Who is in the 100,000 mile club?
100,000 + club
Today my 2000 Lariat 4WD has 212,431 miles on it. I have had a few issues over the years, but it has been a wonderful truck. I have had a new motor installed at 165,000 miles when a spring broke causing an engine failure.
I keep up on all of the maintainence and enjoy driving it.

Might as well change the plugs while in there. Motorcraft plugs, and, do a search for global automotive and you should find the link to the COP's on ebay. 100$ to your door. Can't beat them!
Hey Thank you !!..

200,000 on 99 F150 5.4L
I just turned over 200K on my truck. I've been using synthetic oil for the life of th truck. First AMSOIL and now Royal Purple. I've had no work whatsoever done to the engine, but it has started to use a little oil.
Been using 5W20. Should I switch to a heavier weight??
Thanks

98 4.6 with 222k
I have my 98 with 222k miles and it has run great until the last 6k. I changed plugs, wires, coil packs, air filter, and pcv . Dealership cleaned throttle body and said that I needed an induction service (which they wanted a lot for) and my plug wires were arcing. Is there an easy way to check for which plug/s are arcing? I thought that for the diagnostic that I paid for, they should tell me which plug has the issue. I have been reading post talking about cleaning the MAF. Could that relate to a good cold start that turns very ragged after 15 minutes whenever I climb a hill or have a load on the engine?
