I've got a 1992 F150 4.9l I6 with 220+ on the clock. She's a bullet proof truck, period.
I don't see a problem with Ford. Every MFG has their own "black sheep."
Look at the 2.8l V6 that was in the pre-1987 Jeeps.
No one likes those.
I agree with the upkeep of the vehicle. Very important.

I've got a 1992 S10 with the 2.8L 5-Speed with 243,000 miles.
I have a 1997 Ford Escort that cr/pped out on me late last year with 184,000 miles. Engine is prone to throwing a rod or dropping a valve seat, and it did 1 of the 2.
The 1989 Jeep Cherokee that I got to replace the Escort from my brother-in-law has 260,000 miles on it. Past 3 years it has only traveled 7,000 miles so I have done a lot of maintenance to it, and it still needs a bit more as well. If this things takes me to at least 300,000 miles I will be very happy. Will get my monies worth.
It is a nice feeling getting something that barely runs, and now it runs almost flawless. Cold idle is perfect, but once it gets warm it will idle around 1100rpm, so I am hoping that replacing the IAC will help fix that.

Well I finally remembered to get a picture of my mileage..
I've only been driving it for a few days so only a hundred or two are from me but after the tune-up and new battery she one wheel peels (on the 'To-Do List') like she's on ice!
*Note, its shown in Kilometers, but converted is: 222,234 Miles*
