100K miles, gets a gtranny cooler.
Well, the loving relationship between myself and the 07 F-150 in the driveway has gone on for 100,000 miles as of this week. A relationship with less problems and frustration than with most people I have known.
To celebrate, I got the old girl a brand new transmission cooler. Actually I had the thing for several months now and just got around to putting it in. Average cruising around town temp dropped from 160-165 to 150. Won't find out about towing temps until the last week in April.
Just for fun, if you drove non-stop at 50 miles an hour (meaning no fuel, no breaks, not even to pee) it would take you 83.3 days to drive 100,000 miles.
And if you get 16.4 MPG it would require 6097.5 gallons of gas, which assuming gas is $3.50 a gallon would cost $21,341 which is almost what I paid for the truck when I bought it.
Over the life of a vehicle, the fuel costs more than the vehicle itself. Yeah we knew that, but gee that's depressing.
