What happened to your current engine?
I blew the engine on the cruise last month after CnC. A rod went though the bottom of the block and through the mesh on Peng's bumper.

Damn that blows.

Hopefully my **** does that so I can have my warranty cover it. Im at 101k. Started at 84k and got to 101 in less than 1 year.

Was the oil changed regularly on the car? Had you changed it before it blew? Did the original owner have it changed regularly?

That's good news Bruce. Was wondering how the search was going. Still planning to do the swap yourself with the help from family members?

I changed the oil twice in the time I had it. I cant vouch for the previous owner. But there werent any problems until right before it blew.

That is really strange. These things aren't known for blowing, let alone an automatic DE. Especially at only 82k.

Haha I don't really notice a whole big difference with the different combo's I've had on my car...

There is way too many variables to consider trying to pinpoint any one thing that causes poor mileage, it's impossible.
