anyone have a truck with over 200k and still going?
#16
I'm almost there. Just turned 219k and truck is still running strong with good oil pressure, engine vacuum, and no major leaks. In the past 30k I have replaced the water pump, starter, map sensor, and the alternator on Friday.
The truck has been very reliable and easy to maintain and repair. The truck has no rust, looks good, and I plan to keep it for many more years. The tranny is starting to whine and I plan to replace that with a ZF unit. The price of gas may force me into a car for a DD but I'll keep the truck.
Most of my co-workers newer trucks seem much more expensive to repair and maintain.

Just under 230,000 on my 94 F150 F150 4x4. Bought from the original owner at 120,000.
Original 302 was rebuilt at 222,000, still held 40-50psi of oil pressure all day and ran just fine, but I was looking for more power. Bearings were all still in spec and there was still signs of crosshatching on the cylinder walls, she used approximately 1/2 quart of oild between oil changes, most of that was from small leaks. Shes a built 306 now.
Original E4OD was never touched as far as I know, fluid looked like death at 190,000ish miles so I flushed it and changed the filter. It still shifts smooth and works just fine but I'm swapping it for a ZF5.
Differentials went untouched to 205,000 miles, still worked just fine only opened em up to swap the stock 3:55 gears to 4:10 gears. Original balljoints, tierods, radius arm bushings, and all front ujoints were replaced then as well. They all showed signs of wear but probably would of went a few thousand more miles.
Replaced original fuel pumps at 203,000 because they were getting pretty noisy. still worked all right just didnt want them leaving me stranded.
Original rear driveshaft ujoints and rear brakes were replaced at 175,000 miles.
Stock spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor were replaced at 139,000.
The body's not in terrible shape for spending its entire life stored out doors in Iowa, has the typical Ford cancer on the wheels wells and cab corners.
Been the best damn vehicle I've ever owned, goes everywhere and through anything, pulls anything I put behind it, and hauls anything I put in the back, its never let me down. Plan on driving her another 250,000 miles.
