Who is in the 100,000 mile club?
I was looking down at the odometer this morning and I noticed I will turn over 130,000 miles by the New Year and my truck runs great.
I have read a lot of posts about how bad these trucks are and was just wondering how many of us are in the 100,000 miles club (160,900 kilometers for those outside the U.S.).
It is generally accepted that 100,000 miles is a measure of a good vehicle. My truck idles steady at 600 rpm and continues to pull hard.

Have a good one,

2004 F150 XLT Supercab, 5.4 3v with 226,000 miles......... hence the reason I lurk around this forum. Thanks for the all the tips.
My 2002 has 390,235 miles and runs GREAT! Just replaced starter last month and power steering pump just went bad but everything else is original and so were those components (until now) my son just turned 16 so its his now, he helped pick it out when he was 5 years old!!!! KEEP ON TRUCKIN'
My 2003 5.4L XLT Supercrew RWD just crossed 165,000. It's been solid for the last 8 years. Ramped a roundabout at a high rate of speed, hopped a few curbs, hit a few mailboxes, and the motor still runs great. Just replaced the intake manifold gaskets but hooked the wiring back up wrong on the starter relay switch like a newbie (fried two solenoids on the starter before I realized my mistake).
No problems with the transmission(did find a piece of a bracket on the magnet one time but runs smooth), power steering pump, fuel pump, water pump, starter, or alternator so far. Ford Recalled the fuel tank straps and replaced. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the originals but whatever.
Are there any other recalls on this model that I might have missed?
Recent maintenance includes 8 NGK iridium plugs, replaced dry-rotted spark plug boots(original Coil-packs), replaced some dry-rotted hoses, New Upper Control Arms w/ball joints, New Lower ball joints, New front wheel bearings, New front rotors, New Pads, New front and rear shocks, Fuel Filter, New transmission filter and fluid, New pinion seal, Fresh coolant, B&M differential cover, fresh gear oil, New wheel seals all the way around, new brake fluid, new intake manifold gaskets, a belltech rear sway bar, moog pitman/idler arms, tie rods, center link, and stainless steel headers.
Only things I have left to do are.
Buy and install a retractable bed cover, and maybe some rear leafspring supports.
Anybody got an extra nerf bar bracket by chance for the steprails like the ones shown? I'll buy it by paypal if you ship it to me. If you do message me.

Well getting close to a year when mine hit the 100k mark it was August 27th in 2012 when I hit the mark. Currently I have 135k+ miles on my 05 F150 with the 5.4. Original plugs lasted until 131k.
