Who Has The Most Mileage?
#81
I only have 152k on mine, two sets of brakes (one got damaged by a bad set of pads that wore thru in about 10k), 1 set of tires (2nd set coming in the next couple weeks), replaced rear shocks (fronts next weekend). trans has a touch of a shudder in it around 45mph going in/out of OD, I know its a matter of time, but turning off OD until I get to 55mph fixes this. truck is in such great shape inside and out despite being in the rust belt around chicago/milwaukee and has been reliable as hell I won't bother getting a new one for some time, gonna pass this off to my oldest boy here in a couple year. bought new in '05, Lariat S-crew 4x4. best vehicle i've ever owned and no plans on selling it, it's worth it to do the trans and even a motor swap if needed.

As of this morning, 618,298 miles on my 2005 F-150 XL w/4.2 V-6. Original owner. I have replaced the windshield(stone hit), 2 front calibers, 2 batteries 2 heater blower fans, 1 a/c compressor, 1 coil pack, 1 rear main seal. Has never had an alignment. Everything else is original to the truck except tires,wires, wipers,bulbs,plugs,filters,fuses and fluids.

Good Ol 4.6
2004 Ford F150 4.6L 2WD, at 123,000 right now. I hope you all don't get angry, my repairs list is long and I have had this truck for the last 50k or so miles. 4 years.
I'll list what all I remember.....
Small Transmission repair, lost overdrive.
One year later, at 90k miles, FULL TRANSMISSION REBUILD. Lost all but 1st gear.
New front calipers due to one ceasing up, thought I had a bad pad so let it go a month and had a ruined rotor which = buying a whole new hub assembly because of this years design....
Replaced the pads all the way around while I was at it.
Sometime before 100k had local tire shop replace upper and lower ball joints. Got new tires soon after as well.
Replaced some coil packs and got new plugs around 100k. Replace fuel filter. Replaced Fuel module or whatever that always craps out on 04's myself.
Barely 20k later, upper ball joints shot again, yes I have a leveling kit, but I think the shop put new ball joints in old upper control arms which I've read doesnt work on this poor design of 04's.
Also, had a coil spring broke at the bottom, very unnoticable but about an inch or more snapped off.
My dad and I replaced Front struts, upper control arm/ball joints, Sway bar links, and I replaced rear shocks the next day. Monroe shocks and Quick struts for front. Napa parts for control arms and sway bar links.
The most recent was at least one of my cats crapping out, real bad rattle didnt luck in and it be a heat shield... did you people realize our trucks have 4 cats?! yeah.. $1500 to replace them all due to nobody making a universal for our front cats is what I was told.
So I had true duals ran with IMCO performance mufflers. At first I didnt like the sound, but its gotta less raspy and its growing on me. I had just a single straight pipe from the cats before. Really sounds like an old street rod sometimes at a cruise speed thru town, love when people whip their head around and then realize its just a shiny F one fiddy!
Just this week I got an edge (Gryphon) tuner from PHP!!
I will be discussing my custom tunes I ordered this week hopefully with them!
So far programmed transmission mode and already smiling, AMAZING DIFFERENCE. but hey I've said enough.
You two dudes with like, 300k and 600k miles, I am amazed

I had 340,000. On my 2001 f150 super crew 2 wheel drive. 5.4 . that truck was amazing. Definitely better engineering , power, longevity, tougher than my 04 . Which has 140k on it. 5.4 lariat 4x4 . I doubt I'll see 200k on my 04. It's lacking power and ticking, and one thing after another .
I doubt I'll ever own a chev or one of those goat head trucks, even though this 04 is seriously a pita .

I have 148k on mine, nothing major has gone wrong with it so for, thank the Lord. All I have done was regular tune ups and I did do a little modification to it.

Odometer reading as of today
In reply to majerus. The suspension is fine. Steering is centered,have very little wheel shake thru steering wheel even at 80 mph. Battery guage just went haywire, It has a little bit of torque converter shudder when first pulling off, but that has been going on for about 40,000 miles. As you can see from the first post to this post I drive a lot of miles a week. It uses about a qt of oil a week, but does not smoke. and my saying is "If it ain't broke,don't fix it"
