'93 Reg Cab, 8Ft Bed, EFI, E4OD trans, 120,XXX miles. Runs great and still has massive amounts of torque, even with a broken spark plug in the #2 cylinder. Been running it on 5 cylinders for about a month and 400 miles (been driving the other thing, '91 Plymouth Sundance, more since I don't really want to screw up my cat).

Just got my '91 F150 4.9 I6 auto. Yep, it's blue and she's got 154,954 on her. She seems to be doing well so far. My father used to own three of them. One of 'em, an '86 I6, he hauled a trailer for his landscaping business and put on over 250k miles without any major work other than tune-ups before selling her.

1992 F-150, 4x4, 229,000 . A little low on the oil pressure. Time to go to 20w50 I think.

Before switching to 20w50 you might want to check the oil pressure sensor, I removed the 5psi on/off and put in a 7.3 diesel sender and removed the 20 ohm resistor in line so the oil pressure gauge works as a linear measure of oil pressure. I had less oil pressure in winter until I switched from sae30 to synthetic 10-30

My 88' f150 hit 337,131, then the poor guy started knocking horribly. I rebuilt it and now i have 341,209 on it. i hope to hit at least 450,000 before the truck rusts out and i have to put the moter in a newer truck.

Only 76,000 on my 1995 F150. Just a baby! My new job is 140 miles per day so this will go up fast. I'm not worried about reliability with this engine.

1995 F150 Std cab, Long bed, 300-6, E4OD, 3.31 rear axle
