Problems after 200,000 Miles

[90 ST]

I've had a few guys ask, so i'll make a thread on it. I'm in Kms, but I convert it for this.

-ECU died after about 6 months, warranty no biggy other then the down time.

-CSC, went through the original one at about 135,000 miles. (since then I've had to do the CSC 2 more times, the first time it was done I changed to a Stillen flywheel and ACT clutch, it was too much pressure for the OE CSC so I put the OE parts in and it's been good. The dealer even covered them this time, had the master done each time as well.)

-SL went about 150,000 miles, before the recall, got reimbursed after the recall and another one put in, just so they could say it was done and I had the newest version.

-Front hubs, cant remember when for sure, but about 150,000 also.

-Fuel sending unit had to be changed a couple times also, both under warranty, not reading full.

-Fuel Prefilter dirty causing loss of RPM at about 175,000 miles, I pulled the pump unit out and cleaned it, been good since.

-Paint wise, I have a couple paint bubbles starting, as I do drive the car all year round in Canada. As well the usual stone chips, which I try and fill as soon as I notice them.

Oil changes with Redline are every 4500miles, (i'm down about a quart each change) full fluid change every 60k with Redline oils also. Plugs and drive belt (accessory belt) if you prefer done every 75k.

Try to run only Shell premium fuel also.

If you have any questions let me know, if I can think of any thing else I will add it.

Thanks and keep driving!

Nice man. That's a whole lot of driving

You should go RB26 after your engine dies man, I totally would

Love it man! That's great that only those few minor issues have come up after all that distance, and in the Canadian winters too! Did you have the undercoating done when you bought it? Any rust anywhere at all?

If this was a ford forum with the same title thread, I'd be scrolling down on the OP for the next 3 hours lol

Very nice. Keep it running. Love seeing cars go as far as it can.

No undercoating, just 3m on the front. Just the paint bubbles mentioned. And of course surface rust under the car.

I'm assuming the '90 ST is done right up.

Edit: Check his photo albums

Did you swap out any wheel bearings/bushings/suspension components?

Yep as mentioned below, I have a 90 GMC short box with a built 454 with dual TBI injection.
