High mile issues

[Blkblk13car]

Hey all,

I’m starting to reach the end of my extended warranty on my 2013 GT500. just got it back for a total
diff rebuild, wheel hub, and A/C fix under warranty.

I’ve been daily driving mine for years at this point. I have 94,xxx on it. I don’t race, I average 16-18mpg overall even with some traffic. Love the car but starting to think about what-ifs.

mainly worried about potential high priced engine issues. The rest of the car is pretty easy to find parts for and work on. The trinity is not.

I see there’s lots of blown motors and cracked crank snouts on modded cars but mine has been 100% stock since the day it rolled off the line.

So what all should I be aware of nearing the 100k mark? Am I rolling the dice with an impending catastrophic $10,000 rebuild in my future?

Keep enjoying it. She'll go another 100k easy daily driving it. Good to see some out there using their Shelby.

Looks good!

Im hoping! we have shared a lot of dings, dents, and good times. And I basically owe nothing on it. But the potential bill has me worried!

Honestly man, I’ve had my fair share of issues with mine. However the motor itself has had no issues. Keep up on maintenance and she’ll be good for a long long time man.

I think everything but the motor, tranny, and drive shaft has been changed via warranty at this point. So hoping I beat the odds

Well that’s good then, those have stayed strong since day 1. That’s gotta stand for something. I’d say you have the higher mileage one on here for sure. I’m behind you a little bit.

I think youll be completely find engine wise (properly tuned) if you keep the power levels below 800 RWHP.

Stock its really not even a discussion imo.

If it were me, I would get a compression check done.
I myself would be curious and especially proud if the #'s came back healthy.
I also sent you a PM

I think LMR strapped a high mileage GT500 to the dyno…

It is a 2012 though.

Lots of miles and smiles you have enjoyed your Shelby unlike me with just smiles and no miles. LOL

Hey that was a good pull. We can only hope we have minimal loss like that on ours!
