97 EB 5.4
have had a new window regulator, 2 new rims since 2 were cracked, 4 new tires, all new shocks, it needs rear springs, new tierods, new torsion bars that are of a different stiffness, matching rims, probably new seat covers or just new seats and some major de rusting/frame painting!

200,000 miles
Heater core went out at 195,000 and I now have an antifreeze leak that I cannot find...

check your heater tube. it goes from the heater core T under the plenum to the back of the water pump.

2003 eb 5.4

2003 EB 5.4, 147,000 miles. no major problems other than Power Steering Pump replaced, fuse block replaced (due to burned out fuel relay inside block that cannot be replaced individually), driver seat motors froze, Radio/ Nav system replaced due to blank screen, one reverse sensor replaced ($125 each), all 8 spark plugs and coils replaced (one coil went bad- just changed them all) now have a leak in the right rear differential axle shaft seal (still trying to figure out if I can do it myself or have to go to dealer and pay big$$$). I strongly believe this car will run past 200K miles. I'll probably keep it til it dies.
