miles??
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 17-Oct-00 AT 04:56 PM (EST)[/font][p]Boy I wish I could get a 95 with a $120,000 on it, but just kidding, anyhow 125,000 is ok for a diesle. You do need to check every thing else, trans rear end ect.

yes it is the orig. powerplant,I have gone threw 3 trany rebuilds & 7-8 injector pumps & 4 sets of injectors,plenty of starters.
Ive had it sence high school threw collage & 3 kids.I guess I got lucky with its long term life, I do service my baby every 3000-3500 miles.(lots of oil) Ive also rebuilt the oilpan, it now holds right around 4 1/2 gallons of "Delo 400"15w-40.Also every other oil change I dump In 2 cans of "engine restore".Thats the only thing special I do to her.
Good luck with your FORD may it live long & healthy!

One thing I learned about my glow plugs is NEVER change just 1 or 2 or 3, change them all at the same time, I know its kind of pricy at $8-$10 a plug but this insures that all the plugs have the same amount of cycles on them,also change them with dealer plugs(thay seem to last longer than aftermarket).
The only down side I have had with 1/2 million miles is it burns its fare share of oil,(around 2qts. every 1500-2000 miles) Ya I could get after it with a rebuild. butt why mess with a good thing.
good luck with your FORD!
HAPPY HOLLIDAYS..
