Who is in the 100,000 mile club?

Well, I guess my F 150 is just getting broken in @ 169,000 miles. My biggest challenge has been the rust. Had to replace the rocker panels recently, and the underside has a few minor weak spots, but I neglected her for a few years, and I feel badly about that. "Clifford" still looks pretty good, everything works (except that darn overhead console temp) and I still haven't replaced a single light bulb on this truck. (yes, they all still work!) Planning to keep her for years to come

How about 350,000
All original 2003 f150 xlt triton V8 4.6 l Vin W now at 365,000 blown two plugs back in 04 originals and then today #8 blew out. Other than that She's been running strong and body is just starting to rust. Frame still like new!! Love my girl "Lois" is her name she's going to be in the record books before long.

My 2008 XL 5.4 is about to roll over 140k. Doesnt burn a lick of oil and i still run 5W-20. Ive done a few things to improve the truck, but havent had to do any major work.
I had to replace the power steering pump (showing off for a lady), ball joints, and a vacuum hose.
The rest has been regular 6k mile oil changes and brake changes.
I replaced all 4 shocks with bilstein 4600s last week because the factory ones started to show their age and I installed a Mag-Hytec trans pan a few years ago. Those would be the only "improvements" made.
Gotta love the reliability built into these trucks.

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.

Just this week the oil pan gasket went out. Please see current thread posted by me, I could use a little free advice on the matter.
Excellent truck, btw.

177,000 on the '02 SCrew we bought new in Oct/02. Besides regular maintenance and a few mods, the only big deal was blowing out 3 spark plugs around the 120K mark. I did the Time Certs to those cylinders, still no problems. Glad to hear I've still got alot more miles to go on my truck. I still like the aero years - still the best looking ford street trucks (although these new AL bodied 150's have got me thinking. . . )
