92' 2wd, 4.0l 5 speed manual, 182,000 miles.
New a/c compressor, 2 heater cores, 2 batteries, alternator, clutch, u-joints, water pump, thermostat and now a leaking freeze plug. I used barrs leak to fix the freeze plug because she's going up for sale next week. Cream puff but my wife wants a new ride and i'll get my 03' F-250, 7.3L PSD, Crew cab back to drive, lets see 92 exploder or 03 F-250, not a hard decision!!

2000 EB with 152,000 miles. I average 24 mpg on the highway back and forth to work. I travel 180 miles round trip each day about 4 days a week with it. I did have to replace the tranny at 125,000. I run all synthetic oils and fluids in it. After new tranny, syn gear oil up front and back the mileage jumped way up. Lots of little items that have added had to be replaced. It is a nice truck.
