205,000 miles, 99' XLT.

Had the Trannie rebuilt at around 100,000 miles.
Multiple Ball joint replacements
Replaced the plugs & coils at 180,000 miles, first time
the dealer did it (around 80,000 miles, I just bought the truck
and wanted them done).
Second time, I did it, and I'll tell you what, I won't do it again,
what a PITA!!!.
Other than that, she is running good.

i mean theyre great trucks but you cant really expect to buy any older vehicle and not have problems with it. Its just gonna happen.
lets put it this way, my next vehicle will be a ford, and the one after that
122k on the odo (might be 222k, the guy I bought it from seemed like the kind of guy that might F with an odometer lol)
