on march 1st 2009 ive had the f150 for 5 years, first one in east TN to own one, so im the origional in my parts , and at almost 60k miles the only mechanical problems ive had are worn brake pads, burnt rotors, moister in brakelines.......

just had to get that out there

plans for 2009 are and alpine stereo setup (one of those "all in one" screen ones) power locks, power windows, and cruise

I'm 30 days shy, picked mine up on March 31st 1999.

She broke down me for the first time last Tuesday.

 

Picked mine up 3/22/04. She has 87,000 miles on it. I've had to replace the entire brake system including lines, reseal the DOT stop light twice, and it still has the incredibly lousy factory windshield that's so distorted you can't hardly see out of it. But she's mine. Bought and paid for and no monthlies. I still get a noisy rear axle in the summer only, and I've had to steam clean the entire interior because it stained with water- now it's all stained the same color. While it hasn't been trouble free, it hasn't left me anywhere yet....knock on wood. I hated this thing since day one but it has grown on me. I intend to keep it around a while longer.
