My cousin in South Florida. He purchased his F-250 HD brand new July of 1995.
7.3 P/S, manual trans, 2WD, X-cab. Paid $24k.
He had just started out on his own as an electrician (mainly does residential service/repair).
So, most of the truck's life has been pulling a trailer.
The motor itself has not been touched except for replacing two injectors.
He has replaced one flywheel and two clutches. One transmission (would not shift into O/D) and rebuilt the rear diff twice (teeth broken off the ring gear).
Has always used Shell Rotella T4 and Motorcraft filters. (I'm not sure of the OCI intervals).
Just rolled over 500,000 yesterday.
