i'm at 167,XXX on my 03 and didn't take it off road till it was around 111,000
132,8xx on my 1995. I am driving it around the country right now towing a 2000+# trailer. I would not worry about off-roading. Now you can finally relax. It is all grown up. It looks great by the way.
^ Thats comforting Thanks on the complement too

I baby my truck too much

Artless
Ha I hope someone else took the picture at that speed

I'll be there with you in less than 800 miles. I have mixed emotions. My truck is getting old. :(
I know how you feel

Oh Boy. Look where my head is today, I read Mile High Club and that's not what I was thinking of....
Ha ha

Greg, if i were you i wouldnt run mobil 1. 3.0's have a tendency to leak as it is, and if you arent running an oil filter made for synthetic oil, you arent gaining the full benefit of it. Motorcraft oil and motorcraft frilters are all you need, motorcraft is semi synthetic.

Motorcraft oil and filters have gotten me to 167,700 as of today, and my oil comes out clean and 5qts still come out of it.

I use Motorcraft oil filters and Havoline oil 10W-30. Runs well. Though I liked the K&N oil filter the one time I used it....
