How many miles does your 1997-2003 have on it?

i have 147,000 miles on it replaced tires, battery, plugs, and speaking of plugs on my way to work i blew my no. 6 plug out of the plug hole, was not able to repair it myself, took it to a mechanic, fix the the probleme by inserting a coil on the threads and replacing the spark plug also, it also damaged the coil had to replace that to. mecahnic said it is common probelm with aluminin heads.:glare:

97' f-150 XLT 225,150 and still rolling, no oil usage, no leaks. I luv it

I've got 111,152 on mine. Starting to hear a lite knock or pistin slap. not sure.

03 SCrew, 4x4, 24000

Are you sure it's not just the fuel injectors ticking? I've also read that the the 5.4 is a little noisy. Mine has 149,xxx on it now and it has a little knocking when cold but it's been the same since it had 80,xxx on it when I got it. It has not gotten worse.

I have a 98 4x4 screw, 5.4. Bought it in Feb with only 12,985 miles. I currently have about 25K and running strong.
For sale if any is interested. adtalbot430@yahoo.com

2001 with 115,000 miles...and still strong...

99 5.4 4x4 lariat
 

I have 207.000+, have replace altenator, one coil, water pump, plus regular maintence items

1997 F150 4.2 eng. 280,000 klms. New fuel tank, new water pump, 3rd set of tires, 4th set of brakes, (fronts only) not the backs, all new front end, tie rod ends, upper and lower ball joints, starter, alternator, cats, and pretty soon a new exhaust. probably my last Ford. :mad:

117 000 miles and the engine does not leak any fluid.

I have 112K on mine and going strong. Not bad for a 4x4 that spends 85% of it's time off road, the other 15 is spent getting there.....

....too bad my tires won't last that long

97 4.6 auto 62,823

motor 40,000 first motor had piston slap when my grandpa had it. thanks for a warranty

My 98 4x4 with the 4.6 has 117,000 and going strong! I need a 3rd door though, the prior owner claims it fell off a lift and crinkled the door.

heh 97 with the lil bitty engine with bout 50 k on it but the odom says 168ish... and for the record 6cyls suck!

Yea they do suck considering that I have 240,000 miles on a 4.9L and the only thing that went was the water pump, and I have a friend with the same engine that has 476,000 miles on it and still runs good. But yea they do suck.:glare:

1997 4.6 with 169,000. Replaced gas tank, upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, rear u-joint, driver wheel bearing, and alternator. Has knock coming from #8 cylinder(back driver if im mistaken). All this since 140,000 miles, now rear main seal leaks. Its had a rough life, both on the road, and used as farm truck. Hoping to make it last another year and hit 200K, then moving up to 7.3 powerstroke hopefully after college gets done.

I think he's referring to the 4.2L and not the 4.9L. The 4.9L is an awesome engine, ford should never have switced to a V6. :blink:
I've had 2 4.9L trucks that were stone reliable, and that engine has plenty of torque.

4.2L 1990 f150 xl just rolled 171,000 still running strong

'94 W/87,xxx

01 5.4 86000 no problems great truck

2000 4.6 i have 98k on it runs like new no prob with it

98 f-150 4x4 127,000 on the truck, 76,000 on the "new" used engine I bought and installed over thanksgiving break! Runs like never before, I am so happy!

99k, should hit 100000 in the next month or so.

never been happier

Update
 

I'm at 154,000 now, just routine fluid changes and maintenance. Still runs great everything works. Noticed a slight increase in MPG after having the injectors cleaned. More responsive too. Still uses very little oil. Amazing. :thumbsup:

I have a 97 f250 LD 4X4 with 185,000 miles. in the past year I have replaced both front 4X4 CV axels and get about 12 mpg. Also inthe last month I have had some electrical problems the wipers, dome lights, power windows go out and come back I can't find the problem, maybe someone out knows how to fix it if they do I would like to know the fix and it's not the ground. Other than that I love it.

194k v6

97 XLT SC FS...107xxx....still runs great.

1997 Xlt

update
 

Just completed my cross country trip, towing a trailer and a full bed of cargo. Had no problems and burned no oil.
158,500 miles now

Just about to hit 90K Emaculate condition

I have a 1998 4x4 x cab, it has rolled past the 270,000 mile mark. bought from father in law a year ago and had 261,000. He has written in books an time anything was done including fueling, bulbs...everything.
truck has original brakes on rear, on second set of front brakes though.
had rear diff rebuilt at about 202 k. engine uses just about 1 to 1 1/4 of oil in a three k oil change.

I think you hold the mileage record in this thread curtis. Awesome!

I have a '97 with 220K runs great and don't use oil, a rear diff replaced around 217k and new front axles at 218k and a '02 with 88k on it (just bought it haven't even done the first oil change to it yet.)

My 1997 4x4 with the 4.6 has 205,000 miles and still runs great. I did just upgrade to a 2006 Screw needed more room. Keeping the 97 just for fun!

Will it ever die

99hoss, you now hold the record at 314k!!! Damn that's amazing! Do you remember what mileage you were at when you had to do wheel bearings and starter?
Also, what engine do you have?

03 19,000:thumbsup:

97 4.6 V8 with 107,000 and not a single problem yet (knock on wood) but i dont expect any with a ford

I dont remember really it was over 200,000 for the wheels bearings the starter i had rebuilt just because i thought it was bad and it wasn't so i had it rebuilt anyways it turned out to be the a/c compressor bearings seized up and locked up the motor it took me awhile to figure it out until i took off the belt and turned over the motor just wait until you have to buy wheel bearings they are not CHEAP i paid about $400.00 for each

1999 SCab F150 Lariat 4x4

214706.......but fixing to put a new motor in it.

2001 XLT Supercab 2wd has 92,500 on it and running great. Actually I just bought the truck a couple of weeks ago and I am loving it.

115K on 98 XLT 4X4 long bed.

i have a 97 f150 4.6 with 195xxx mile and still going.

my 2000 has about 96k.. but its had 20" rims with lo-pro tires with a smaller overall diameter then stock for yrs... so im guessing 70-80k on the truck

2006 F150
 

I Used one for pumping oil around midland texas, at 50K front hubs went, at 65K transmission was gone, and 70k the bed cracked at the tool box. all under the 100k mile warranty, keep in mind, it was driven hard and run all day through mud, and deep ruts. Ford has been GREAT! always fixed in a timely manner. The truck is equipped with a 50 gallon fuel cell in the bed, a 25 gallon varsol tank with sprayer, a RKI toolbox with oil Centerfuge that weighs at least 125#, large side tool boxes. (basically 1300# of weight). 120K miles and running GREAT! I cant belive this truck is so TOUGH!
