If he keeps a tight maintenance schedule, I see no reason to make it to a million miles!



Congrats sir!

Gee, I feel humbled. I only have 260K on my '01 Excursion V10. I was going for 300K, but I guess that's not much to shoot for !!

Only engine work is 1 set of spark plugs, one power steering pump hose. That's it.

I have 173k on mine now, runs like a champ....consistantly getting 14-15 mpg on freeway, just had oil changed. I found out somethign from my ford dealership, they have done spark plugs on these trucks for years and only one case where the spark plug blew out of the cylinder.
