Re: Good Ridance Ford - Thanks For All Your Help!

Stay WAY up on your preventative maintenance.
I am VERY happy with my '96 at 147K miles.
I was not happy at about 100K when the tranny needed replaced....but I am the 2nd owner, and the 1st owner used it for towing....without a tow package.....
I have had a number of "bad" cars, that did very well for me....but I am very annal about oil changes, and jumping on the slightest problem right away. Also, keeping things clean under the hood, and a good spray off in the wheel wells, and the rest of the underbody every time I wash the car.
