[43]

I can't imagine seeing a 3 as the first of the digits. impressive.

My friends 93 2wd OHV v6 was at about 690,000 last time i saw it, might have hit 700k by now, i'll ask him tomarrow.

its a SOHC, and it runs fantastic. To be fair Ive only owned it a short time and its service history is only word of mouth via the second owner (Im the 3rd)

123k, 12yrs, 10k a year

I bought it in late 99. It was a gently used rental with 20k on it you would have thought it was brand new. The thing has been awesome and I have used it for many roads trips, camping, wheeling and anything that comes its way.

Parts replaced... 1 water pump, intake manifold gasket, valve body rebuild (thanks to the excellent 5r55e diary!) and thats it.

And now I think its time for TT, Shakles and some 31"s

No parts replaced but the stuff that's supposed to wear out.
Only change was adding trailer brake controller.

 

[Phantom4]

2002 4.6L 104,800 miles, approx put 20,000 miles on it so far myself, 3rd owner bought in June 2010

Fixed leaky sunroof, new front upper ball joints, new tires, fixed blend door that fell off, changed all fluids after purchase.

Other than that short list she has been incredible and runs better than most new cars with oil changes and additives and thats about it.

Replace the crankshaft/jack shaft tensioner twice, thermostat housing, one transmission, ball joints, heater core, blower resistor, keyless entry pad, cruise control pads twice, interior carpet and of coarse brakes, rotors and shocks.

I'm shooting for 500k min.

Well after 299,914 miles my water pump died on me. It was not a spectacular death just the front seal was worn out. So I will be changing it tonight and i will continue my quest to get 500k out of the Ex before I get rid of it.
