nope, it has had many bottles sprayed on it. It has pulled racecars on a trailer full of parts,tire/wheels,55 gallon drums of fuel, and etc to oklahoma, missouri, alabama etc.. and still runs good. It has lost a bit of pep but still runs good.

Very impressive. It's amazing what regular, routine maintenance can do to the life of a vehicle. The original front brake pads are still on there?! Do you still have the original G80?

yep original front pads. I never had the g80. I changed the gears and install a eaton about 100k ago. The comp cam has about 110k on it. It shas truely been worth the money I would say.
