    Howdy from Far West Texas

    Howdy I live down in Far West Texas near Terlingua. My truck is an '85 K20 Suburban that I have had since 1994. Tranny is a SM465, had a Goodwrench crate 350 put in when the original hit 325,000 miles. Was burning a quart of 20-50 every 500 miles. Now the Burb has 425K on it. Splendid truck.
