They are MOOG. That is all I will put under my truck. I was running LT265/75R16E tires and now running LT285/75R16E tires. All on stock steel wheels.

You've got some other issues tearing them up then. I've got over 50K miles on AZ ones(back before they were chinese made, will be going with MOOG when they go) in my BURB with a few boosted launches on them, and they're still holding up. And one of them boosted launches was all 4 spinning on a track treated with VHT(I was trying to leave WAY to hard at 12 pounds of boost, was an eery ride spinning em 1st, 2nd, and catching in 3rd and taking off).

what he said... no reason in the world for them to be going out... what grease are you using on em?

I have 260,000 miles on my 2006 silverado 4.8. Still runs great. Just had to put an engine in my sons 99 F-150 with only 130k on it.

I got 210k out of my 4th gen LT1 Trans Am (I gave it hell too), my buddy got 160k out of his 4.6 mustang. I'm a GM fan all the way.

Oh, and my Dodge Ram caught on fire after two engines and three transmissions.

On that GM front end has anyone tightened up them torsion bars for height?? that will mess with the front end big time!! I had a 2002 Chevy and sold it to my friend 3 years ago with 190,000 and it now has 230,000 and he says its the best thing he has ever bought! 4.8 motor, was good on gas, but I think my current 5.3 is a bit better!
Power window motors, wheel hubs, fuel pump all gave me crap other then that the thing was always great! As stated you get what you pay for as far as parts! I faught hard with a few different wheel hubs before getting smart!

I have had Chevy for years and years, I bought a 98 Ford and traded it in less then a year and will never do that again!!

Or we can triple it. I cant decide between a Tarpon 160 or Native Mariner 12.5 Propel.
