Life expectancy of v-10 - Page 2

Probably true Roy, even though I've been subscribed and posting
to a.t.f for over ten years.
More evidence that reality and Shojob are mutually exclusive.

Again you are legend in your own mind, knock yourself out.

"Legend in your own mind" best describes someone who can't own up
to their mistakes.

You can play mechanic if and when you get your facts straight.

truck?? Or are you doing what you always do, run your mouth spewing
BS?<<<<

Irrelevant!  The subject is the V-10.

Very relevant when he is compareing it to a diesel.

Oh shit.....looks down at the odometer in his F-150 5.4 V8  ..176,000 and
running like new and never burns a drop of oil.

I guess I am doing Ok then

Well, I'm sorry for starting a flame war over this little subject. I didn't
mean for it get nasty.

You didn't start a flame war. The exghange here was more a informational
exercise imo.

Please, allow me to apologize for hi-jacking your thread.

200K miles should be easy if the vehicle is properly maintained. I traded my
1997 Expedition with the 5.4L at 149,000 miles and the engine was in great
shape. I belong to an Expedition mailing list and a number of members have
more than 200K on 5.4L engines. Most of the taxis in my area are ex-police
Crown Victorias with 4.6L Modular Motors. I am sure some of the older ones
are over 300K. Occasionally I see some oil smoke out of the rear (mostly
early 90's CVs) but most don't smoke at all.

Had a cab driver in Baltimore with 490K on his Crown Vic w/the 4.6 modular.
