fabs,.....yea we were talking a few years ago on some of these fords but it spans over many years and when I owned them, they weren't that old...for example on the broncos..in 90, I got an 87..one year of babying because I loved it still had another motor installed...I said that would be my last one after that motor shot the heads...so I got a blazer..ran like a champ till the new pa emissions laws (this is a whole new ballgame I would like to start a post on soon).said even though got great fuel mi...no smoke, kept tuned up..still wouldn't pass so forced to get new ride...broke down and got another bronco..93 in 96. for 3 years with the chevy only had to wax my vihicle + the usual oil etc...and owned the bronco only 2 days and they came back with the hook to take it back...darn if I didn't remember real quick why I said never another ford in my yard........that is when I tried the ram because my neighbor only washed and waxed his all that time..oh.then neighbor kid asked me one day why I wait till it rains to work on my vehicles...I told him I don't...it only rains when I have to work on them...hunt partner bought bran new in 98 a f-150 and I kidded him about keeping tape and coathanger in back...he laughed at me but it was me along the interstate hanging his exhaust back up ..new too...and I have had the tranny redone on my ram...still under the dealers cost..whew, and only have another year of that...so you are right...not make diff what ya have....or how good ya treat it either...will have some kind a problems.....I just refuse to have to open the hood on a ford....lol
