Survey: How many miles before problems
After reading posts on this board I have come to the concluesion that not everyone can be having problems with thier truck! Please post the mileage that you had before you had problems (not caused by your own doing). Or, if you have not had a problems post your current mileage. Please include your model year and type:
2001 F-150
5.4L auto
SuperCab Lariet 4x4 w/ ORP
63,000 miles and only fluid changes.

99 4.6 f150
auto trannly
45,000 miles
Driven hard. Fluid changes, chip & FTVB.
took it in once at 30,000 miles for rough idle, but they thought it was bad gas. Since then no problems. Other than a broken window arm in the door. Mechanically been great!

5.4
Supercab
I factory ordered this truck and it had about 5 miles on the speedo when I took delivery.
Far too many oil changes to count and all required service.
Only failure I ever had was the drivers side power mirror switch went. Dealer replaced under warrenty.
Truck has been chipped since 800 miles as well as Gibson exhaust and AF1 intake.
I replaced the front brake pads last week and the rotors are still good, not even turned yet.

1997 F-150 supercab 4x4 flareside lariat, 4.6 automatic.
1 tensioner pulley, 1 brake caliper, fuel filter, plugs and wires. Now, a heater hose. The plugs and wires didn't really need changed, the fuel filter was the culprit of my misfire, but they had 110,000 miles on them, so I figured they were due.

'97 F250 LD, 4x2, 5.4/4R100. Went 100K-something before #3 plug blew out. Other than maintenance items and an alternator, that's the only big problem I've had with it. (Knock on wood)
My '04, I guess the biggest problem, the one that annoyed me the most was when the fuel filler latch broke. That was at 6900ish miles.

70,000 miles even
brake pads, turned rotors, new serpentine belt
And a broken window last week...138 bucks gone
Only real mechanical problem ive had was when the truck had 400 miles on it, it had to have a completely new rear end due to the fact that there was no oil put in the rear end from the factory

Bought it with 8 miles now at 21,000 and no problems except that the darn thing keeps getting dirty. When are they going to invent self cleaning paint???
