approaching 100,000 miles in my 01

nivek98 · 09-11-2003, 08:25 PM

What do you all suggest I replace, or upgrade on my 01 GT... I have had it a little over 2 years now and have put on 80,000 plus miles now... plugs? wires? belts? any suggestions on brands? for improvements?? please help!!!

kubiache · 09-11-2003, 08:28 PM

Dear god, I thought I was racking up the miles on my '01 with 70k. Do you commute to Alaska?

mr_eh · 09-11-2003, 08:45 PM

just about to hit 40k on my 00

and i got it in 01 with 27k

atc3434 · 09-11-2003, 08:52 PM

Fuel Filter
Air Filter
Plugs
Belt
PVC Valve
Wires
Tranny Flush - IMPORTANT
Coolant Flush (I don't care if its Dexcool or not... 100,000 miles is enough for coolant!)
Service the brakes as needed.

You might be getting close on a few things getting ready for replacement... just the kinda things you wait for to go, like the altenator, starter, maybe a waterpump or powersteering pump... although I've gotten 185k on my 89 Century's original water and powersteering pump. Hopefully its real good to you.

reaching 55K on my 01 and its called a girl friend that lives 126.4 miles one way while at school and lives 78.5 miles away when shes at home. Give it ten months and presto, the biggest waste of time and miles you'll ever have in your life.

As far as replacements. I agree with all of the above. and while your at it, replace/mod anything else that you may not like looking at.

...i know... my '99 is high mileage at 98k miles... and people think i do alot of driving....

...atc listed the things i could think of and a few more actually... i would start with what he's got...

GTLUVA · 09-12-2003, 04:26 AM

I have a 2003 and I have 4600 miles on mine and the only maintence I did was one oil change.

RedGrandTour · 09-12-2003, 05:34 AM

I have 87,500 miles on my 99 GT. I don't have to drive as much anymore so it saved me from 100,000 miles this year.

I drove a Mercury Sable before my GA. The SVS light came on right when that car reached 100,000miles. I'll never buy another FORD car because of that.

VaGT · 09-12-2003, 05:41 AM

I put 19K on mine the 1st year, and I was mad about having to do that...

The 2nd year, I put 3500 on a beater car, so I put like 11,500 on the GA.

Sitting at 33K right now, and it is 26 months old.

I have you beat, my car is 26 months old and has 20,800 miles on it. I take the bus to work, saves the commute big time!

woah, and I thought my 2002 with 32,000 was alot.

I have tried the bus several times and usually i'm either late for it, or I just don't feel like taking it.

XMBlackGT1 · 09-13-2003, 04:34 PM

5600 on my 2003. Got the car April 1, so it all balances out to about exactly 1,000 miles a month, and thats how I hope it stays.

BLACK99GT/ROB · 09-13-2003, 08:53 PM

Just over 41,000 on my 99.

09-14-2003, 08:15 PM

Just turned 81K on my 2000 GT1 Sedan.

SilverEcstasy · 09-15-2003, 09:12 AM

I just hit 17.500 with my 03.

nivek98 · 09-15-2003, 02:51 PM

I still believe no one can beat my 82,000 miles in 2 years 1 month on my 01

Garagegoblin · 09-20-2003, 06:28 PM

My cousin was telling me you was giiving someone a hard time about most mileage, well I got that beat 92,000 miles on a 2001. And no I do not commute to alaska. When I took it to a dealer he asked "Did you ever shut it off?"
