Sound similar... My 01 sport is at 110K and just got shackles a weak ago. Losts more to come... AAL's, TT , BL, 33's and some power adders (intake and maybe some headers and a bigger throttle body).
Here she is...

I've gotta be one of the tops on this one. 264,000. Believe it or not, orig motor, orig trans, and with the b&m shift kit and my sct programmer, it will bark the tires on the 1-2 regardless of how many people, how much stuff, weather, anything.

I did have the heads rebuilt 10k ago.

It is not quite perfect however. The lifter bores are worn out, so the lifters will tap slightly, even though the lifters are new and 1.7 roler rockers are installed. It doesn't burn much oil either. less than 1/2 qt between oil changes. No rust and its been in michigan for 10 yrs. Both axles have been totally rebuilt, new tcase.

I have put so much money into my mountaineer it makes me sick

4R70W trans is a great unit. I wish the V6 exps had them. Ford would have had a lot of happy customers.

agreed.
only reason I had to get mine rebuilt was due to water getting into it.
it's the same transmission used behind (some) F150's.
so it's more than strong enough for a Sploder.

I rode her good and hard for 3 years. oh wait, you mean my X, not my ex. My Xplodr has 144k I think. haven't been in her for almost 2 weeks because of work

[beto62]

[zonianbrat]

1998 XLT with 100,100 on the odo. About to switch to Synthetic Tranny fluid to try and prolong life.

 

[Texan01]

I've got 233,000 miles on my '95. Tranny lost 2nd gear at 220k, put more radiators and heater cores in it more than anything else. I did replace the factory starter at 225k and the leather seats at 228k, Factory on everything else except ball joints and shocks.
