Highest Mileage Mach 1
Who has the most miles on an 03/04 Mach 1? I notice alot of us have really low miles (I only have 30k on my 03) and wanted to see if anyone was using them as a daily driver and if so how they hold up. I remember the old 5.0's going well into the 200k's with no problems. How does our motor stand the test of time?

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
**** that is impressive amount of miles.
Linumup- I grew up just north of you in Bel Air. I moved out back in 88 when I joined the Navy. The place sure has changed over the past 20 years. |

I have some concern adding boost to a motor with that many miles. I am also looking at a little bit more of an investment. Rather than spending 7k of the procharger install, for 11k, I could drop an aluminator with a roots blower. Then she would be all new. didn't mean to hijack

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
Coming up on 83,000 miles.
Problems I've had: A/C Compressor blew - fixed under warranty 6-CD changer died, replaced with new one Bent right rear axle - Replaced cheap Currently: Throw-Out bearing is ready to die So, for the amount of crap I've put my car through, it's holding up nicely. I'm impressed.

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
105k miles is a lot to you? Or is it just because it's a mach that has been driven that much that surprises you? I have seen 2v GT's go 200k miles. Do the 4v's just not stand up as long or what?

That is what I am trying to find out. I believe that our engines are built pretty tough and should hold up at least as well as the 5.0 and 2V 4.6. |

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
twice as many valves, twice as many cams, twice as many chains, and more horsepower, it wont last as long, but think about an old 289 hi po with solid lifters.. you would be lucky to get 50k out of them.. and have to adjust the valves every other month.. and get the same amount of HP

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
you have given me hope on the engine, lol, i know you got your procharger on since this and like 118K on her, but i want to see how long she last with that on there, very curious to see. i'm sure if you got the right tuner to do your set up then you should be fine for a while, atleast you drive her

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
mine is at about 140 and still going pretty strong. I haven't had it long so don't know what has had to be replaced up till now, i've done all 4 brake rotors on it.
only issue is a tack tack tack noise coming from the left bank as it goes through about 2500rpm and a fault code claiming an occasional missfire on 7. I'm going to explore it more in the next month or 2, i think it might be in the valve train. car still has plenty of grunt though and handles nice and tight. i have a feeling the big miles its done was probly all highway stuff, just ticking over at 60mph |

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
you're just like me! I bought my mach-1 to enjoy it....purchased it with 71,000 miles and It's slightly at 91,000 after owning it for about 9 months! I commute about 50 miles a day from school to work and back home... and probably cruise another 30-50 miles at least twice a week.. I just love turning heads while driving by.

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
No Worries....
My Mach has been my daily driver for a few years now. I am coming up on 120,000 miles and the engine is still as strong as ever. I can't say the same about the transmission though....Lol... of course that may be an isolated incident |

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
At 104k right now, just basic stuff needed replacement. Clutch/TOB, Alternator, and brakes and oil changes,etc.
Car still runs great. I love it.
