1994 F150 4X4 SC long box, 5.8 E4OD and 3.55's. 194000 Kms (120,500 miles). Sadly it leaks a bit from the front seal and puffs blue when I give it gas after a long coast down a hill. E4OD and working fine. I just developed a drip from the steering box. I saw the drip yesterday by the pitman arm so I guess a rebuild or replacement is in my future soon.

Right around 240k or so... truck's in the sig.
I have maintenance records from the PO showing a transmission rebuild, used transfer case, and the usual minor stuff.
After I got it, the "good used transfer case" (that's exactly what it says on the work order) took a digger so I rebuilt a manual one and swapped it in. Also replaced the water pump and timing chain/sprockets, new frictions and cylinders in the rear brakes, new suspension bushings up front (all except shocks), welded a crack in the frame, and also a few other minor things as far as repairs go.
She's been real good to me, as I expect from a 90's Ford truck.

I currently have 188K and change. I bought the truck last April with just turning over 180. Although I drive my truck every day, I just don't drive far. School is 5 or 6 miles and my work is about 11.7 miles away. I do about 170 miles a week.
On a side note, my grandpa has a 1971 F-100 that has over 300K. He's the original owner. Although he doesn't drive it daily like he did a couple years ago, it's still a great running truck. One day last year he took out a ledger (I didn't know he had) that had the dates and mileage of everything he'd done to it and how much he paid for it. From the day he bought it for about $2800 (New) to the last quart of oil he bought for it. Amazing stats!

as far as i am concerned, anything older than the current body style is an "old body style"
people have all sorts of stupid names for these trucks. brick nose, blunt nose, block nose, square nose, smash nose, obs, and then there is the popular 1st generation through 247th generation.
i prefer to call them what they are. 67to72, 73to79, 80to86, 87to91, 92to97.
saves on a lot of confusion.

Hi all,
My 97 Powerstroke F250 2WD with 5 speed has about 240k and runs great.
Will get a new clutch soon and be good for 20 more years.
A new to me 94 f150 4x4 with a 300 6 and a 5 speed has 170 and seems to run good since I fixed the fuel pump ground problem. Time will tell. But it's a clean Va. Truck I brought to Western NY.
