Maintaining higher mileage trucks
2011 F150 5.0, 90,000 miles. I'm happy with the truck and at 70, not too many more years of towing. I'd like to ride it out with this vehicle. I've been OK with dealer service and they are convenient...

Thanks all for the comments! For those curious, the repair was a water pump. It didn't fail but was making an intermittent weird moaning sound and I asked them to sort it out. Anyway, it was about $600 equally split, parts and labor. There were a couple of connection type parts as well as the pump and new coolant. They said labor is normally $120/hr, they discounted that to $100/hr. I don't have any idea what labor is at independent shops. The two shops in town always have 20+ cars sitting around, don't know what to think about that....
