Lightning sc go out at 100k miles

Also someone said that used lightning over 100k are bound to cause problems


What should I look for when buying a lightning

superchargers dont go out at or over 100k unless they have been abused....

But I wouldnt buy a lightning with 100k + miles just for the simple fact that there are so many low mile lightnings out there

And unless it has a built motor in it I would look for an unmolested(stock) one that will give you better starting platform. Most modded lightnings have been rode hard and put up wet no matter what the owners of them say.

If I did it again, I'd buy built or a roller for cheap and throw in a built motor.

Whens the last time i heard a stock supercharger failing? Um....

My truck has over 100,000 miles, runs perfect, starts everyday with no hiccups whatsoever, and has never left me stranded. It takes care of me so i take care of it (as in keep up with service).

Mainly the thing is to get a stockish truck, me i would stray away from modded trucks (as with any car) knowing that they have been driven hard, and with more wear and tear. Lightnings only weakpoint is the bottom end (wimpy rods), many guys have pushed over 500hp to the tire, with some not making it over 450hp, so if you see a full bolton truck that has not been taken care of, then steer away. Trans, rear end, driveshaft, etc, are undestructible so dont worry there. If you find a 99-00 make sure the intercooler recall was done.

By the way, it might better to ask this question on Lightningrodder.com.

look for previous mods as many people like to "de-mod" prior to selling a Lightning
