An engines life depends mostly on the owner who services it. You keep to par in maintaining you vehicle and not abuse it, they last forever.
Wat is better old car or new car??
People who don't care, abuse, and don't service their engine would already be in trouble thousands of miles below you.
How can i turn off the automatic door locks on my 02 dodge ram ?
98,000 miles is nothing for a Ford V8, that is just the begining. If you are as good as owner as you sound, you will easily see another 100,000 miles or far more. All Ford V8's are built to last.
It depends if they are highway miles or city miles. It also depends on how you take care of your engine. If you kept up on scheduled maintenence, only put in name brand gas with a decent grade, and didn't romp the car or push the engine too hard, you should be ok. Remember that the bigger the engine, the shorter the life.

How many passengers can a dodge nitro hold. also how many passengers does a dodge durango hold?
The engine doesn't have a built in Lifetime Limit. Most engines fail due to the owner not maintaing their cars engine and Transmission as they are supposed to. I have a friend that Travels Cross Country on a regular basis and gets somwhere between 250,000, and 300,000 miles on his Truck before he decides to Trade it in.

Highway miles, driven correctly, oil changed often, air and fuel filter changed often, I would say 300,000 miles, if not more
Can't remove cap on my engine coolant, 98 VW Jetta GLS?
I agree with most people.. I've seen F-150s with 150k and 200k normally and one or tow with 300k on the engines... It's all a matter of maintaince and a small portion of luck... Ford has had some issues with motors like everyone else.. but for the most part, the engines are a work horse as long as they are maintained and not excessively idled (even then, most police units get 150k miles before needing a new engine.. But with idling equals about 300k or extrememly hard running)I am going to build a '32 ford roadster, anyone have opinions regarding a fiberglass body?
The consumer affairs website link shows for plugs blowing out of the heads. Haven't seen too many myself. Usually after talking with the customer they admit they have had a tune up or a spark plug replaced somewheres before. I've heard it doing it with factory plugs however... apparently it's 1999 to early model 2003 (expeditions for 2003 MY were built in early 2002)

My dads F250 Truck has 300,000 miles on itCruise control for 99 mercury tracer ?
I'm impressed it's still runs.Alot longer...any engine will last a long time when you take care of it. I had a dodge minivan 4 cylinder with 200K on it and it ran great, my dads Intrepid has 300K on it and it runs great, make sure you change the oil every 3 K miles. 98k is like new... LOL!!
How do i get grease off my 87 ford ranger 2.9L flywheel?
Should last a good amount longer, the intake gasket will prob blow in the next 20,000, but take care of them and i have seen them with 250,000 on themI can't say how long that engine would last, but I had a 1989 Ford Thunderbird, and the engine was still running well at 137,273 miles. I would have kept it, but my father made me get rid of it. I now have a 1993 with 102,000 miles, so Ford engines I would say generally run a good amount of time.
maintenance is the key to longevity. I know one guy that has (3) f 250's with 5.4's in them all over 300K and have never been down for engine internals. The new engines do very well indeed.

Diffrence between Petrol engine & Diesel Engine?
This is a million dollar question. If I could predict how long an engine would last I could retire. It really depends on many things. We do routine service on fleet vehicles. I can tell you there are some Fords out there with over 2 million miles on them and still running. I can also show you a police car that only has 20,000 miles on it with a fried motor. Some people don't maintain like they should. If you change your oil ever 5000 miles, use the right grade of oil, use standard oil where its called for and synthitic where its called for and use quality filters you engine could go over 200,000 miles. We usually rebuild (heads, valve train) at 150,000 but thats us. Our clients pay us to maintain vehicles. We change brake pads every 15,000 miles as well, front and back. Our clients don't have money issues they can't afford to break down. A pd car is not good chasing crooks if it can't stop to arrest them. I personally know of a 1988 Ford tempo in fleet service with a city that goes between 50 60,000 miles a year so that car has about 1.3 million miles on it by now I think. The city would rather spend 1000 on fixing that car then 20,000 on a new one. The car still looks like new and has no signs of rust. The motoe and transmission have never had a major rebuid. However, the driver, takes better care of that car then he does his kids. So Im sorry there is no real answer to your question. There are just way too many variables.More Questions & Answers ...
