the video of the van is still on youtube its under million mile ford, its a 97 e250 with the 5.4, he has a website about it, www.millionmilevan.com has some info about it there, pretty amazing for a gas motor to last that long

The most ive ever managed was 372xxx on a 94 4x4 with a 5.8 then i passed it down to my little brother and he blew the engine jumping pond dikes. It was a great truck. My 00 is close to 170xxx so we will see what happens.

The 7.3 Powerstroke F350 I drove when I delivered Ford parts had 420k miles. Ran like a top too!

The Chevy 3500HD wrecker I drive at work has a little over 315k on it...but it's also been through 1 motor and 1 transmission rebuild...

The Ford F-650 on the other hand has about 300k with no major issues...5.9 Cummins tho.

I think the most impressive might be my mom's '90 F-150 5.0 though--190k and doesn't leak a drop of oil and has the ORIGINAL clutch in it--and it pulled a 7k lb horse trailer most of its life.

Even if you have to replace a tranny or two most vehicles will get to 500k if you drive them. Mine shows over 253K on the odometer so that would be about 155k miles. 5 transmissions, 1 t-case and 3 differentials later.... The point is if you still want to invest in your vehicle it will continue on for you.

That's what happens when you swap a blown 5.4 into a vehicle with a M5OD-R2. That's a light duty tranny.
