Hey how many out there are way up there ? My 6.7 is at 272K and going strong. Anyone got any thoughts on higher mileage trucks ? Issues / Problems I should be watching for ?

Thanks

 

Sounds like you are the one to write the book! What year is your truck? What type of duty is it seeing? Pics!

 

2012 F350 CCLB SRW Lariat

280K stock.

 

x2 on the pics! Where's the pics? What have you replaced on the truck besides the obvious wear items??

 

You guys running original transmissions on these trucks? Deleted or spaceship still intact?

 

OK, don't leave us hanging here. We want to hear more...total history!

 

Mostly highway miles, all original/stock. Sputnik still hangs in there...
279,689 mi
5,312 hrs
614 idle
Avg lifetime of 53 mph (60 mph avg w/o idle time)
Oil changed approx 10K intervals

 

Good info. I'm planning on keeping this truck 10 years like the last one.

 

Thanks for the info. Highway miles are best.

 

So is the Command Center suggesting the 10,000 mile oil change intervals or is it still popping up around 7500 like most of the rest of our trucks and you wait until 10,000 miles?

Not judging your change schedule as much as wondering if the Ford computer really take in account hiway vs stop and go driving and change the Oil life minder

Definitely interested in your repair log. Brakes, Calipers, bearings/hubs alternators, water pumps etc. Just what kind of life are we seeing out of those components. On both my 2011 and my 2015 I had to replace a front caliper and both rotors by 70,000 miles and my front hubs were bad on my 2011 by 100,000 miles.

 

Sorry, I bought it used and all I see in the records are the oil changes. That and years of dirt on everything mechanical as original. I don't know the frequency of brakes/rotors/tires etc.

It's a one previous owner, driven 65K miles/ year.

The only pre-sale prep work the dealer did was replace a cracked taillight lens and change the oil.

 

Painted, on my 15, the rotors made it to 58k miles before they became warped to the point that I had pedal flutter stopping at 45 mph or higher. Pads were like new, but replaced them, and the spring sets. The caliper pin was floating freely, and pit free, so I just greased it up well. Still have a bit of flutter, nothing like it was, so I am thinking the rears are warped too. I tow heavy for almost 80% of those miles, but don't remember ever needing to brake hard or often. Hard to believe.

 

My 2015 has 175,000 on it.

New front rotors/pads at 160,000
Exhaust temp sensor 1 failed at 170,000
Batteries went 150,000
Main radiator went 120,000

I think that's it so far for me. She seems to crank longer than normal when starting, don't know what that's about. Maybe the fuel lift pump is weak?


I like seeing 250,000+ being posted up, I'd like to keep mine up to that mark and so far seems possible.

I've seen a picture of someone with over 850k on the original motor.
