Brian,
That is a lot of miles.The way you take care of your truck it will keep going for a long time. I have 86,300 on my 2002 F350. I certainly hope to get alot of miles on my 2002. Have you used Delo to rack up these miles? I am using Delo, my 7.3 seems to like Delo.
On my 3rd set of batteries

Hey congrats! That's a lot of diesel fuel and fun driving time I'll bet. I'm very close to 100K.
I anticipated after retiring I'd get to drive my truck all over America.....outrageous diesel fuel prices have but all but canceled that idea!
I'm just like you.....I HATE LEAKS TOO!

Delo is all that I have ever used, and all that I will use in the future.

We only do a couple of cookoffs a year now, but we were gone every weekend a few years ago.

Brandon,
Thanks for the Delo tip, makes me feel better since I am using it also. I must say your stock trans has held up well, hope mine will too. How often are you changing the fluid/filter and what type of fluid are you using?
Thanks
Bill

Bill, I have my pan dropped, and the pickup foot and screens changed once a year. (about every 30K) I use a local tranny shop, and they use a Mercon V rated tranny fluid. I think it is Valvoline Maxx Life. While they are under there I have both differentials and the transfer case serviced.

Ignore the service intervals and you will end up on the side of the road someday.

Brandon,
So far I have been doing my 4R100 service every 30,000 miles with the Mercon V and new filter at a family owned transmision shop. Hopefully, this will keep my transmission going strong like yours. I have 86000 and change on my truck and I will be getting the trans service front/rear diff at the same time also in the near future.
