It's been recored several times, but I'm still using the original frame & tanks
from TS39781LO (now in TS13571L). Probably close to
300k miles by now.
I did get tired of it leaking around where the extension joins the upper tank
(overuse of stop leak is probably what led to the last
recore), so I had the shop add some reinforcement around the extension. Just a
length of 1/8" copper "refrigeration tubing" laid on
the joint and soldered on both sides (their idea, not mine). It's worked great
so far.
