250K Miles
Yep, the Jägermobile has over 252,000 miles on it. I just returned from a 3600 mile road trip to the Ozarks and back. I had a great time and the Jägermobile ran flawless. These cars are amazing, the harder you push them, the more they want to go.

"The harder you push them, the more they want to go". Kinda like my ex-wives.

Sorry to bring up yet again an oh-so-recurring topic, and my apologies if you've answered this before, but...original IMS bearing?

No, I replaced the original IMS bearing with LNE bearing (single row) at ~209,000 miles.

To those of you who have upwards of 200k miles + does the engine burn any oil?

209K on a single row IMS bearing? Well done...you must be a gamblin' man!

I replaced the IMS bearing again at 243,000 miles... I had the transmission down so while I was in there I went ahead and replaced it. No issue with the LNE bearing just not quite as smooth as it was when new. BTW I replaced it with another LNE bearing.

Fantastic! These cars are like tough little military tanks when they are given care and driven right.Maybe there is a Quarter Mill decal out there somewhere.
