My 1999 3.0 liter has more than 131,000 miles and still runs good. only problem that I have had with the motor is that I blew an oil pan gasket once, but I guess that kind of stuff happens when you ramp your daily driver.

171,XXX. Aparently the motor was rebuilt because it lost a freeze plug(previous owner) and burned up. Runs great.

94' XLT auto tranny

When I drive I tend to drive hard and have never had a real problem. It had a tranny seal problem once, alternator, heater core, radiator, and the usual maintenance items have been replaced.

146,xxx on my 94 splash 4x4. It used to be ford vibrant red...but 2 tours in cali and 1 in hawaii made it just an ugly orange. White now. The biggest problem I had was during the first 5 years, was the pot-metal drivers seat-back release lever...broke one every 1.5-2 years. must be on the 5th one now. 1 new clutch, 1 new radiator (my fault), and then recently got into the engine upgrades from TRS.

Last time I let someone else work on it (Indy), they didn't use a gasket on the T-stat housing. It didn't leak, but one bolt rusted into the manifold real good...so there I was, snapped bolt/snapped easy out, hanging my head at the machine shop while they laughed.

Good Luck;
JR

2wd 94 shortbox regular cab 5spd with 190k. motor, solid as a rock. rest of the truck not so good. it has a broken leaf spring, a cracked wind shield, just replaced the ring and pinion, trans has developed a wine, needs new rotors, needs new shoes, clutch is goin, muffler's gone. not to mention the various body damage. i had one good panel but then my friend backed into it. surprisingly, very little rust considering the lack of attention it has been given and being driven in michigan. would like 4wd and better suspension. that things floaty as heck. needs alotta work. anyone ever convert to 4wd or put a 289 in a ranger?
