I know there are a few around. Post up your model, year, motor, mileage, and any repairs you may had or have to do. We can use this thread for high-mileage maintenance help and what not..

whyxitx · March 14th, 2011, 11:27 PM

2001, v6, 3.8 L, with 120,xxx. Only repairs i've had to do (knock on wood) is the exhaust manifold cracking from the ac. Other then that i've had my front bumper broken, and i need to replace my headlight nose panel.

2000 GT vert, 112,000. Need to replace a/c pulley, rock chip touch up paint, and the roof leaks like a bitch so I should PROBABLY fix that. Runs like a champ but when I WOT my transmission, or something, sounds like it has hundreds of metal shards flying around...if that makes sense.

KevinJ99GT · March 14th, 2011, 11:44 PM

99Gt auto, 126,000 only problem was a few coil packs took a dump on me.

oldfox · March 15th, 2011, 01:40 AM

1991 Fox this car started out as a 4 banger LX. Been my daily driver for years.
Now has a 306 with a kenne Bell supercharger, 249,000 Mi.
Has a lot of do it yourself mods, Soon to have a 6-71 supercharger

2004 seats front and rear --Fit perfect no gaps in the rear seats
T-5 with an old school Hurst ---4 point roll bar

sorry didn't mean to hog the thread --just couldn't help myself

106k

Rich J · March 15th, 2011, 02:31 AM

105k on the clock. Just had to replace both exhaust manifolds, one was from the dreaded a/c leak on the flange. And the other JUST broke at the flange the other day. And also just had to replace both ball joints within the last 6 months. Both of those I would consider pretty general maintenance on these cars. Ball joints go out eventually and apparently so do exhaust manifolds.

Other than that everything works fine. The other day I thought my tranny slipped in 2nd gear but I noticed it was because I had the heat on....

NoColoradoGT · March 15th, 2011, 02:39 AM

104,987 on the clock right now.

She runs great! I need new brake pads soon (mine are so squeaky they're embarrassing) and the Tranny shifts slightly notchy into Overdrive out of 3rd, but it's not bad or anything. 1-2 and 2-3 are butter for a 105k mile 4r70w.

SAGE · March 16th, 2011, 08:16 PM

95 GT had 156,000 before I pulled the motor out. Just basic maintenance and an idle surge, but the idle surge only started after I modded it.

xsoulscarz53x · March 19th, 2011, 03:45 PM

2000 v6 mustang 121,xxx miles

fuel filer neck because my car was up north with a previous owner, i think the temperature was a big part in rusting this out and caused leaks when i pump since there was a small hole in the neck so i had to replace it when i found out it was happening

water pump-that was definitly a scary one seeing my car not shift correctly due to extremly hot temperatures of the engine and seeing the temperature of the engine literally just pass the red line and not have engine damage

Serlin · March 19th, 2011, 04:48 PM

almost... About 97k, and still driving it like I stole it!

No problems what so ever. Every nickle I put into it has been for mods, not repairs, other than normal maintenance!

mcqueen · March 21st, 2011, 04:17 AM

2000 V6. 108,xxx.

It gets the normal maintenance (spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, brake pads, etc). Had to replace 1 of the front calipers (I'll be replacing the other as well, previous owner fucked them up), 2 brake lines, alternator, battery and that's really about it. I need to replace the ball joints, but I'll be upgrading to Steeda X2 so I'm calling it more of a mod than a fix

It also desperately needs to be repainted (peeling badly) but it's going to cost what the car is worth to repaint it

01Sportchic · March 21st, 2011, 08:31 AM

1997 Turbocharged Cobra. Odometer stopped at 136,000 miles about 2 1/2 years ago...I'm guessing it's got about 170,000-175,000 miles now.

As far as 'general' maintenance goes, the transmission has been rebuilt, motor mounts replaced and timing chains, guides and tensioners broke, so had to be replaced (apparently a common problem)...

I am pretty anal retentive when it comes to maintenance, so I change my oil about every other month or every 2500-3000 miles...check my plugs and fluids often, and do a coolant flush at least 1-2 times/year. I've had the car since 2007, so I'm not sure of the care it had before me...but I've only had to change the battery once. Haven't really had to replace anything else that i can think of...all of my suspension is aftermarket so I don't think that counts. lol

OH almost forgot...in the process of ordering a new horn and driver side door hinges...door is sagging...She's getting old! lol

lolStang · March 21st, 2011, 08:54 AM

2000 GT 164,xxx miles...

Only thing that has gone is the Notorious plastic coolant crossover

other than that the car goes though plenty abuse and runs strong!

tinkerbell_too · March 21st, 2011, 03:31 PM

2003 GT; 113,000 miles. Haven't really had anything break on me except normal things like the battery and alternator (knock on wood). Oh yeah, I did have a spark plug blow out of the head

but that's it...I think one of my coils might be bad now, will be assessing this week.
