Thinking about taking a road trip in my Old Ford

[cavibird2005]

So I need to go to Little Rock Arkansas for training (Work). And Im thinking Im going to drive my 1991 F150 the 1,000 Miles one way to get there.

The boss man offered to fly me, but to be completely honest after the flight I took from Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany to Minnesota on a rickity (and LEAKY) C130 hanging from a damn cargo net, I have no intentions of ever leaving the ground again.

So the 150 has just over 148K miles on it any thing I should look at before this kind of road trip? Besides the obvious oil, coolant, trans fluid, air filter, plugs, etc. I drive it daily but less than 2 miles typically from my home to work and back.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tires. U-joints. Get everything greased.

I wouldn't worry about anything too much. I wouldn't hop in my Ranger and go on a long trip, but I just did some major work that I'm still stress-testing.

My 88 B2, I would change the oil and not think twice after that.

Commercial planes are 100 times more comfortable...even in turbulence.

don't waste the gas..just fly. my dad used to go on trips from Michigan to Virginia for work. he'd drive because he was scared to fly..he flew once and never bothered with driving down there again. ( he got a company rental tho)
