Just popping in to do some research and wanted to say hello to everyone that I've missed. I still have my 2004 and just passed 221,000 miles. Put a new engine in about 5,000 miles ago, along with some suspension and front end work. My only issue now is that I've lost overdrive...no biggie. Looks like I'm keeping her for a while...I just can't seem to let go! She's been wrecked 5 times, but obviously nothing too serious. I hope everyone is doing well! Any old timers want to check in?

 

I'm still alive and kickin', lol. I'm only at 155K miles on mine, but still running like a top. I did just have to shell out money for new front hubs since the Centric conversion kit I put on has recently had the bearings (cheap Chinese crap) start making a racket after 75K miles or so. Not Ford's fault for the cheap bearings, but it is Ford's fault on the asinine front hub/brake design on 2WD trucks. Other than, it's been just basic maintenance for over a decade.

 

It may be the OD servo snap ring.
