Yep, they take that long to break in, now you have 700K to go.

Iam almost to 389K and she runs like a clock.

Now if we can keep everything else in repair so the engine will take us there.


Congrats on the mile stone.

Nice!
I was excited to hit 200k a few days ago, but it seems that I've got a long ways to go...

Damn, do you think the odometer worked the whole time without refurb? That's unusual.
