I HAVE A 2002 F250 V10 WITH 395,000 MILES ON IT.NO MAJOR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WORK HAS EVER BEEN DONE ON IT-PERIOD!!IN ADDITION,I HAVE PULLED A HEAVY AIRSTREAM WITH IT ALL OVER THE USA-FROM COAST TO COAST & MANY,MANY PLACES IN BETWEEN.THIS THING JUST ROARS!I LOVE TO BEAR DOWN INTERSTATE 10 WEST OF SAN ANTONIO & ALL THRU THE HILL COUNTRY IN TEXAS.IT WOULD BE NICE THOUGH, IF I COULD HAVE ALL THAT GAS MONEY BACK!I PLAN TO REBUILD AS NEEDED-BUT WHO KNOWS HOW FAR IT WILL GO???

 

I had an 02 v10 cc sb 4x4 for a little while that was an ex state truck with 293k and ran great. Gas was so high that I ended up selling it cheap, also hated how the v10 sounded with a throaty exhaust on it. Now that I have another super duty with the 5.4 I'm missing the big 6.8

 

Well, this is encouraging to me, as my 2002 v10 only has 138,000 miles on it. Apparently it has a whole lot of life left?

 

I'd be interested to see how many miles you can get out of it before a rebuild. It you do used oil analysis on a fairly regular basis you may be able to catch a potential issue before the engine would have a failure. The transmission would be more of a concern to me.

My 04' only has 76,500 on it and I hope I'll be able to get even half those miles out of the original engine and trans. My dad just traded in his 03' with 128,500 on it for a 6.2l, he misses his old truck.

 

we love these reports....please tell...I guess your the original owner...how often do you change your fluids and with what....thanks
