Default Problem free thread

After reading a bunch of threads about our trucks with all sorts of problems, I decided to make a thread for all of us who's trucks are running in tip top shape!!

I'll start

I have an 05 f150 lariat screw with 141,000 miles I'm the second owner and it runs great! I love it more everytime I drive it!! Had to put in a rebuilt transmission about 10k ago but other than that no complaints here!!

Who else is runnin problem free?

Awesome!! Have you done your plugs? I'm about to do mine, I just sea foamed through the brake booster and it didn't smoke too much, so I'm hoping that means its fairly clean and hopefully won't have any problems with the plugs!

This is my 2nd F-150; had a 2005 Lariat 4x4 that I sold at 85K miles with zero issues. Now rolling a 2007 FX4 with just over 40K miles and again no issues whatsoever - never been to the shop for anything.

In fact; I still run the factory battery and should probably count on swapping it out for an Optima or Interstate very soon.

Default runnin' good

Bought my 07 fx4 in '09 w/ 75k miles on it. Bout to hit 150k and have done nothing but general maintenance.... except for replacing tire pressure sensors... and a new ranch hand bumper after rear ending a poor little Mitsubishi Galant.. Trucks runs great! Plan on getting another 100k out of it. Is that a little too optomistic?

Mine runs like a top. Ive replaced normal wear items but thats about it. It does have an exhaust manifold leak but thats more of an annoyance.
