My Uncle the Pontiac/Cadillac Dealer for 67 years used to say:

4 cylinder engine can live for "X" number of miles
6 cylinder engine can live for "2X" number of miles
8 cylinder engine can live for "3X" number of miles.

Lots of 7.3 liter diesels with 300K plus miles on them out there in service.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
