How well are the new lightning holding up with higher mileage? I have found quite a few 99 and 00 models dipping into the 13-16k range with higher mileage and am a little worried that they might end up requiring expensive repairs. I am pretty mechanicly inclined, but I am not sure how hard it is to work on these trucks. Are parts really high?

I need a new truck/daily driver as my current 98 GMC with a 350 is damn near at 200k. I hate to get rid of it as it has only had a few small repairs and very little money spent in parts over the last 3 years. (It does have a Ford fuel pump in it)

To sum it up I want to know if they get really raggedy with mileage. I am a long time mustang owner and I know the build quality of the newer stangs is lacking to say the least when the miles start to rack up.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

 

mines a daily driver, but ive only got 200 miles on it, so i cant attest how they hold up to higher mileage, but i can say that those 2000 were the best miles ive ever driven!!

 

theres not that many high mileage L's out there. Most of the higher ones are in the low 100's. Im just at 16,000 and ive had my truck almost two years.

 

I know there are at least two people here over the 100,000. Sauvy is one of them. He has a built motor in his now but other than that I believe his truck has performed flawless other than routine maintenance. If you take care of your truck she will take care of you.

 

Most of the trucks I am looking at have between 70-90k on them. I really want one but kind of would like to find out the price of the holly blower and get a crew cab 4x4.

Thanks for the input, keep em coming.

 

How long is that non-forged 5.4 in the crew cab gonna hold up with 7 psi????????

 

Not that long!!!
