I gave my red 1980 F100 away to one of former owners in June of 2003. It had just over 372,000 miles on it. I bought it in 1999 with 350,000 on it. Didn't smoke or burn oil. It did have couple of leaks though. The distributor was froze, so couldn't time it. I had to do minor work to it to get it on the road. The new owner had to retire it after a hail storm though. No more winshield.

I was the fourth person at where I work to own that same truck.

I bought a " like new" 1996 F150 with just 96,000 on it last June as a replacement. It has 5.8L, let's see how far it goes... different forum too..

Well, either it has 112K on it or 212K on it, no idea, but it runs like a top and I'm proud to have ownership of my Black '87.

 

1984 f150 300i6 with 56,000 original miles. this thing is still a baby.

 

113k in an '82 F150. Just got the truck, paid 300 bucks for it(should be an indication of it's condition) but the engine runs like a champ and no smoke.

 

I've got a 95' f150 that has 365,000 original miles on the engine and I'm just now having to replace the rear main seal. I'm sold on the 300 6cyl. My last one had 275,000 miles when I got rid of it. Good Maintenance will pay for itself.

Hi everyone, new user here. I have a 91 F250 4wd with this inline 6. I am at 242k right now. Still runs great. Use the heck out of this truck. Tows my snowmahines, camper etc. I run synthetics. Motor has never had any major work. Just a water pump and alternator. Oil consumption is nil.

 

Our 95 F-150 is close to 400,000 miles and we are replacing engine now -- it still runs, but not smoothly.........
We've been using 20w50 oil for some time now and it helps considerably

 

i have a 1984 F-150 w/ 280k. Starts up and goes, but has a rod rap when accelerating or under a load. And it has been basically used as a work truck, but has some highway miles too

 

1988 F250 4x4, service history.

200k new injectors, chrome exhaust seats added to fix valve sealing problem. no new valves, no cracks, springs all shimmed 0.020. compression 190 psi +- 2 psi.

I've got a '95 F-150 with only 42k on it. Use it mainly to pull a #5800 trailer which it does with ease ;-) The only reason I bought the truck in 95 with that engine was because my brother had one. He never took care of the engine but it still ran like a champ. (I take care of mine though!!)
