- It’s back! Mileage update and repair bill update. Added upper control arms and a new pinion seal. Almost at 230k!
Update: just crossed 227k miles. Far as I can tell internals are good to go.
My 2011 f150 with the 3.5 ecoboost and it now has 375,000 miles on it. It’s been an absolute pleasure
Im driving a 2011 f150 3.5. Currently at 154k miles. You inspire me to go the distance with my truck.
I own 2 2013 f150 and I have no issues whatsoever. Love my Ford trucks.
Same a 2011 and 2013 and both have the 3.5 and 4x4. Been bulletproof. We replaced our companies 08 3500 Duramax with the crew cab 2011. BTW we run a landscaping Co. on the Continental divide. I we regularly see 14mpg towing our 20k dump trailer and bed full of tools cab full of men. 19-26mpg unloaded.
I own a 17 f150 2.7 ecoboost with 108,000 miles on it and no problems so far.
I love this truck.
I have a 2016 2.7 that just turned 191,000 miles, recently replaced the rear brake pads and rotors but no issues otherwise at this time.
@@AreaThirteenThirteen nice
I have a 2015 2.7 with 73k . I absolutely love it. Still feels new
2017 3.5 ecoboost just a squeaky belt at 114,000
I have 2011 3.5 that just hit 271,000 miles
My 2011 eco boost is at 267000 and running great! Just needed break work done
Congrats man!! Sounds like a solid truck, I wish that’s all I had to do on mine!
I'm glad to hear that I just bought a 11' with 150k and they say there the worst being first year model
Thanks for the update! I have an 2011 f150 eco with over 90k I know that’s not a lot of miles, but I plan to keep her long and to keep up with the oil changes religiously! 🙂🔧
Absolutely brotha, you do that and she’ll last forever! Hopefully with a fellow first gen you don’t have the bug issues I have. Keep me posted brotha!
Awesome 😎
I have a 2016 ford f150 XLT SuperCrew it has 22,053 Miles when i got it an old man used to drive it so thats why the miles are low! I love the videos
2013 3.5 fx2
122k
Passenger turbo antifreeze fitting
Water pump
rear transmission seal at draft shaft
Tune-up
Driver side engine manifold & gasket
Go to the local Pull Apart and pick up a low mileage rearend. Been several years since I bought one but would probably be cheaper.
Great video! I have a 13 Ecoboost that has left me on the side of the road twice in the last year due to overheating issues. I absolutely love the truck but the constant overheating issues and money spent tracking down the culprit is wearing me out. Have any of y’all ever experienced similar issues? From what I understand from online and RUclips it’s an issue with these trucks.
I would start by looking at your inter cooler and your A/C condenser. They can be damaged from debris coming off the highway and they can get plugged up with dirt, sand and mud.
I bought a 19 3.5 February 2023,40k on it, at 41k tranny issues, several visits back until 1day at 80mph dropped from 10th to 1st!! By by transmission, 1 week later with the truck on the lift with old tranny out, i was told transmission is on back order 45days+, they allowed me to trade it in and they made everything so I didn’t loose down payment or negative equity, purchased a 2020. 3.5 with 45k on it , 13 hrs after i drove it off the lot iwe’s or whatever they’re called went bad screeching, banging from the front wheels! I have 100k warranty on it, after that I can’t wait to dump this thing and go get a tundra or titan, sure ill loose money on extra gas but at least ill have a truck i know will last 2-300k plus miles without falling apart or having things go out all the time!
Dadgum brother that sucks! You’re smart though and got out now lol I’ve decided $10k dropped into a 232k mile truck that’s over 10 years old is somehow worth it 😂
I'm at 150k but I change my diff fluid every 50k miles, same with all of the gear oils and transmission. Engine oil every 5k with mobile 1 synthetic. I also just flushed the coolant for the first time at 150k miles and 10 years of ownership. Biggest issue I've had is the sunroof which cost me $2k. I will never have another vehicle with a sunroof.
What happened to Moon roof
@@oldschoolrunescape-demonan2015 a lot of the mechanisms are made with plastic and it broke in the open position.
I own a 2013 so far okay other than proper maintenance. Do you put a lot of stress on the rear differential?
Not at all man. I don’t haul trailers much and I don’t race or off-road much either. Just one of those things unfortunately
Question… would you buy a 15-16 F150 KR or Plat… w/140-160k miles? I’m looking to purchase a good used truck. I don’t know how much life/ miles these 3.5 7:31 can hold!!!
King Ranch for sure, but I’ve always loved that trim package. Be careful though because in my experience the higher the trim the more potential issues via electrical problems can pop up. I’ve had two Lariats and both had their severe issues while my XLT had virtually none. Just my theory on the matter but a KR at 140k being a 2016 I’d buy in a heartbeat. I’d go 16 over 15 because 15 is the new body year and may have some underlying bugs not worked out
Great vid! I have a 2014 F150 ecoboost with 153k miles... any suggestions or things to watch out for to make her last?
Keep that ‘14 lol. Man I tell you this early model ‘12 has been a nightmare (every bug imaginable has come up and then some). From turbos, to coolant lines, to flex plates (flywheels), to starters, to pinion seals, to transfer cases, batteries, headlights, even the steering wheel volume/skip controls now.
It’s a “good” truck, never quit on me. It’s not a lemon it’s more like a grapefruit. Won’t quit but it costs you a lot getting there.
Keeping that 14 means you’ve got a lot of those bugs worked out. Upgraded billets, turbos, lines and gear ratios. Better dash equipment too (electronics). 153k ain’t nothing for these trucks!
Brother, oil changes like a religious man attends church on Sunday’s. Never skip this and always do it BEFORE it reaches 45%. These high pressure turbo systems abuse oil so it needs good fresh oil 24/7.
Every 50k miles check all fluids from rear diff to transfer case to transmission. I think that’s why this truck still runs despite all its efforts not to. I keep up on general maintenance religiously. Thanks for watching bro!
I have a Ford flex with the EcoBoost...and we have 227k on it...only needed a carbon cleaning.
That’s awesome!! Keep that thing running until 300k😎
@@jsc2395 ...that's the goal...gonna get another 2015 flex to take some of the load off....most underrated car on road to me.
Got a 2013 f1titty platinum 3.5 eco boom . Michigan truck with 400 thousand miles all original. Starts and works everyday still purrs like a kitten....
Drill a 1/16 hole in intercooler and forgetaboutit!!
Mine is a '11 with 140k. Only problem so far is hard shift into 2nd when cold. When should I change Tranny Fluid and filter? Should I flush it first? Thanks. PS. I restored a 1971 F250 w/ 390.
I replaced my valve body and that got rid of my hard shift to 2nd. Transgo makes a shift kit for the 6R80 valve body. But hard shift is caused by wear in accumulator valve. I drain and fill with new filter every 30-35k miles on transmission.
Trans and diff fluids I’d run every 50k-75k, if you’re at 140k now and never done it yourself yet, I would just to be safe. These machines live or die by the fluid so religious changing is essential.
That shift is likely nothing, same issue with my truck, never had a trans drop or anything like that
I have a 2014 eco 205000. Miles no issues
Wow nice ! Any tips ?
I was just thinking about your channel!
Sorry the truck is making you figure all of this stuff out before we have to! 😅
No worries bro lol 😂 at this point I’m thinking I’ve been sent to warn others of what “could go wrong” but hopefully doesn’t happen to y’all. How’s yours holding up?
@@jsc2395 haha! It’s interesting you haven’t had to deal with the water pump yet.
I have a smell of coolant and loosing coolant consistently somewhere that I can’t figure out. Possibly could be water pump, which blows but I know these are notorious for it.
I’m at 150k now, I’m replacing smaller stuff every couple months which is fine, I like doing it as long as it’s not way over my head.
@@chrisc9572 honestly bro everything from intercooler to pumps to chains I’ve had no issues with. It’s literally EVERYTHING else that could go wrong, has gone wrong. I mean for real, who on earth replaces chipped fly wheels in modern times?😂😂 it’s ridiculous lol
Hi I am looking at buying a cord F150 2010 XLT super cap it has 270k miles is it worth it
Shoot brotha I’m not sure. If you want it as a reliable commuter or something then I’d say no. Two things: it’s well over 13 years old and it’s way over 250k miles… unless God himself has blessed this truck you’re looking at turbo replacements, pumps, etc at around 300k miles almost for certain.
However, there’s guys on here commenting their trucks getting 200k-300k and literally zero issues.
If your heart is set on it I would not pay a dime over $8k for it. I’d also get it completely looked at by a trusted mechanic or just pay a local shop to inspect it first. Good luck man!
Any issues on trans oil cooler lines ?
No, not yet (fingers crossed)
I love how everyone in the comments are like I have a f150 that has 200 million miles zero issues 😂
Yea I own one and love it but they fuckin lying lol great truck overall but Its had like 3/4 recalls alone but apparently no one's had the work done 😂
Seems worth fixing try and get it done cheaper
I have a 2011 with 191,000 on it
that just goes to show that cylinder disconnection sucks, take note Chevrolet
we buy all our ecoboost trucks with 160k to 170k miles weve even bought one with 190k miles
have a 2011 3.5 with 235,000
Do you have over $5k in repairs?
@@jsc2395 not yet and hopefully not soon 😅😅
Keep your fluids changed at their correct intervals and buy good filters. These new engines variable valve timing must not get sludge buildup in them. I stick with motorcraft oil and filters,but with the oil it's the rating and weight that count,not the brand. Stick with either manufacturers filters like motorcraft or wix,napa gold,puralator. Never buy fram,walmart,or the like. These trucks are built for the long haul
Motorcraft filters have poor micron ratings , why shouldn't they it's a $3.75 filter . Why would anyone use a semi synthetic oil today when full synthetic is available for 2 bucks more . Same with Motorcraft air filters, Wix has a better rating .
@@kenj.8897 Use what ya want friend. The wix,puralator,and napa all have better filtration. I've logged several hundred thousand miles on my fords using oem filters without an engine failure. As far as oil goes I've used full synthetic in other engines,but honestly if you stick to your maintenance schedule theres no benefit to it. If it makes you feel superior then carry on doing so. Like i said,just dont use fram,walmart,or the other cheap pieces of crap. Use the proper rating of oil for your engine under the circumstances you're in.
Have you ever thrown a code p2098? Thanks for the vid!
Most definitely brother, I swapped ALL O2 sensors out ($900) because I threw that Bank 1&2 code. The rear sensors don’t mean much but you definitely want to swap your fronts because they analyze fuel/air ratio. You run her too hot or cold and you’ll have worse problems down the line (if it’s truly a fuel/air ratio issue)
Long story short no issue since replacing sensors. No more codes or lights (yet) and I’m not running anything too hot/cold ratio wise. Fuel consumption is normal and air intake is spec.
