    Yah, some real top secret stuff going on at AC-Delco. Well, with some real intense questing he cracked and divulged that they where made in this country, then spilling his guts more he said that they had a few plants down south making filters and batteries. My name is Bond, James Bond.

    Chuck, It's because I slowed down in 2001 and 2002. Last year was over 80,000. I change oil about every 3 weeks.

    You can run the he11 out of an engine as long as you maintain it. I wont consider selling the Super Duty until it has 200,000 on it. I put about 22,000 on a year. Not counting maintenance, that truck will cost me around $360 (paid / est. time owned) per month if I run it to 200,000. That is about the only way you can afford a high dollar truck. If I sell it sooner, it costs me way too much to own it.

    Now, if I'm really lucky, I'll get 10+ years out of it. We'll see...

    Wow! 80,000 in a year, that’s spending time behind the wheel. My 99 F-150 has only 60,000 miles on it.

    My rule, if I by new I will keep it for at least 10 years. I just bought my wife a new Camry, then I gave my wife’s 94 to my daughter. Side note, my daughter bought her first car (89 Camry) and insurance with her own money.
