These guys, these guys, and then these guys have you beat by over 100,000 miles.

Bent6 has over 300,000 on his 4.6L V-8, and there's another guy on here who has about 409K on his 4.6.

285,000 on my 2.8 in the 1985 ranger 4X4. I reringed it at 200,000 miles and the crank measured to new specs. I should have left it alone.

Yep, almost 310,000 miles on my 4.6. Original engine and trans with only routine manintenance on those items.

Got a new job 12miles from home. Only drive about 10,000 miles a year now, was over 20,000 before. Rust is going to get it before it makes 400,000 miles

Can you get it oil sprayed? I know in Canada (where I am from) a lot of people do that. I think it is hard on anything rubber but it sure keeps the bodies from rusting.

Stongest running 5.4L around these parts, smokes the 3 valve.. Not many mods, I keep a fresh set of COP's and type 3 injectors in her, change every winter (thanks to ebay). It has a Magnaflow Cat Back system,Ported and Polished TB and Elbow, K & N Filter, Brembo rotors, Car Quest Blues , New calipers and a recently a New set of Goodyear Fortera's

Adding Soon : Air Force 1 Filter ( K & N is letting to much crap get past it) , Transgo shift kit and Kooks headers..

Yep, me to. The outter y-pipe studs rusted out on both sides causing a loud leak each time. I burned them out with a torch and put bolts in their place. The maifold to block studs are also junk. The reamost stud's head has popped off on both sides. One side leaks a little 'till it warms up.

I'll be in the club in about 3 miles. I have 199,997 on my 97 F150 4.6 auto 4x4. I just did an oil change on it Mon. When I hit 200k, I'm gonna try for 300k. I figure by the time I get it paid off in 2 years I'll roughly have about 250k on it.
