I do have a couple of issues I need to work on this winter - I’ve got a leak in the passenger side catalytic converter and a valve cover oil leak in one of the spark plug wells. The rearend is quite noisy, I am going to try some Redline shockproof gear oil to see if I can buy myself some time before I need to rebuild it. I also have some Tokico D struts/shocks and a KR H pipe to install. Hopefully I can get many more miles out of this thing.

I just had to have the rear end rebuilt in a 2014 F-150 with 75,000 miles on it. I ordered the rebuild kit from American Muscle and had the install work done by Paul and the guys at Pro-Dyno.

I've gotten to the point that I hardly drive my '07 anymore. If I go to work in my 4Runner, I get there and back with no drama. But every damn time I bring my car, I've got people changing lanes into me, nearly rear ending me, etc. Just freaks me out.

My '09 is a daily driver too. Racked up 30k in less than 2 years of ownership. Damn cars were meant to be driven, not stored like some pristine piece of China, only to be taken out on birthdays and holidays. It hurts their souls to be stored under cover & protected. Crikey, in the grand scheme of things, they're just cars, appliances meant to be used so use them, dammit.

Hello all, New to the forum.
I have an 2007 Gt500 with 100,000 miles that was racked up by the 2 previous owners.
Still runs great no noticeable Blow by and I'm currently doing a Ford Racing 2.3 TVS swap on it, they seem to be very durable and I'm impressed to see a driver with that many miles! 180k wow!

Right on man! Glad it's treating you right. I'm about to roll over 10k on my 08. :(
