220,000 miles 1996 xlt 4x4

I have not been on this site in quite awhile.
My truck is running great!!!
Just turned over 220,000 miles.
Original engine and transmission.
I am still changing oil every 4,000 miles.
And changing transmission filter and fluid every 50,000 miles.
I have been riding my harley motorcycle alot lately, and the old truck is more for work now during the week.
Best wishes,
Gene

Sweet! I hope my truck makes it that long on original engine/tranny, although the outlook is not so good right now.

thats awesome, those regular oil changed make a difference, I'm really considering synthetic oil, I'm reading alot of good things about theses oils, any one trying them?

What tranny you got?

If you have a lot of mileage I would not put a full synthetic in it. It will pour out of that motor like a faucet it happened to me.

Thanks for the replies.
I have the E4OD trannsmission.
Thru the years I have used valvoline products in the engine and transmission
The filters I use are FRAM.
Thanks
