High mileage owners please check in

So I have 280,315 to go before I Need to worry about problems, good news!

Since you average 3.5 miles per day it will take you 80,090 days, that = 219.4 years.

I feel like I have a high mileage truck compared to yours. Just hit 26,000

Yup that 14 lb steel **** plate first time I heard it was around 90000 drove me crazy trying to find out what it was . Thanks to this form and all the members having the same problem it has a name .

Yup, sounds about right I'll mark my calendar, so I don't forget to start watching for problems!

What's that?

This thing?

Oh I still have mine installed. Like to hit bumps to make sure it’s still there.

How is that thing attached?

I'm glad were aren't seeing any major eletronic issues with these trucks.

If things like BCMs or AIPMs become problematic- long term that kind of stuff could force you to scrap it as they become unavailable. Repairs can only go so far on the new electronic parts. It's not likely to successfully find/replace bad chips on used components anymore, like you sometimes could with the stuff from the late 90s and early 2000s.

Those components are not Raptor-spec, they were standard F-150 parts.

FoMoCo brags that the F-150 has been Americas best selling truck for the last 46 consecutive years.

There's no way replacement parts will disappear with millions of potential customers for every single part on these trucks. I'd bet Dorman will license someone to make them, they already make everything else.

So this happened last week. Now for all the problems to start happening now that it’s broke in.

Great to see high mileage trucks still chugging along.

Im about to hit 214000 k myself

204,5XX checking in, just did an oil change - used Pennzoil Ultra Platinum High Mileage 5W-30. A few friends recommended I switch to that since our weather is relatively warm.

Power steering sounds like I got a supercharger , still got some resistance when I steer all the way to the right whenever I try to "bleed" the PS for the billionth time. Patiently waiting for Swarfworks [GJ motorsports] to bring the power steering upgrade in stock (https://swarfworks.com/2010-2014-f-150-power-steering-reservoir/). Otherwise, might have to flush it out to buy me some time.

Updated pic since I haven't shown a pic of her in a while.

Two bolts through a plastic-rubber bushing. Some cut it out some loosen the bed bolts & raise the bed to get the bolts out . Fords part schematic has it listed as a Transitional Underbody Resonator Dissipater or T.U.R.D. For short .
