Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
well it's not my Hollywood Mach but my daughter's 1996 V6 Mustang has now 326,357 miles, only the Radiator and fan assy has been replaced, but what so funny, she asked me to replace the aluminum oil pan due to wearing out the thread hole for the drain plug with so many oil changes..LOL.. so found a OEM pan and just replaced it last week..but did see where it does need a intake manifold gaskets..can't believe FoMoCo has discontuinued it some time ago and was told only the 96-98 V6's used this kit,,but was very lucky to find a small Ford dealer south of Indianapolis who had one and had it picked up. What I was really surprise was there was hardly no sludge at all in the pan. Saweet!!! My dad bought this car new in Florida and it lived it's entire life down there until 2007 when he gave it to my daughter who is in college at University of Southern Indiana. She is now in Northern Ireland for a semister so I have it now until June. He is a retired mechanic and is a sole believer of changing oil every 3000 miles and it shows in the pan.. It's too bad the black paint didn't hold up to the Florida sun but it has no rust and runs pretty good!!:THUMBSUP:

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
you have given me hope on the engine, lol, i know you got your procharger on since this and like 118K on her, but i want to see how long she last with that on there, very curious to see. i'm sure if you got the right tuner to do your set up then you should be fine for a while, atleast you drive her

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
mine is at about 140 and still going pretty strong. I haven't had it long so don't know what has had to be replaced up till now, i've done all 4 brake rotors on it.
only issue is a tack tack tack noise coming from the left bank as it goes through about 2500rpm and a fault code claiming an occasional missfire on 7. I'm going to explore it more in the next month or 2, i think it might be in the valve train. car still has plenty of grunt though and handles nice and tight. i have a feeling the big miles its done was probly all highway stuff, just ticking over at 60mph |

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
84,xxx and was a police car for 4 years. Everything rattles, and all the suspension is getting replaced. Syncro's in tranny are going out. Rear end needs new axles. Other then that, not too bad I guess. Get's driven every day. Some days does the lil puff o blue smoke upon start up, but hey, it's had a hard life

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
I'm at about 115-120K now. And several hundred dragstrip passes.
New engine at a little over 100K but the old one was still fine. I just wanted bigger displacement. In fact my buddy has my old engine in his race car now but he finally changed internals so he could crank up the boost.

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
I just hit 180k miles
Original Motor with 100 shot of Nitrous for about a year - have procharger dying to be installed Original Tranny Replaced stock clutch at 160k miles with Spec Stage 2+ due to failed throwout bearing (common?) - Although now the Spec bearing making a little noise... Replaced Thermostat Housing at 85k miles due to cracked housing Replaced front brakes twice Getting ready to replace rear brakes 5 sets of tires 1 alignment about a million oil changes Added OR/Prochamber and K&N FIPK Think I have an O2 sensor on pass side going out now as my LONGFT1 will just rise randomly and light coming on. ABS sys started throwing random light and now light on full. Other than the small issues, thing still drives like new. |

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
130,000 miles
Transmission (<2500 factory defect) Fr driver brake caliper failure Rear driveshaft seal? Clutch and tob (80,000) Until recently it's been tight and smooth. Now I got quite a bit on driveline/engine noise. Engine is coming out in the next few months.

I abuse it all the time ::grins:: camaros like my taillights...
Problems Thermostat housing replaced at around 60k miles due to crack Brakes- front twice, rear once, 1 bad rear brake caliper Clutch replaced at around 150k miles with spec stage 2+ due to bad to bearing (used spec bearing and its grinding now so ordered a hays performance bearing- this may have been due to install as the to bearing is now riding on presurre plate) Abs light started on/off around 95k then completely on full time around 130k - never really care because who needs abs? Front end way out of alignment and couldn't be adjusted enough so installed cc plates (aligned twice now) 27 sets of tires (at least it feels like it, go through 2-3 sets a year now) Not tons of track passes, but did run it a year with 100 shot on street. Plenty of road fun and best time at track was 13.67@105 with bad 2.6 ft 60 (tires sucked and just spun). Need time to go back now... Anyone ever feel like donating parts, let me know... plan on hitting 300,000 in about 1.8 years (drive about 65k/yr) I used to have an escort for my dd, but thought why have a car to just sit while I could be enjoying it ask started driving the Mach daily. Then while waiting on tires to come in I wrecked the escort with just liability! Anyway, summer/winter this thing has always gotten me from point a to point b!!! Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk |
