    2004 F-150 FX4

    ~154,000 miles

    4 wheel bearings replace 2 on each side (1 was manufacture error)
    Driver side CV axle replaced

    Rebuilt transmission @~130,000 probably my own fault. Eclip for overdrive broken somewhere around 98,000 and never replaced it and chewed up the entire case.

    IWE solonoids were replaced when I first bought it for free @76,000

    Other than that it's been normal repairs, brakes, thermostat 2x, fuel filter, belt

    replaced the spark plugs @130,000 I believe 6 out of 8 broke.

    2008 fx2

    ~135,000 mi

    sway bar links recently replaced, which i assume would fall under regular maintenance.

    Spark plug adventure coming very soon so that may bring some issues. Knock on wood i have been very fortunate to this point.
