99 Eddie Bauer 175k miles. 5.4 4x4 4r100. Bought it with 160k miles and a severly knocking engine because previous owner neglected to put oil in it. Got a used 5.4 pi from a 99 f150 that had been totaled with 89k miles. so far ive replaced the plugs, subwoofer, and starter. I thought my new engine was using oil but i discovered the high pressure oil cooler line has a slow leak only when the engine is running. will fix that soon. just chopped off my stock muffler and put on a flowmaster super 44 series tonight, sounds amazing. i noticed there is 4 catalytic converters a resonator and a muffler?! wtf is it just me or does this seem like overkill and restrictive?

New to me today, 1998

200K and seemingly in good shape, bought from a mechanic. Told me a lady left it with them after a spark plug blow out. Chipped, Custom Exhaust, KN intake...so forth. I have been enjoying learning about my new rig.

No major engine issues on my 2005, but I did have to replace the tranny at 93k. . . .I am at 103k now and the engine and replacement tranny are going strong.

98 EB with 298,725 miles. Gonna take a picture of the odometer when it turns 300,000. No major problems to date. Just had a tune up and some minor repairs. I think I ought to change the oil more regularly. Gotta have the tranny fluids changed soon. The heater core failed a couple of years ago so I've been without heat but that's on my bucket list.

Bought it in April 2014 with 154k miles. Now has 163k miles.
Original engine & trans as far as I know. Seems to run well.
Gets about 15-16 mpg on the expressway (up/down hills). Nice, level road puts me at about 18ish IIRC..
