that's why they say "50,000mi/5 year" for example.

Well, it was yesterday, not this morning BUT I finally finally changed brake fluid. I don't know why I neglected the old girl, I'm fastidious about it with my motorcycles. It was probably ...gulp original. That said it looked surprisingly good, green but fairly clear, a tiny bit of water and air. What helped a whole bunch is I just picked up a floor jack and jack stands from Harbor Freight. I can really recommend the jack, low profile, less than three inches to over 20". Pumps up very fast and good control on lowering. I know it isn't needed but I wanted to take the wheels off and look things over and change pads. They are probably original too but plenty of meat left after, 170,000 miles. I thought for sure they would be worn down. The rubber lines still look good too. I'm pretty impressed with their brake system.

Traded my truck in 3 weeks ago for a 2011 F150 Ecoboost. Very interesting experience since the 2003 got listed back again at pretty much what I bought it for 2 years ago; http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invento...ting=135728281
Far from ~LIKE NEW~ **Very sharp** condition. Very interesting how trade-ins work, but $8999 ...

Outta curiosity, what did the dealer give you for the truck?

I got $6000 out of it. I bought the truck at $8000 2 years ago or so, did a few things to it to bring it where it is. I think I got away real real real good at $6000 on trade. The things I know about it.
Let's just say me paying $8000 for it 2 years ago was a mistake to what I uncovered rust wise. It's overall awesome truck but not for what I've paid, and now what its at right now.
Whoever gets it, will be happy with 2 extra years it got to it body wise.
