Who is in the 100,000 mile club?
My 89 f150 has 145,000 miles with about 12,000 on a rebuilt engine. It was still strong but I needed more power
. My 95 Lightning has 101,000 all original. Looking to at least double the miles on both of 'em.

I've got 165,000 on the beast, 100,000 of which are mine. Has been very reliable even when it's not running quite right. Have been taking advice from y'all for awhile and it still runs strong, thanks in advance. Now for what I've had to do to it.....It's on it's 4th set of plug wires, 2nd set of coil packs, 3rd set of tires, 3rd set of front brakes, 2nd set of Flowmasters(as first aftermarket setup used cheap pipes and rusted like swiss cheese), new leftside header and egr tube, as the original had the design "flaw" with the rusted nuts and bolts thing. When I finally pulled the TB to clean it, it had like a chunk of charcoal (literally) built up in the egr ports. Other than that, nothing mechanical. Regularly maintained and it's good to go. Pull a boat around in the summer, and let friends borrow it for moving and such, still looks great and actually got thanked once, by a Ford worker in a traffic jam, "for driving the 150."

I have a 1999 F150 (4wd, 5.4L) with 108,000 miles. Turned 100,000 on 10/17/2007. Has been a very reliable truck. Only major issue is with the lower door seams rusting out on both the drivers and passengers side.
I was poster #160 & #928 in this thread years back and I now have 212,000 miles on my '99 Scab 5.4. To date I have replaced 2 alternators, #3 &4 coil, pcv valve, front brake rotors, upper & lower ball joints both sides, spark plugs once, and a few batteries. I've cleaned the IAC once, and it needs it again. The spark plugs will be changed next week as well as the #3 coil again. I just got a check engine light and checked it and it looks like I have another pcv to replace p0141 p0140 engine bank 1&2 lean. It drinks a quart or 2 of oil between changes (about 4k-5000 miles), but other than that it's still going strong. I keep saying if it'll last another year I'll be happy...that's been 3 years now
