My '81 odometer shows 36,000 but that could be another 100 or 200 grand. Back then the odometers didn't go passed 100K because most of the trucks back then didn't go passed 100K. Anyway, she still runs good and doesn't burn any oil. I just made a 250 mile trip today without a hitch. After I tuned the old 351W engine, she went from 10 MPG to 14.
Just a note to say how happy I am with my 1997 F150 XLT. It's all stock, and I am the second owner. Turned 181,000 miles this week. I've had no major problems with it. Other then general maintenance I have replaced the rear driveline due to a rock smacking it and the oil seal on the rear output on the transfer case, and replaced the VSS. Not to shabby for a truck I use for everything!
97 F150 Supercab 4x4 long bed 4.6l 4r70 automatic trans just over 200k changed the rear end to a 99 with disc brakes, overhauled the transmission 40k ago, new leaf springs, new a arms, etc. now the motor finally gave up the ghost and looking to drop in a 5.4l. would like to drop in a newer 3v 5.4l any suggestions ideas greatly appreciated. i will continue to scour the post for info.
As of this point my Exp only has useful value to me. My mileage is high, but this is inclusive of extensive maintenance.
She is in excellent shape still, and doesn't look a day over 11years.
148,000 Mi. noted on Jan. 26 2006 in Newark, NJ.
I last noted my mileage 248,000 Mi. noted on July 23 2009 in Wilmington, DE.
Synthetic Motor oil is the !!!.
