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...

I use dealership techs for my repairs for a reason.
Sorry Fish, got a do it.... I thought you have had no repairs on your current truck or you six oh before it. ??
I never said that... I recently had to have the passenger side hub/bearing replaced.
I can say that my 98 F150 (140k), 05 Super Duty (170k) and my current 12 Super Duty (160K) with a combined 470,000 miles I never had to have a water pump changed. My '92 Chevy 350 was the last truck I had to have a water pump changed and a dealer tech did the work.
I just changed one a couple months back on a 13 F150 with the 5.0. $80 water pump , couple gallon of antifreeze and 45 minutes. It was still harder than a Cummins h2o pump though.
