Who is in the 100,000 mile club?
#2642
100,000 miles today on my 07 Lariat Super crew. We financed it march 3/3/13 with 72,000. I've done plugs at 73,000, FPDM mod, Front and rear Wagner pads and raybestos rotors, flushed all brake fluid at 98,000. Lower BJ's and UPCA, Tires, fuel filter, new battery in the 3 years I've financed it. Cleaned MAF. The oncoming month will be transmission service, coolant, front and rear diff and power steering fluid service. I tow from time to time and the PHP gryphon tuner has been great to monitor what temps i choose. I have a maintenance log of everything done for it so i can keep track of it and the wife's 13 jetta
Future will be: Back up camera with new GPS head unit, led bumper lights, window tint, PTM mirror caps and bumpers, headlight retro..
I Love the reliability of the truck and the forum!
I troll on the forum for how to's and to see the beautiful tucks

2000 4.6
My first post on here. I've got a 2000 F150 4.6 with 336,000+ miles on it. Factory drivetrain... Still runs great and pulls hard. Uses a little oil, but what do you expect from that many miles. Valve stem deals leak a touch lol

100,000 mile club
I actually bought my F-150 at 89,000 miles used through a private sail. I grew up with my father always owning Ford vehicles including trucks, so I have always wanted one. I came into a little bit of money and purchased a 2004 5.4 V8 Triton motor super crew XLT very clean and well taken care of. all sorts of paperwork showing years of service and maintenance. I feel like I was very lucky, I bought it and immediately had new tires and 100,000 mile maintenance done costing another $1,700 but I have 107,350 miles now and still have no complaints she runs like a champ. I am so glad there is a group like this full of owners willing to help each other out.

160K but that's not new to me
My present F150 is just under 160,000 miles of which I put on about half in the last three years. As I said I have had nothing but Ford F series since 1990 and every single one of them went to 300K plus miles. My 99 Super duty 6.2 had 365,000 on it and I reluctantly sold it to a gentleman who paid me two grand over high book. It was in good shape other than the frame rust from Minnesota winters. Love those Farmalls!
I'm not a die hard Ford fan but I stick with what's working for me. I take care of my equipment and it takes care of me. But by no means excessively! I'm retired now and still likely drive more than most. Those Fords have taken me to every state but one. I couldn't find a long enough snorkel for the last state. Had to fly!

1999 F-150 XLT V6 260,321 and going strong.
I've had small issues with electrical.. and AC clutch going out, but power train is still running great. I had planned to get rid of it many years ago, but its paid for, and the cost of a new one just about gave me a heart attack!!! So I will drive the wheels off of it and pass it on to my Son in a couple of years.

mikester01 has me beat by 2,000 miles
258,000 on my 1999 F-150XLT V-6. At about 253,000 I've started getting low oil pressure warnings at an idle stop when the engine is warmed up. Replaced the oil pressure sending unit but the problem persisted.
Had a neighbor who runs a shop check it with a mechanical gauge and the engine is dropping down to 5 lbs of pressure at idle and in gear. Apparently the rear main bearings/seal are shot, but he said it could run another couple of years like that.
But he did comment the rest of the engine is solid and it has great pickup when he got on the highway.
Not really worth it to pull the engine and repair or even do an engine swap. I"ll keep driving it for a while longer.

192,XXX...I guess it's the slippery slope to 200K....
Took it on a 900 mile trip last month to take my boy and the Scout Troop to camp in Oregon. Managed 12.8 mpg fully loaded down with Scouts and Gear...not too bad for a truck with an engine that was given the death sentence March of 2015...

2001 F-150 4x4 RC SB ORP 5.4 just turned 100,000 miles. Original owner and still loving the truck at 15 years old. No longer my daily driver, assigned to toy hauling duties. Pulls my 7,000 lb travel trailer and 18ft equipment trailer. regularly without a fuss. So far I have had 2 sets of tires installed after wearing out originals, 2 brake jobs, 1 set of shocks, 34 oil changes, 5 trans oil changes, 2 front and rear diff. and transfer case oil changes, replaced all ball joints, tie rod ends, pitman and idler arms, both exhaust manifolds and studs, gas tank straps, and intake manifold. That is the whole maintenance history for 15 years of owning this truck since new! Pretty darn awesome!
