2000 f250 about 103000 and still going i asked the ford dealer a while ago they said they had seen as high as 300000 on their regulars that come in for their tune up
Holy crap - y'all are sitting pretty...
01 Excursion with 138K on it - Bought last year with 114K. This thing runs great.
I change the oil/filter every 5-7k (just about due now).
Maintenance plans:
With winter comming, I plan on changing the anit-freeze (no over heating problems, so I haven't been to awful worried about it).
Also planning a tranny flush.
In the spring, I pull all of the COPs and check/change the plugs.
Other than that, I just plan on driving it with some common sence. I don't forsee any problems with this engine - it runs smooth and consistant.
2000 has 148,000 miles. My #5 cylinder blew a spark plug at 135,000 miles which I repaired with a TimeSert sleeve. Regular maintenance and runs very strong. I pull a 10,000 lb trailer all the time and it does SOOOOO much better than my Expedition. I've added a trans temp guage and secondary trans cooler. One of my front hubs is going out now so I'll be replacing that next week.
