Had a 4.9L in my 79 F150 with a 182K on it when I sold it, an 1987 F-150 with 4.9L with 195K on it when I sold it never inside either motor. Local UPS guy told me that UPS run them in the brown vans and put 250 k with 0 to damn few issues on them and just replaced them with a new crate motor, just a maintenance std. Neither used much oil either. My 95 Tacoma I bought in 04 had 76 k on with a 5 spd and 2.7L 4 cyl it has 244K now still runs fine and uses no oil but needs a clutch. I like Fords but Toyotas operate in a league of their own. MB

Curious what they quoted you on cam phasers, last I read it was about a $1k repair. I'm only at 108k on my '10 3V 5.4. An uncle has an '01 2V 5.4 with over 320k miles on it and nothing else other than regular maintenance.

Had a 1976 F250 with a 300-6. It had 180,000 when I bought it and I put on another 130,000. I did rebuild the motor at around 225,000 and found it had 30 over pistons already. I had to go to 60 over. It was still going strong when I traded it in on a brand new 1990 Mazda B2600I. I ended up with 251,000 on it, and still on the original clutch. It was running great also. My current rig, a 1995 F350 7.3 diesel, I plan to drive till until one of us wears out. Its at 198,000 right now.

An uncle has an '01 2V 5.4 with over 320k miles on it and nothing else other than regular maintenance. Owner of the shop guessed, but said parts alone were around $1,600, plus cost of labor and that it's a 15-20 hour job. I'm researching now and getting a second opinion tomorrow.

Back in 2000, I bought a 1987 Mack Superliner with a million miles on it. It had never had anything done to the engine. Sold it in 2005 with 1.3 million miles.
The thing smoked like a freight train and would haul ass too. One day an irate motorist called me. He was so pissed off. He said he was following my truck and couldn't see where the hell he was going. I told him that if he didn't like it, maybe he should just pass him. Duhhh. That didn't go over very well, he hung up on me. I guess the guy felt the need to call me up and give me schit. But when I didn't show him any love, he got his feelers hurt.

Probably still runs like a top too. I have 226,000 on my '04 double cab, and it purrs like a kitten. Still like new. My wife's 09 ford escape is the same way. 260,000 on the odometer of that one. Thats the main reason I bought the escape with the duratec engine. They are known for being very durable... Neither of them use a drop of oil within their 5,000 mile oil changes either..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Heck, until very recently, all of mine had over 200K when purchased. When I am done, no one else has a use for them.
