Guys I gotta tell ya these mileages are impressive.

Today I drove a rental Dodge Ram 1500 w the Hemi from Cleveland to Mansfield and back which is about an hour each way.

What a nice ride! The power and sound is very strong and I was getting 20mpg on parts of that trip.

Sooo tempting

I hear you.
Buddy has a 2017 F150 Platinum with the 3.5. Thing is NICE.
The new trucks continue to get more and more refined, yet work better and better. It is a tough choice.

187000 on mine and just replaced my first coil pack and had to replace the air idle solenoid.Not bad so far.1998.

I’m going to be changing plugs soon and very nervous after hearing all the horror stories.

That would be way out of my budget unfortunately but I do need to figure out a purchase because Im handing this expy to my son....so Im in the market ... at a time I cant afford it

should be noted that 98 (pretty sure) was the last year for alum intake before a change to plastic that has known failure issues

2001 Expedition XLT. 5.4L now has 405,200 miles. Put in a donated tranny at 205k even though the original was performing fine at the time. The new tranny only had 20,000 miles at installation. The pedal adjustment recently broke but I synced the gas and brake pedal to the floor board and disconnected it for future use. I've had several Blower Motor Resisters installed in the last several years for some reason. Some #7 spark plug and coil pack was replaced last year. Some coil packs are original, but plugs are changed every 100k. I have always used Synthetic motor oil 5w30.

It's too bad about the tranny as it would have been great to see if it could make it without any major repairs. Nonetheless, even if I had to replace a tranny once in 405K miles the truck would get my stamp of approval.

1998 expy xlt with 4.6 and 313,*** miles. Been in family since 2000 and I have it for about a year and half now. Pretty much everything are still original expect for basic maintenance of course. But it's running really rough right now which I started a thread on.

Your truck is in nice shape.

Thank you. I’m proud of how well she’s serving me.
Every time I look at possibly buying something newer I read the forums on the newer generation expys and F-150 and it just brings me back to my ole trusty 1st gen 2v 5.4.

I don’t like VVT on any engine. The chains, tensioner, guides etc are a mess. And I certainly will never buy the turbo v6 on a truck.

If I drove more I would look into a diesel or even the 6.2 v8 gasser I think it is but the prices are ridiculous.

Sooo I just maintain the heck out of the ole gal and save my money.

162k here and many issues involving infamous p0171 and P0174 codes. I love the truck and I have too much into it to get rid of it so as said earlier, as long as it’s not as much as a new car payment or as long as it never leaves me stranded, I will keep it till the wheels fall off which I hope is a long long time

Those codes are most likely just a vacuum leak. Cheap fix, check your PCV hose and grommet and vacuum lines. You can do a smoke test or water bottle test to check for the leak.

2002 Expedition XLT with 4.6L 2WD. Only 169,000k so far. I've had it 2 yrs and 20k miles. Did the ball joints and control arms. Front wheel bearings, fuel pump, oil filter housing gasket, rear wiper motor, new tires, PCV hose and a heater hose. Runs and drives great.
