how many miles are on your 99-04?

  • Sponsors (?)


I have a 2001 GT with 79k-ish miles on it and no problems thus far. I "preemptively" changed the IAC since I know it's a problem on a lot of the new edge GTs.

I also changed the battery to an Optima Yellow Top to support my 2 amps and a sub.
 
166k on my 01. Rear brake pads lasted 130k, then went from fine, to squeeling, to blowing one of my rear calipers apart in 5 miles. Replaced the IAC at around 110k, the clutch at about 100k (only because I had access to a lift and I figured I'd make the best of it) 1 COP, and other then that its all been routine. Brake pads, 1 battery, oil every 7500 miles with Mobil 1 5w30 (burns about 3/4 of a quart per change) and a set of Tokiko blues about 1000 miles ago. I bought the car new on April 11 '01 and my new car warrenty lasted me all of 8 months before it was miled out. Over the last 7 1/2 years I've watched most of my friends go through a couple hondas and toyotas while my Ford "junk" just keeps rolling happily along :D That being said my T45 is getting a bit stiff, the car was built a week before they switched to the 3650. I'm starting to keep my eyes open for a good deal on one. At the same time if I happened to spot a nice deal on a low mile motor I wouldn't mind just doing a whole drivetrain swap. Cheers,
Shawn
