Average life exspency from ford 6.8 v10?
I just bought a 2000 ford f250 4x4 with the v10. It has 166k miles with new heads. Motor uses a little oil bit runs good. Guy just put a new 5 speed tranny in it 50k miles ago. It has 430 rearend and a new frony wheel bearings. I paid 2500 for this truck did I do pretty good?
Car engines can easily last 300,000, with proper maintenance and repair. If it is already burning/using oil, it will probably not make it to 200,000 without serious maintenance issues.
Personally, you need to start a car fund, to save toward repairs/replacement of the vehicle. $100/week, in 2 years, you'll have $10,000 and able to replace it without borrowing funds, about the time the truck starts breaking and needing a lot of repairs.
- What is a typical life mileage I ll get on the engine for a 2013 Ford Taurus? I'm looking at a 2013 Ford Taurus very nice luxury car my question is what do you think the life expectancy on the engine is for that I've heard around 200,000 miles. I have a 2000 F2 50 and it's got over 200,000 miles and they say it ll go for 500,000 Plus… So my question is will the fusion last just as long and is $15,000 it worth buying?
- Should Ford motor company sue Christine Ford for $1B and garnish her wages for life? I mean their good name will forever more be associated with unreliability. Instead of "Ford Tough" they'll be known as "Ford Flake".

- What is the reasonable life expectancy of my Ford Mustang? I have a 2006 ford mustang gt convertible. I love it and it is in wonderful condition. I'm at 126k miles and I'm thinking about dropping in a factory style nav system. This will cost me 1000k. This will give me all the modern stuff, back up camera, bluetooth, ect. Should I dump this kind of money in this car? I work in the oil field so buying a car at this moment is out of the question. You think I could take the mileage to 300k?
