86 XLT 5.0 4 speed with 255,000 miles. I just put in a 88 motor because the old one threw a rod bearing and I wanted all the serpintine accessories.

 

Well, that makes it easy to last long.
In my case, having a girlfriend 300 miles away is one reason for lots of miles.

BTW, in my case everything happened after 135k -- fuel pump, water pump, rear end, and alternator. None of these were preventable -- they just reached their end of life. The previous owner (WA state government) may have known that the rear axle had problems because they did attempt to take it apart, but broke the pinion shaft bolt instead.

 

198000kms on my 96EB Ticking sound from the #2 cylinder but its been doing that for 2 years now. Going to upgrade to a 351W in the next year, I hope.

 

86,000 on my 79 and sure to be many more!

 

mine has 154000 or 254000 but that really doesnt matter because it doesnt have a motor.

 

'78 XLT w/ 256,731mi, 35x12.5 Mud TA's, lockers, very strong 400, rebuilt everything at least once! However, it all works, CC, A/C, etc. NO RUST! (TX truck) BTW, its "FOR SALE"

 

82' over 500,000 km's, have swapped out engine(351), tranny rebuilt, Diffs swapped out for D60's soon to have 5:13's runnin on 39.5 swawmpers with bead locks. Still runs like the day it rolled of the show room floor which was purchased by my Dad in 82 and i bought it in 90' and still goin.

 

My 79 has 67,000 HARD miles on it. It started life as a ranch rig running up and down crummy roads and hauling hay bales, tack, etc. When I picked it up it had bent pushrods in the 351M engine, so I replaced cam, lifters, pushrods, valve springs, etc. Everything else is pretty much OEM. Every thing I have replaced on it so far has had a Ford Oval stamped on it, lol.

 

490,000 miles, Original engine(good old inline 6) transmission, heck, even the starter is original,

 

i have a 91 S.A. w/ 61000 origional miles

 

My "point" was 100K. I about got rid of it then, I could not afford all of the repairs anymore. But it has been over two years since then, and I just recently made the first repair, replacing the IAC valve. But that was minor. I think that my master cylinder is going out now, but after 15 years I can forgive that. I went over two years without doing anything except maintenance to the Bronc, after a bad month in December of 2001. There is not much left to break now, it's all been replaced!

The motor runs like brand new. No stumbles, no noises, no smoke, dry spark plugs, and it idles so smooth that you can hardly tell that it is running (5.8). I am hoping that my E4OD makes it to 200K. It works fine now.

Keep knocking on wood...

 

My wife's '95 has 358,000 as of the weekend. No major problems just exhaust and front end parts. Original 5.0 starting to tick a bit when the oil is close to change time. Still get 18 mpg.

 

1979, 177k...motor rebuilt at 140k only due to many leaking oil seals, internals were all good, general maintenance and replace 9in w/5 lug d60 when 9in blew up many years ago...daily driven 200 miles a week...allows my 00 f150 to sit around and wait for me to go out of town or tow the jeep to the trails...

mac 'can't beat the old iron' gyvr

 

I bought my 95 in September of 1998 and it had over 80,000 at that time. I have increased that to over 260,000 since then which makes approx. 30,000 per year. I've had some front end work, a couple of serpantine belts, heater core, heater hoses, 2 water pumps, 3 complete brake jobs and a vibration damper replaced. So far, she's still running with no MAJOR problems.

 

1981 Trailer Special with a bit over 85,000 on the frame and trans...just a bit over 4,000 on the new engine though
