  1. Humphrey's Van

    hit 560K miles

    i hit 560k this past week on my 2011. i bought it couple years ago with about 320k on it. the previous owner said the engine and transmission had been replaced about 3 years before i bought the van. He did not know how many miles on the rebuilds. He was a delivery guy that worked local. Im a delivery guy that runs long distance. I hit the 560k on a trip to Tuscon AZ; about a 2900 mile roundtrip from my home in Mississippi. i like to run non ethanol fuel. I got between 24.6 to 28.2 mpg depending on wind. i drove about 70 mph the whole way.

    hit 560K miles

    i have replaced the suspension parts: tie rods, control arms and wheel bearings twice. ive done the brakes once, but ive had a problem with the rear driver side drum adjuster wheel 3 times. seems it dont adjust then falls down to rattle and wear. 1st time no lube, 2nd time antiseize, 3rd time moly on threads. it think this is the cure. ive done the coolants hoses {all} with genuine motorcraft. and changed spark plugs twice. valve cover gasket once. about 10k ago did the cv joints. oil every 10k w/penzoil ultra5w20. transmission with valvoline LV; fluid 25k & filter 50k. it has worked well for me as a delivery van. still have not found a location for my diesel heater that the vent wont be damaged by my doggie laying on it.
