Well, here goes...

I brought my 139,000 mile one owner F150 home Monday. Ive put about 150 miles on her this week. The only issue I can see so far is the dome light doesnt work.

Tomorrow afternoon Im picking up a 6x12 U-Haul trailer. Sunday Im departing Tucson enroute Jonesboro Arkansas. 1400 miles. Ive made this trip many times, its usually a 2 dayer for me, but this time around I think I will take 3.

I have all the maintence records for this truck since it was new. Im confident that it will make the trip with no problems.

Saturday morning Im going offline, hope to report back from Arkansas late Tuesday/early Wednesday.

No dome light!!!???.......and you're going to try a 1400 mile trip????!!!!......

Good thinking on taking an extra day just to be sure. Best of luck and we'll be waiting to hear how it turned out.

Good Luck

Enjoy the trip and take it slow. Replacing you hoses, oil change and bringing a couple of gallons of premix coolant would make the boyscouts shine.

take a set of tools and some power blaster.

make sure the spare can be removed and is not rotted on the top.

take a flashlight, that darn dome light not working.
