How many miles on your ls1

I just want to know how many miles you have on your ls1 and what repairs you had to do and at how many miles.

Just under 65,000 on my '02 Z28. I have a bad driver's side window motor; I did the temporary fix (disable the overheat protection circuit), but have yet to replace it with a new one.

My Corsa cat-back rattles a little bit sometimes; I think I have a loose hanger. Once the weather warms up I'll crawl under the car and figure out where it's coming from.

The only other thing is that sometimes it's hard to push the shifter into 1st gear. It only happens about 1% of the time. This is apparently due to a slightly-misaligned first gear synchro, and is common to all T56 cars.

bought it with 36k on it and just hit 48k 4 years later. only major problem i had was something goofy in the wiring where it would kill the ignition relay whenever it felt like f&*king me on the road, or sometimes it wouldnt start in the driveway, of course after i call a tow truck and they arrive, its starts right up. $54 for the tow and a few cuban cigars for the repairs and i was good to go.

How much is it to get a new engine and can you just rebuild it and how much that cost, or that isn't a good idea?

And the deal he was giving me was to put down a 1,000 and pay 220 a month. If I go through capitol one how would that work out.

115k on my '01........at about 105k, the map sensor went bad which somehow made the MAF and TPS go bad.....the bad MAF fouled all the plugs and 1 O2 sensor. I replaced the map sensor, MAF, TPS, plugs, and O2 sensor......runs like a champ!

A new LS1 engine can be found for anywhere from about $2500 on up, depending on exactly what you get. A rebuild is possible, and could be a good idea, depending on what (if anything) is wrong with the stock motor. Why? Is the motor bad?

How many months? What interest rate?

This is not an engine specific technical question and does NOT belong in this forum.

113,000 miles No major repairs
Headlight motor, Fuel level sensor, A/C Compresor all under warranty before 50,000. Since then I have repaced the water pump, Drivers window motor, power antenna, Left motor mount and Trans mount (both polyurethane). And swapped to hardened pushrods because of a blown shift.
Car still runs great dynoed 300 RWHP and 322 RWTQ at the wheels last year with 109K on it and it is still on the Original Clutch.

Mine's around 58k now. I've only put about 6k of that on. I've had to replace the coolant resv cause of the stupid battery hold down. I'd like to kick whatever engineer in the ***** who came up with that piece of crap.

Having said that, i've found the repair history on my car from the previous owner, and it was a long scary list (including two rear end repairs). Had i known about it, i probably would have passed on the car. I guess i could also look at it as having a lot of new parts on the car! haha...
