Congratulations. I'm about to hit 200k ( bought it new). Always good to hear that it may go another 100k, especially with the price of the new rigs.

I just bought a 95 Club Wagon, ith the original, un-rebuilt V8 with 232,500! It's in mint condition, and the motor just hums! Apart from a nagging electrical problem with the dome lights, this thing is perfect! Thank God for the occasional American pride in workmanship surprise: this is a good at my old '59 VW Beetle....

I just hit 262,000 on my 88 EB Bronco, 302. Still the original engine and transmission. Burns a little oil but still runs good. These old push-rod engines just don't seem to want to quit.

I have 355,000km on my 93 and it still runs great. It doesn't like regular gas though. I am getting 21.6 mpg(canadian) to date.

Was wondering what if anything special you did to get such a long life. Like synthetics or the like.
Thanks

94, 261k 4.9 with origional shortblock, I had the head rebuilt at 180k due to the fact that I burned out 5 of the valves. Lifter clacks pretty loud at times.
