im only at 108. dude i used to know has an 05 screw 5.4 4x4 with over 260 on it. his uncle bought it new in 05, drove it back and forth from va to fl for work. his uncle had grease fittings put in the suspension pieces (stock balljoints) and plugs done every 60 i wanna say. My buddy did have to replace all the bearings in the 9.75 at the 260 ish mark. no window regulators, 4wd work, anything. pulled a camper with it too sometimes.

i plan on driving mine till it has that much on it

all you guys with over 200k what advice do you have for us? little things that we can do now to help out when were over 200 k

 

My dads 98 just hit 290k miles and my 05 is running like a champ at 145k miles on it. Had to do regular tune especially the kind of weather we get in Illinois 60 degrees one day the next -2 haha but ive changed the plugs and coils, rebuilt tranny, and only run syn. oil and 93 gas. The 97 e150 high top i had as my first car hit 328k before i left it at my uncles shop to sit. that thing was a beast everything still stock on it nothing has been touched besides maintenance stuff. Ford Tough baby!!

 

I have 200,000 miles on my 2004 f150 engine and trans original.
Runs great.
Had cam phaser replaced when near new. Still makes a ticking sound but no big deal. Nature of the beast.
Transmission works perfectly but makes a whine sound. I will rebuild soon.

I want to find an engine from a junk yard to have ready to stick in when needed.
What year model of 5.4 should I look for with the most upgrades and least problems? The 2008? When I replace engine....do I have to raise the cab?
Thanks

 

^put that question in an engine forum

 

2005 F150 FX4

190,000 miles

 

F150 not happy

 

At 277,000 km (172k mi) mine dropped a valve after being dealer serviced its whole life. Not impressed.

 

That's as much or more than you can "expect." It's above average.

 

2006 SCrew.
226,070 miles.

 

182,000 miles on my 2007 still running strong except for a manifold leak oh well that means time to put on an exhaust system?!

 

84,000 miles on my 08 lariat limited. Did plug change 1,000 miles ago and it was a breeze. maintenance kept up to date. Truck runs like a champ.

 

155K on my 05 Lariat 4X4...the last 75k were much more trouble free than the first 80k...

Transmission at 51k, Head, Catalytic Converter at 81k, Alternator last summer

 

100,200 on my '04. Manifold leak starting but that's what headers are for LOL. Plugs will be tackled again this year. Eventually new timing components as well.

 

I'm at 153k on my 05 xlt I have the opposite had more problems in the last 73k than the first 80k on mine. Replaced 3 coil packs in the last 22k miles and had one injector and the cat on left bank replaced around 92k.

 

207k on my 2004. Had new trans in at 185k phasers and plugs done around 150k other than a quart of oil here and there all is good....knock on wood
