I have seen a 99 model go 188,000 still going strong vehicle wrecked.
Only water pump, spark plug hole strip.
I had a1998 Triton v8 in a E350 van which is the same engine but adding 2 cylinders which went 350,000 before spark plug striped
ford recoment t replaced at a 120.000 miles for focus
Under similar situation and same truck, my transmission went out at 150,000 on a trip with my TT. $4200 but was 4X4 transmission.
These motors will go to about 140 000 before needing any rebuild.
According to the Gates website ( 120,000 miles )
Timing chains will normally last the life of the engine and are replaced during a complete engine rebuild.
NO!! If it has that many miles on it, the motor will need a rebuild pretty soon.
The chain should last the life of the engine and is normally replaced during a complete engine rebuild.
Timing chains are designed to last the life of the engine and are normally replaced during a complete engine rebuild.
I have had to replace my 2002 Mazda Tribute Transmission at around 150,000 miles. I am not sure if this is normal, and all of my miles were mostly highway. I replaced it with a rebuild and it cost me around 3600 dollars.
It depends on the miles( highway vs. city), how well its maintained and driven. Most vehicles should last (engine)175,000 - 250,000 miles before needing rebuild. The transmission(automatic) 100,000-150,000.
120,000 miles , inspect and replace if necessary ( but I see another person has answered that their belt broke at 110,000 miles )
