KTMrad 517 Posted September 25, 2012 My F150 now has over 300,000 miles on it, bought new in '98.....original 4.6 Litre V-8 motor and tranny (5 speed). Only major work I had done was the valve job, which was my fault for burning the valve due to running with lean condition too long. Front end ball joints now need to be replaced....wow, they lasted this long, that's pretty damn good. Everything else has been maintenance that you would expect on any vehicle.

kkug 147 Posted September 25, 2012 Wow thats great. Mine lasted to 168 k then had a head gasket problem. It was a auto and I sold it as is fearing I would have to fix the trany after the heads. Good for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted September 25, 2012 My li'l Ranger is still going strong at 160,000 miles. It needed a clutch a couple of years ago, but other than that, it's going strong. It could use a little body work and some fresh paint, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Champ 116 Posted September 25, 2012 We have almost all Fords in our white fleet, well maintained but never babied and driven like a rental I'm sure. Most have over 200,000 who'd a thunk, they aren't Toyotas but that is a darn good track record. Randy I have a good recommendation for ball joints if you want. C-Ya.

Bagstr 288 Posted September 25, 2012 Let's not ruin the mood by discussing the "89 Taurus. Every time I would talk to the folks at the dealer, " Oh yeah, we have that sorted now." I know, trucks are different. Rad, glad it worked out for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteelRain 0 Posted September 26, 2012 Ford trucks are a testament to NAFTA and international cooperation. I still find it amazing that the product produced is of pretty high quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
