How reliable is a boosted truck?
#11
I've got over 40K on my truck with the MP112 in place. I just cammed it and pullied it down at Christmas and wish I'd done it 5 years ago. I've currently got 64K on the clock and expect it to last as long as I want to drive it. I run it hard whenever I want and am not especially worried about the engine lasting as much as the tranny and the G80. When they go they will be upgraded to an FLT level VII and a Truetrac.

I bought my maggie in May of 2004, and it still works like brand new. In 2007 I swapped the 4.8 out (about 80,000 miles) for a 6.0L, and the 4.8 was still in excellent condition. This after having run it mostly with a 3.25" pulley and 10 psi boost. The one part I might worry about is the 4L60e transmission. Mine was slipping on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts even with the 4.8, standard Magnacharger tune, and stock 3.7" pulley.
