Guess it's my turn...

1988 Blue Bronc 351w 177k, purchased in 1997 in Las Vegas from original owner at about 115k if I recall correctly:

Rebuilt engine installed last August
Replaced alternator 3 times
New A/C compressor and evaporator then the clutch went (a/c currently doesn't work)
2 neutral safety switches
Power steering pump and HP hose
New fan clutch (THAT was a spectacular failure)
Replaced tires
Shocks
Heater core
Driver's side window motor
Then the gearset 4 years later
New 4 core radiator
All brake disks and drums +calipers
3 batteries
All front seatbelts
A bunch of door panel fasteners
Upper actuator in ignition replaced twice
TFI module
MAP Sensor
Input Air sensor
EGR valve
Accelerator cable (right in front of AutoZone, how convenient)
Plus a lot of oil, bulbs, filters, and spark plugs.

No rust, currently working on the cosmetic stuff like weatherstripping, etc , and will probably paint the beast this summer. T-case and tranny are original.

And I always have my tools in the back, just in case.

My 1991 XLT with a 5.8 and E4OD tranny just turned 190K today! I bought it over a year ago from original owners ( Ford mechanic ) and have only had to replace the alternator and battery.......very reliable, I love it! Still on original tranny and motor and runs great, has good compression......is a little thirsty....but its a good trade-off for me

Hey all, I have a 78 bronco XLT and just rolled over 168,000. Still goin strong. It has the 400 in it. How good do think that motor is. The only upgrades are a performer intake and Carb. Gas guage works great, but after about 100 miles, goes to E. Do yall think that the sending unit is possibly bad. The 400 was never a gas saver, but I still get about 250 miles to a tank.

Over 400,000 on transmission, but on 4th motor with 30,000 on it . My parents bought it new in 82. Started out with 302 but upgraded to 351w. Still runs strong.

It has a c-6 tranny. Never been rebuilt just fluid and filter changed. Twice that i'm aware of. It never was done when my parents drove it. I've been driving it since 93. It also has the original tranfer case. Never has any problems.

GO FORD!
