2001 F-150 SuperCrew w/ 80K miles.

Considering that from 2006-2009 the truck literally did not move from the back yard, she has a short list other than fluids.

Battery, Idle Control Sensor, Tires (once)

I replaced the intake and the exhaust, but other than that, everything is original.

2001 Screw 4x4, 219000 miles.
- 2 Blown plugs (didn't have enough fun the first time to torque them properly).
- 3 COP's
- All 4 rotor / brakes
- 2 Wheel bearings
- Pinion seal
- U-joints
- Upper A-arm assembly
- Lower ball joints
- Stabilizer link
- Front shocks
- Battery
- Alternator
- Muffler

The tranny was replaced before I bought it and the rear end is starting to act up on me. After seeing that list typed out I may just put her out of her missery. All without ever owning a garage!

My 2006 5.4 has 87k, nothing interesting. However, my friend's father has a 1999 with 370k on the original motor and trans. The motor has had some work done, don't remember what anymore, but it's original and has not been rebuilt. I'm interested in just how long it'll last. The original trans is really what throws be off, no way mine'll last anywhere near that long

We have a customer that has 2002 Super Duty 7.3 with over million miles on it. Has never had the trans or engine changed. We sold it new and have done all the all the service work on it.
