Awesome!!!! Did you disable your AFM?

 

[KBones]

Nice work! Any advice?

nice , What year? I remember when I worked at the Volvo dealer 25 years ago, The factory would send you a dash plaque every 100k miles. Too bad the cheap bastard's at Generous Motors can't come up with an idea like that. of course if everybody got 300k on their vehicle they would go broke. oh well that a great achievement.

That's crazy! Lots of miles!

2007 5.3 Original engine and trans. My advice would be to stay away from the dealership if you need work done. If you are mechanical, do your own repairs. Once my warranty expired, I started to perform my own maintenance (Seems I'm pretty good since I've got over 300K).

Here's a list of a few of the things I've replaced:
A/C (compressor, evaporator, orifice)
U Joints
shocks
break pads
rotors
oil changes
spark plugs (back left one is tough!)
Sway bar links
O2 sensors
Rocker cover gaskets
About to replace the lifters (I've got stuck lifters)
Turned off AFM with the Range device

even if you have oil consumption, Will disabling AFM help. ive read both sides saying it did help and it did not.
