My 1990 F250 Diesel has 377,000 miles on the original engine/transmission and driveline. Heck, it's even still on the original clutch! Original owner!

It's been retired now since April last year do to body rot, soon to be restored and back in service

I just purchased a 90 with 155,000 on it a week ago and it is running strong. Small areas of rust. But it is still solid.

LOL my Sig says it all. I'm the second owner of my 87 F150 with 300 Straight 6 and C6 when I parked it due to numerous issues it had factory compression as verified by numerous shops and mechanics at 475,000 miles engines never been opened up for any reason. my Current raggedy F150 Extended cab with 300 Straight 6 and E4OD has 250,000 on it and even though everything attached to the engine is screwing up the engine it'self is in damn good condition.

No idea how many miles are on my truck.

Bought it and the dash said 96,xxx. The owners manual service records tells me it's tripped over at least once. So yea, it could have had 196,xxx on it when I bought it or 296,xxx. A couple of months ago I towed a Dodge Neon to Missouri with it then drove it and the empty dolly back home. 32+ hours total in two days.

I've since swapped out that cluster thinking that would fix a couple problems, and it ended up only solving one.

87 with the 300 and 4speed OD manual tranny.

My 93 F350 crewcab (5.8L, 5sp ZF) has over 500K on it, original unopened engine. Yes, I have almost no vaccum lol.

This makes up for the one it replaced where the shaft between the distributor and the oil pump broke and the oil light never came on - at or around 80K.
