How many miles, are too many? - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

The major issue was a #1 cylinder connecting rod bearing wiped in a DRM 500/475HP package at 26k miles. I think that says enough. DRM was the only one to ever work on this LT5 and it used his PROM.

All is well now (thank you Marc Haibeck!!!!).

No axes to grind, I am just curious if anybody else had issues with DRM?

Thanks for the info Sammy good to know.
