Is my car awesome @ 100,000 miles or what?
I have noticed SEVERE amounts of CEL codes being thrown on TCs and SCs since I've been a member. I am just wondering why they happen so often when I've never had a CEL since I've owned my car. I thought for sure I'd throw a code when I installed by CAI, but it's been 6k miles and I've yet to throw one.
Maybe my car isn't telling me when a problem occurs. Or maybe my car is awesome at fixiing its own problems. Or maybe, just maybe, I have the best SS/SC car ever built. I mean, she's got 103k miles as of today and I've never had any problems out of her (with the exception of my other thread I just posted). God, I pray she lasts another 100k.
Please tell me someone else out there has had their car for a while and has never thrown a code.

its like these Chevy's are programmed to throw codes after warranty expires.. my moms Tahoe. extended warranty recently expired and its got the check engine light.
aside from your transmission problem having no codes is nice... the reason why Chevy's don't last is because people don't take care of them. But if you take care of it... it will last...

Yayerz! I'm not the only one then.
I didn't really start to "take care" of it until a little over 2 years ago. Ever since I became enthused with the LSJ, I've taken pretty good engine/transmission care of her. As for appearance... well, she's seen better days

Nah, you aren't the only one.
If you take care of them they will take care of you... and my 06 had a 2.7, custom tune, meth, full bolt ons... 28k miles on the stock clutch even

I have an 05 with 40K miles. All your basic bolt ons. No CEL, but I have had a few other common problems. Steering clunk, steering wheel peels, window motors, hole in driver floor mat, the list goes on with little things.

Only major item I have had to have work on was when my sunroof track decided to explode.
Other than that I have only had 2 CELs. One was because I forgot the plug the sensor back in after doing an oil change and the other was because of when I did a fuel filter change and plugged the relay back in the wrong spot.
