How much longer do i have?
I have a 2001 F150 5.4, 2wd..It has 320,000 miles but the engine was replaced about 6 years ago and is leaking oil very slowly. Since then I've had to replace the transmission and most recently the radiator. So I want to know yalls opinion on about how many more miles i could expect to get? Thanks!
There is no limit to the miles it can go if you are willing to dispense the dollars. It will be a matter of when you are done with opening your wallet. I would suggest that you buy a new vehicle when you find a great bargain, but keep driving the existing truck until it dies. The biggest determining factors on vehicle longevity are how it is serviced and how it is driven.
I'd add that it depends upon where the oil is leaking. Some areas could just indicate old gaskets and are not necessarily an engine is about to break problem. On the other hand some leaks indicate a limited time to a major repair.
