I understand that I could be spinning my wheels so to speak, but then again, maybe such a program is beneficial for the life of a truck; especially when one considers that adding hp and torque increases overall stress.

Yes I agree with you, with a tuning mod I think your service plan will be a benefit to your vehicle. Good luck with your tuning!

It is almost all highway miles. How else could he have 178,000 miles on an 05. His company replacement policy is 3 years old or 100,000 miles, whichever comes LAST. His 3 years is up this month but he wants to keep it longer. His company only buys 4X2 Ford products. He's gone through Crown Vics, Explorers and now the 150. he likes the 150 better than any of the others and plans on getting another if they will let him. Once a vehicle is warmed up and running down a level interstate, there is almost no wear on anything. Cold starts and stop and go traffic is where the wear occurs. He never carries anything with any weight so that is not an issue.
