I loved my 300 six. I sold mine 3 years ago, 85,000 miles,
auto trans, cold AC, new tires. I wanted $2,950 for it.

The first guy to see it said "but the book price is only
$1,600". I said go & try to find a truck like this for that.

The second guy threw the money at me & was very happy.
(it was a very nice truck).

I have like 5 other vehicles to drive... and no free time. So, yeah, 20 mile commute to work is all it gets.

Going down to the Smoky Mountains this summer though, to camp. Will surely pass 200k on the way.

i wouldnt consider a f150 newer than 1996, in 97 they made the lifted cars 96 change a heater core 20 minutes, 1997 and newer 5 hours, i can do plugs wires, cap rotor fuel filter and a oil change in 1 hour, on a 1997 its a all day job.

The reason why american car makers quit inline 6 engines

 

[moneypit]

During cash for clunkers we had one turned in with the straight 6. We drained the oil from it and ran it full throttle for 15min straight it over heated and locked up then we let it cool and it fired back up ran for another 10 before it threw a rod.
