High mileage owners please check in

This thread makes my heart happy. I hope to get high miles out of my Gen 2, but I have a feeling the body may outlast the powertrain, reverse of the Gen 1.

Yeah, I think the highest Gen 2 I saw on the high mileage Gen 2 was over 180k! (With a cam phaser or two, LOL) no offense of course

Yeah, you still cannot convince me that a boosted V-6 in a heavy package like the Raptor is good for long term reliability. 180k and had to have major work to the engine just reinforces my beliefs.

I can’t say I’ve ever seen any high output turbocharged engine have any longevity, but with the new engine designs time will tell the tale. It always seems that to have HO on an engine, regardless of cylinder count, it shortens it’s life span, but that makes sense as it has more things that can go wrong. I just hope I can hit 300k before anything bad happens.

To add on to that, a “nascar engine” can last around 2-3 race weekends where as if you limit the rpm the engine can last to something crazy like 300,000miles.

There was a pretty good article in a mustang magazine back a few years ago where Matt snow (snow performance) bought a nascar engine for his fox body and went through the details.

I would love to read that report on his thoughts on the details. A Nascar engine in a Raptor would be an absoulte BEAST!!

Found the Motertrend article! Sounds like he had a blast on the journey to get that up and running. I used to be a gear head in high school and I really miss it somedays but with advancements in modern tech, it kinda seems pointless when a modern minivan can smoke your old high school project. We thought we were hot shit getting low 13s high 12s in clapped out mustang in the quarter mile in the early 90s. https://www.motortrend.com/features/m5lp-1101-1993-ford-mustang-cobra/

Anecdotal numbers are meaningless; there are millions of EcoBoost trucks on the road that have racked up hundreds of thousands of miles with no major work.

I suppose we could get into the countless 6.2 seized lash adjusters and broken valve springs before 150k miles, but once again that’s a small percentage of the entire population.

Yeah we have some trucks come in with less than 300 miles with failed lifters etc. ehh it is what it is. Lol ill be happy if mine lasts till it paid off so i can afford to fix it

Edit: i also work at chevy for context lol
