367,000KM 2000 4.2L V6 F150 Ext. Cab Flareside
Original power-train: Engine, Transmission and Differential
New power steering pump (Pulley fell off and was unable to buy just a pulley, pump was fine)
Electrical work for the tail-lights (Tail-lights went out due to faulty wiring when I wired my backup beeper)
Rear drivers leaf-spring
Spark plugs (As a part of routine maintenance)
Exhaust weld patches

Everything else is original beside normal wear and tire items, tires, ball joints and wheel bearings. Over-all she hauls pretty good for the old girl.

 

373 000 KM= 231 771 miles. 98 F150 2WD 4.6

I have done:

Tires twice
Front brakes twice
Exhaust manifold on passenger side
Steering box (this was totally my fault though)
Rear shackles
Rear ABS sensor
Heater resistor
Tie Rod ends
IAC
Spark plug wire
Muffler- but I didn't NEED a new one for probably another year- more wanting an upgrade.

And I think that's it. Almost one repair for every year that I owned it. Engine, Transmission and rear end are original. However I have driven her pretty hard and she still pulls strong. (knock on wood lol). Ford built a great truck imo.

 

74,583 miles, did i win?


the only thing that has actually broke is the transmission and that was about 8,000 miles ago.
everything else got replaced because i wanted to or because it was my fault

 

I bought my truck 2 years ago with 19000 and now 27000 lol did i win too.^^^^^^^^^

 

This could be an interesting thread lets keep it alive!!!

BTW I saw a Crown Vic today with 500 000 KM=310685 miles. If I remember correctly it was an 03. Guy wanted $1500 for it. good shape from the looks of it.

When I can afford a second car its either gonna be a 79-04 Mustang, or pretty much any 2004 or older Crown Vic/ Grand Marquis/ Marauder (I Wish lol)

 

Mine has a little over 253K miles on it.

Bought brand new in 1998.
Replaced hydrolocked engine in 2002-3
Replaced front brakes 2007
Replaced clutch pack/slave cylinder in 2008
Replaced cam position sensor in 2009
Replaced shocks/leaf springs in 2010
Replaced rear catalytic converters in 2011.

That's it.

 

not a high mileage truck but here is mine...

2003 with 105k miles

replaced rear end gears at around 88k (somehow it got water in it, sealed up now and doing good)
had mechanic do a tune-up with new plugs at the same time

 

2000 4x4 5.4L 133k Bought slightly used in 01 with 20k miles

lower balljoints, tierods, sway bar end links, one wheel bearing, plugs, heater core, Both driveshafts (my fault), u-joints, T-stat, Think thats it

 

1997 f150 with 160k needed new front right abs sensor, whole new right rear brake assembly (lug came out and cleaned house) egr tube from manifold. pulled stock spare holder and made a new one, (gotta love living on gravel.) new lower and upper radiator hoses (still has a leak ) new vacuum booster and master cylinder. getting due for upper and lower ball joints and rear end, (buddy has a f250 front and rear axle he may give me ) im prolly missing something, but i'll think of it later on.

 

2001 Supercrew bought in april of 2000. 195,000 miles.
Almost everything wrong had nothing to do with the truck itself.
-lots of cops
-Torque converter around 140k
-Rear end complete rebuild around the same time...a lube tech had zip tied my vent tube to the frame so it pulled off the top of the differential. A summer full of lake trips did it in.
-The only things that happened which were true flaws are the cracked manifolds(intake and exhaust)
