500k miles

A new employee that works for my dad has a mid 80's 4 cyl Ranger. The engine has 500,000 miles on it and it's still puttin' along. All that was ever done was a new tranny, a few clutches, and the standard tune-up stuff. It has never been rebuilt and she was a religious user of Slick-50. Just thought I'd share a story of a long-lived Ranger.

My dad's '64 Chevy 1/2 ton is the opposite of that. Just put in its third engine, but everything from the tranny on back has 500,000 miles on it and it's never been touched (still has the factory tranny and diff. oil in it)
