As you may recall (if not I'll remind you) P.J. bet $10,000 that my original VP-44 would not make it to 200K miles. Well below is the proof and I want P.J. to PAY UP!


I attribute the longevity to the following; (maybe ....maybe not)

1. I keep the fuel tank 1/2 full.
2. I use 2% preimium bio-diesel.
3. I use Power Service Silver in the summer & white in the winter.
4. I watch the fuel pressure like a hawk, Fass II.
5. I allow the truck to warm up every start. (remote start)
6. Cool down to EGT's 350F.
7. I drive it like I stole it.
8. I'm a lucky guy.

 

I'll chip in my 2 cents to help PJ'S cause...

 

I take paypal!

(I need to start saving up now, cause it's gonna break anyday now that I'm making a big deal out of it.)

 

I don't quite remember 10G's.

 

PJ,
You could take 9 bites of this and give Geico the last bite:

We have a '98.5 at work with 260something on it, original VP. Probably the original LP. No gauges, driven by steering wheel holders. What's that saying about the Lord looking after children and idiots?

 

Ewwwww! P.J Kooodies! I want his money, not his germs!

 

Well then! I have 60K more to go.

 

So are you now taking bets on whether you make it to 250K?!?

 

do i hear double or nothing?

 

Sure! I'm holding all bets! Send money to WWW.Geico'sretirementfund.com

 

I think I am getting a reprive from the first wager. Something about if he is in the Mid Atlantic region the Crabs and Beer are on me?
Heck, might even offer our guest room or 5'er if he were to need it.

 

Geeez! That just might work too!

 

That's a lot of crabs & beer to make up for that. Glad to hear you made it that far on the 44. Better knock on wood before it goes out.

 

Shhhhhh!

He's been knocking, and some praying from what I understand too.

It's some kind of freak pump, might be a prototype that snuck through somehow. You know, the one Bosch could have built that actually lasts longer than 3 years?
