Only 303,xxx miles on her! Get it while you can!

 

just proves what everyone here is saying. check out the color of the coolant though? mine is green. matt

 

My coolant is green, too.

That truck seems a good candidate for that number of miles, though. If it was a construction truck that saw tons of highway miles between Iowa and Texas, that's pretty low wear and tear on the drivetrain.

Glad to see it made it that long. Truck looks to be in pretty good shape overall for the mileage.

 

The overflow tank shows what happens when you don't change your antifreeze. Wonder what the coolant passages look like?

 

The coolant in the tank is Zerex G-O5 its a Dark Yellow color. That is now standard coolant for Ford. MY guess is the cooling system was serviced and flushed by a dealer with G-05.

 

Mine is the color of Mountain Dew...that looks like it's rust stained to me. Maybe it's just me.

 

I hope thats how my truck looks and runs at 300k It doesnt say if it is orig eng. or tranny?

Here an 2001 with 345,000 plus miles on it! Make me feel like a baby with only 67000 on my 2001

 

303,000 and 345,000 miles, and how many miles do you get out of a diesel?

 

i have a question. when you see the new ford pickup commercials touting them having the longest lasting trucks on the road, why do they show brand new vehicles? why not get somebody like these owners to do the talking for them? and not just for V10 powered trucks, but any ford truck with extended miles. these 2 trucks are exceptional examples of fords great work, which of course they fail to promote. just my 2 cents. matt

 

I have thought the same thing, Show the old truck and owner talking to a new owner of a new truck. That would tell the story!

 

not to be a party pooper but ive seen a fwe of 7.3s with over 500k miles ON EBAY

 

Yes and worked hard! I have had well over 300K on most of my diesels before i got rid of them. With a few of them over 400K
That is way it is so impressive to see a gas motor do it! And the thruck that had 345K had a 5th wheel hitch in it so you know it spent most of it life towing!

 

i wish they told if they replaced the engine or tranny or not

 

What kills me is the asking price on the 345,000 mile truck. Buy it now for $10K? What a joke, I bought a 2000 EX with 72000 miles, everything but leather 4x4 for $9500. Why oh why would you pay the same price for a truck with 345k on it. I understand that thats not exactly an apples to apples comparison because of SUV vs pickup, but some owners just think they have a gold mine disguised as a used truck.
