120k on mine, bought it with about 118.5k.
Work done so far in that time:
Oil change
Timing belt
Drive belt
Tensioner & idler pulleys
Spark plugs & wires
Valve cover gasket
PCV valve
5 new tires
Spare tire winch & rim
Right side parking brake cable
Repaired rear brake line
Repaired speedometer wiring (after replacing diff sensor...)
Fixed license plate lights
Front marker light bulbs
Buffed headlight lenses
Both front upper control arms
Exhaust, manifold-back
Wiper blades
Just took it on a 500 mile road trip and it ran perfectly, albeit a bit slow on the return since we were towing a trailer into a strong headwind.

I have a 1988 Ford Ranger 4 wheel dr I bought for $900 10 yrs ago. Today 3/30/16 I just spun off 400 k !!!!! I love this little truck. And with the REAL 4 wh she will walk up walls!
The week I bought this truck 10 years ago.
Today, 10 years later with a Rustoleum Paint job! ( I used a quart and a 3 inch Foam Brush!) The paint job here is already 8 months old and its wearing better than the factory Paint and Ive been in Key Largo for 5 years. Salt Air is rough on an old truck!

at 400,000 miles it Was TIME! In the past 3 months Ive had a lot of work done to it.... Now the clutch started to slip a year ago... and when the Water pump went out recently.. ( The FIRST time anything had gone down on her in 10 years..)... So,... I did all I could to it as far as Money goes
....
Water Pump
Muffler
New radiator
New thermostat
All New hoses & belts
New Clutch
New rear wheel cylinders & shoes
New Brake Booster
New Fuel Reservoir
All Freeze Plugs replaced
Valve Cover Gaskets
Tune up / Plugs - Wires
Oil change
The hardest one was this Fuel Reservoir under the driver side frame. I could not find one to replace the discontinued one from Ford that started to leak bad! Well that is until I found this site!!! I had been using 2 regular in-line fuel filters on the intake and return for a few short trips around town for about 3 weeks. It ran rough and got even worse if it got below a half of tank of gas.
Because of this site I was able to track one down!! Someone actually listed the replacement part number here. Once I had that it was easy!
THANK YOU "Ford Trucks.com !!!!" .... and your very informed members!
You guys saved Me & My Little Old Ranger!!
