175000 miles, never had a problem.

Now the waterpumps marking it's territory.

At least it only leaks on the bottom......what are the chances it will stop by itself??

It's warning you. Fix it ASAP before it pukes all over the place. Been there, done that.

Thank God she gave up the ghost right between Christmas and New Year's...GREAT DEALS then!

Yeah, a friend owns a shop. We're going to put it on the rack this evening.

Guess I can't complain, it's been a good truck. Tires, brakes and a couple of batteries through the years has been about it.

Good rides. I'm on my third. Tranny goes at about 100000 - 140000 for me on the last two, but could be my fault.

Got a 2000 1/2. The truck was a mid year new model intro. Before 2000 1/2 Silverado was a trim package, not a truck model. Only have around 100k on mine, but I'll drive her untill she gives up the ghost.

Yeah... you want to get that fixed before it's a big problem. Water pumps are cheap to replace if you have someone to do the labor for you.

The 100k to 140k amuses me since we have testimony here that puts Fords at 200k+.

Shouldn't you be shagging right now? Or on the way home from Chamberlains to shag? We're talking trucks here, not KIA'S.
