Just hit 120k last week. Had to have the trany rebuilt at about 110k. Right now I'm having a bunch of small electrical problems which I'm thinking is my bcm, going to have that looked at next month. My AC compressor kicks on and off every few seconds, I'm hoping it's just bcm related and the compressor isn't going out. I have an aftermarket alarm and HID's so I'm guessing that helped screw it up. For those that had to get the bcm replaced and reprogrammed about how much did that cost you all? Think I may also replace the cat soon, I notice it gets a bit bogged down when I get around 50mph, unless I give it some more gas.

Sounds like that air conditoner is low on R-134. That, or the relay is bad. If you determine it has enough freon, I'd look into that BCM like you mentioned before you go hunting down bad relays. Good luck with that!

She's good on freon, had her recharged not too long ago.

167k. Only problems with it at the moment mechanically is the power steering is making odd noises. I know the plugs and wires were replaced. I plan on adding another 100k at least to the mileage if nothing bizarre happens with how it functions. I love it too much to ever let it go.

its nice to see there are those with high mileage that still drive and enjoy there MC's. I have 156,000km on mine. I've had a transmission solenoid, thermostat, and cat go bad (knock on wood) so far in the last 40,000km that I've own it. Aside from the sunroof and drivers heated seat that don't work, I replaced suspension & steering components in my garage @ home, replaced all the fluids, I'm modifying it with N/A L36 bolt ons, installed GM ground effects myself and plan on camming it this year. I got a lot of nice goodies I'm looking to install very soon as well...
