96,000 miles....
in case anybody is interested.
That's where I am on my '05 F150.
I'll turn over 100,000 within the next month.
Problems so far include:
warped rotors (replaced with RotorPros aftermarket rotors.)
That's all.
Nothing else has messed up.

Don't remember exactly the price. Seems like it was about $400 for all four rotors. I got drilled and slotted.
They came from rotorpros.com.
They are Centric blanks that are drilled and slotted by RotorPros.
I think I have Bednix pads on the rear and Motorcraft on the front ('cause I had an extra set from somewhere).
Everything is working fine. I'm happy with it all.

Congrats
Nice Brian,
I remember when you sold the ole model for that fancy new one. I still have my 2003 heritage type, only 35K now, but I have two trucks and I like driving the Bronco II more. No probs to report either.
Nice hearing from you.

I have been way busy with work and other things lately, so my web and FTE time has been a bit limited.
Bumping 98,000 miles now.

i have a 2000 f150 with the 4.2 and just passed 100,000. no complaints at all for the engine. O2 sensor went haywire at 35000 but other than that, flawless. Maybe I'll change the plugs soon. Doesn't seem to need them but it can't hurt.

Now at 102,600.
I get about 17-18 combined city - interstate, and anywhere from 20 -23 on the interstate.
Not very often is all my mileage city, but best I can tell, it's aorund 16-17.
This is about 1-2 mpg better than the 2000.
The 2000 had the 5 speed manual, the '05 is the auto transmission.
Same rear end gear. (3.55)

Brian, thats great MPG! I had a hard time to average over 18 in my 99 F150 with the 4.2, 5speed 3.08 rear gear. I do live up north though so winter really knocks it down. Plus I tow my tent camper about 2000 miles a year and that knocks mpg down to 15while towing.

You have a great truck, wish they were available with supercab and stick shift.
