2008 F-250 5 speed manual has 349,000. Have replaced the HPOP and just replaced the clutch. Love her to Death

 

I have a 2012 6.7 all original. Only thing was done was replaced radiator and done a egr delete. Truck is clean no rust and still running strong at 546k. I keep getting told by all mechanics who look at my truck that they never seen anything with this many miles and be so clean. So hopefully I can pull another 500k off of this motor

 

My f150 has 308789 on it right now still pull a house off the blocks but starting to give me trouble.

 

My 2012 6.2l gas F350 has just over 50k on it. GREAT TRUCK!

 

I've got a 2000 F-250 with 187,000 miles on it. The guy who owned it before me was near brain-dead on maintenance though... virtually everything he did was done wrong (noting that I bought it at 100k miles). Mine's got the 5.4L Triton, and 5-speed manual Z5 tranny. What I fixed so far:

• Rear end rebuild at 110k miles ($1100). Previous owner had a leak and never fixed it, ran it dry, "fixed" it in his own garage and didn't get the pinion bearings in correctly ... they wore quickly and whined like crazy after I got it, hence the professional rebuild
• Partial transmission rebuild at 150k miles ($1900). Previous owner had motor oil in it. Motor oil is toooo slick compared to the ATF that this transmission requires (yes, automatic transmission fluid - the manual requires it). The slick motor oil prevents synchros from working as they should, and the guy'd been jamming gears to get it to shift ... end play in the 5th gear synchro was out of spec and grinding when shifting into 5th. Rebuild include new bearings (didn't need them), synchros (only 5th needed one), and otherwise the transmission was like brand new inside. It's got the proper ATF in it now and works great.
• Clutch, clutch master and slave, pilot bearing, throw-out bearing, flywheel turned, and pressure plate replaced at 150k miles (when tranny was rebuilt) ($300). Previous owner had replaced the clutch, but left the original pressure plate and throw-out bearing in place. The pressure plate had bad wear and should've been replaced. I buy into the the "If you're going to drop the tranny ... do it once instead of twice ... replace all clutch related stuff while the thing is off the truck ... cheaper that way" philosophy.
• One tie rod replacement, front end alignment and adjustment of the steering gear play. The guy had the steering gear adjustment all the way out and super sloppy. Drives like new now.
• Leaking power steering pump. Replaced pump.

Otherwise, the truck's just needed normal maintenance. I do have some type of vibration that comes and goes at different speeds and haven't figured that out yet (38 mph and about 53 mph seem to be the worst speeds) and vibrates in 4x4 when going over 40 mph or so (I've been told that's fairly normal?). A couple of lifters clattered when starting on hot (90+) days when I got it, but have gotten progressively quieter over the years - I'm convinced it's due to the cleaning action of the high end (usually Mobil 1) synthetic that I've been using and changing at every 5k miles. I might SeaFoam the fuel and oil this Fall to see if it doesn't quiet things down even more. The truck's been great and has done long hauls (Idaho -> New York -> down south and back up to Idaho) with loads heavy enough to make the truck squat and never hesitated to pound out the miles, heavy or not. Can't complain. Hoping to get 250k miles or more before I swap up to a younger version of the same truck ... something with 60k miles or so, stretch cab, long box, F-250 SuperDuty.

My 2004 F250 with 5.4l has 128k. I bought it in 2015 with 88k on it. This has been the best truck ever.

 

2016 F250. 6.7 PSD. 31,600 miles.

 

Just bought a gas guzzling 2006 F-350, 5.4, XLT Lariat 4x4 with 142,000!

 

My 2015 F350 6.2L gasser is at 42,000 with no signs of giving up.

 

2001 f350 drw, v10, 100k

 

2009 F350 DRW, Rear Drive, 4.10 gear. 80,750 miles

 

 

My 2016 F250 6.7 has 5,000 miles.

 

2002 f250 ssuper, 237k, holy cow some of you have like no miles on your trucks haha... 2000 with 2k miles... what the heck

 

That's what makes this thread fun ... some have a bazillion miles on them, others are old and hardly used. Mine's got 186k miles on it. It's an F-250, 5.4L Triton, standard tranny, 4x4 ... and to keep it going so far:

• New 5th gear (was grinding), syncros in tranny. <-Caused by poor maintenance by prior owner
• Rebuilt rear end <-Caused by poor maintenance by prior owner
• New right-side tie rod (normal maint.)
• New right-front hub w/bearing (normal maint.)

Otherwise, just normal oil, tires, brakes. With 235 highway milers, I got 18.5 mpg. With 265 all-terrain tires, mileage dropped to 15.5 mpg. The motor uses 2/3rds of a quart between changes ... but it always has since I bought it at 100k miles. No leaks.
