That is great to read. I am right behind you, 80,000 miles and so far very few problems. I did manage to blow the head gaskets, but Ford covered it under my extended warranty.

I say the spark plugs, i dunno
I already installed new HT1 plugs - alternator is still good too but I'm upgrading to 200A - may replace thje starter too pre-failure...

I drive it like most guys that have modded their car - easy sometimes and really hard other times...I'm really surprised the clutch is still so good (no slip at all and will still chirp 2nd).

I threw this out at 100,000 and got some good responses...now we're up to over 121,000 and still going strong. NO issues. Below are the regular maintenance items...so what will go first??? [ul][*]Fuel filter[*]new serp belt[*]new plugs[*]new cabin filter[*]tsb-new fuel pump[*]3rd set of tires[*]royal purple and mobil 1 many, many times[*]radiator fluid flush/fill[/ul]
that's about it

Thoughts??
IMO if you've gone that many miles in relatively so few months, it sounds like you've done everything necessary to tack on another 121K - congrats! I thought my '01 Escape with 123K was still rocking strong, which it still is, but you basically condensed the mileage on mine into 1/4 of the time
