Hey guys I have a 1992 ford explorer that has 491,000 kms on it. Has anyone gone further?

 

is it all original engine/tranny??

 

wow i think u are doing pretty good.

 

That truck sure doesn't owe you anything! I just recently sold my dad's 94 Astro with 411 on the clock. Engine was all original but the tranny was rebuilt at 295.

My father-in-law had a Ford E-something van owned by a private courier that was in the 500 or 600's.

 

Had 580.000 kl on my 88 F150 orig motor trans & rear end it was a great truck
body was in great shape no holes in body
now have 2004 F150 hope it runs like & lasts like the old one

 

work truck has 483,000 kms it's a 97 f150 with a 4.6 the tranny has been changed but original motor, and exhaust up to the muffler. not too bad a shape less some of the dents that others have put in it

 

yep it does have the original engine and tranny

 

Good to hear boy's. My 95 F150 5.8 has 211 on it and runs like a top with 18 mpg. I hope it will last a long time aswell.

 

Thats deadly man, I have always heard bad things about those explorers, nice to hear a damn good thing!

Most ive had on a vehicle was 485,000 km on a 89 f150 4x4 5 speed 302.

Also had a toyota corola that I sold to a guy with 450,000 km, and last I heard he went over the half million mark.

 

My parents bought a '98 Windstar brand new, and it lasted till year 2004 with 862,000 kms on it. They took very good care of it. Changed the oil and washed it regularily and took care of small mechanical problems right away. I can't remember what did it at the end. Something with the motor. Knowing the van was well taken care of, my uncle bought the van. He bought the engine and trans from a similiar junked van with low mileage and swapped it.

Now my parents have a used 2001 Windstar that had low mileage at the time. It's close to Rob's current explorer mileage now. My parent's cars have been driven cross country a few times. Family in Alberta to New Brunswick.

my 95 F150 4x4 is at 372000 and is still going, still original engine and tranny

 

I have a 2006 f350 that wont go more than 750km without breaking down. Its pretty awsome
