How many miles do you have on your Expy?

01 4.6 87K. No mechanical issues but I have only owned the truck for about 2 months.
My only issue is that cup holder at the back of the center console for the sencod row passengers. It will not stay closed for the life of me. I don't know if it is a problem with the latch or something else. I'll be very happy if that remains my only gripe about the truck.

'99 EB Expy 5.4l 127K now with no issues. Bought it with 55k, change fluids regularly, the only problems I ever had was one coil went bad at 90K ish. Changed the bad coil and all sparkplugs/boots, and replaced both rear axle seals a few weeks ago and thats it so far. Had/still have it since late '03.Bought a SD a few months ago, hope I have the same luck.

Well it's my dad's truck, im only 17 and for some reason am not allowed to get my own truck yet, but he sent it in for tire rotation and an oil change 2 weeks ago and got rid of the oil and filter I put in after only 500 miles. I had spent ~$80 on oil, a filter, and some stabilizer. I also put in the correct amount. Well I checked the other day and there are about 2 quarts of crappy barrel oil and probably a bad filter. Well I drive the truck pretty rough, as if it were mine, I would have put a few extra parts in to give it a little extra acceleration, but since my dad doesn't drive it, he really doesn't realize how bad it is. At 2500RPM, the thing slugs behind other people who aren't pushing their engine, and it is almost unbearable how slow it accelerates. When you put it up around 3-3.5K RPM, it is bearable though. The problem with that is that it produces a lot of extra heat and the thing has bad oil to begin with and not a lot of it. I think I am damaging the truck a good amount, but why should I care, it's not like it's mine...

99 4.6 4x4 84k with tow package and all 3 skid plates. Light towing (under 2k). Limited slip diff. Some off roading w/chains (FUN!!)
replaced 1 exhaust manifold, transfer case (on Ford - from offroading) lots of tie rods, one wheel bearing - Front.
Truck has been great fun, not looking forward to replacing, especially with new design rear suspension.
