hey guys, just bought my first full size truck truck its a 95 f 150. got it for 600 bucks with new 31's on it and a blown trans. i put a trans and cluch it in brought me up to a grand and i have to say i love this truck. it rides like a caddie and it has 250,000 miles on it. and everything works no clunks bangs nothing while drive very quite and smooth ride and i just cant get over how many miles are on this truck and it still ride like this. so i wanted to see how many miles you guy have on your truck and how they ride?

 

congrats! 200k on mine and love it........

 

'92 F150 Supercab 4x2 XLT SWB 302 E40D.

221,000 mi & strong as Bears Breath.

 

Mine has almost 275k and runs as good as ever. It does leak a little oil though.

 

My DD '94 has 106K on it and runs like a champ. As far as I know, every major mechanical part is original. I bought a '95 for a body donor and it has 217K on it, and after i threw a new battery, starter and solenoid it it it runs fairly well other than cranking pretty eccessively to start. It leaks a good bit too. Our '85 dump has 29K on origianl everything other than the clutch. The original owner was a friend of ours and despite a good effort, really couldn't drive a stick. My '77 has 98k on it, but the original engine is long gone. My dad regrets swapping it out instead of rebuilding, and insists the truck ran for over a year with little or no oil pressure. He also says he could have screwed up and should've just put a new oil pressure sender in it first.

 

93 F350 crewcab, rides as one would expect (soft front, very stiff rear), 518K-ish miles, leaks everything "a little", daily driver until the exhaust system fell off last week. In fact, I'm inside taking a break from measuring. Brrrrrr.

 

Dang I only have 169k on the 90 F250 4x4 I just got for $700... aside from the creature comforts of a newer truck.. I don't see why anyone would spend the $$.. I love this thing.

 

I had 300K and change on my 92 i6 before it went down the road... Got to rusty and was a bear to work on after everything starts to fall apart from rust (dang iowa winters needing all that salt!). I have 230k on my 88 f-250 with ZF 5spd that is my daily driver now... little rougher ride than the F-150's though! congrats on the new truck! how cold is jersey Frederic???? iowa has been 5F to -6F lately...

 

It's 21 degrees where I am minus whatever the windchill factor is. Anything below 50 feels cold to me so it's freezing

Drivwfo - the vast mileage I got out of this one (so far) makes up for the '81 crewcab I had before it that barely made it 90K before I gave up on it as a 'daily driver' and turned into one big "mud toy" and bought this one.

 

i have 155k on my truck and it still looks great and runs flawless, but its still a baby compared some other truck's mileage.
92 f150 i6

 

I feel for all you guys with the cold.. as a PA transplant to SoCal about 10 yrs ago I can say I don't miss it.. It was 75+ this weekend and I think the coldest I have seen it lately was 47 when I left for work this morning.
As for the daily driver part, my work commute is only 2.5 miles each way so I think I will manage just fine with the F250..even with the 460.. I have to get some pics up eventually..

 

as redneck as this may sound i would miss hunting and bumper sledding if I left Iowa... Others can keep their 75 degree weather... I'd rather have the seasons change and have some fun in the snow!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not too sure how many Old Rusty has on him. Know it turned over at least once, Showed between 40 -45thou when I bought him. Title said between 50 -55thou. Know it didn't go down. Other thing is after I bought it the guy told me it had a new Jasper longblock about 40 - 45thou ago. No paperwork ( " Lost in a divorce " ). Haven't gotten energetic enough to look under him for the tag on the engine it should have IF it really is a Jasper. Regardless, runs great. Just took it on a road trip last week, about 300 miles round trip. 14.7 MPG with a 302 / E4OD & 3.55 gears ( if they are original. One problem with buying used, no knowledge of the history. ). Tach showed about 2,000 at 70 MPH in OD.

 

Yeah, it's cold here but not as cold as Iowa, that's for sure. I've been out that way in the winter... brrrrrrr

Nothing wrong with "redneck". Just because I wore a business suit every day for 20 years doesn't mean I left the cowboy boots at home even though I'm not from texas.

It's all good.

 

I have a 1996 F-150 5.0L V8 with 91k on it. She runs like a champ and I haven't had any problems with it since I got her.
