How many miles on your original 4R100?

I just want to see how many miles you guys have on your original trannies. I'm closing in on 160K, and I know a lot of guys that are rebuilding them around 170K-180K. As you can see, I'm getting a little paranoid. My tranny shifts perfectly fine, but if it decides to crap out under my ownership, how much will it cost for a rebuild or reman. one?

I have 121K on mine, so far as i know, and it works just fine,
You can get a top of the line BTS tanny for a little under 4 grand if you go to their shop in Lead hill , AR, or you can ship them your core and do it yourself, either way.

And if so, did they just follow the Ford recommended maintenance schedule?

Well, I just purchased my first PSD this Summer and now have 216,000 on it. Unfortunately, I don't know if it was ever repaired/replaced previously. So, unless there is a way to positively identify a replacement, I can't be sure if I hold the longest running transmission or if I have the next one to go!

I've got just over 190k on mine. Bought it with 103k from the original owner and I don't think they ever did anything to the truck except general maintenance. I put a shift kit in it about 110k and so far everything has worked well. I would like a new and better one but it has pulled everything I've put behind it.

Ive got 102K on mine. Bought it with 74K. So far its been ok. Dealer that I bought it from said that they flushed and filled it just before I bought it.... When it craps out ill rebuild it myself with better clutches and a BTS torque converter.

I have 113000 on my 99.5 and still going. I had 315000 on my old 00 F350 dually before the trans went out. It was used for towing almost constant.

My uncle had an 99 with 198K on the original trans before he totaled it and a buddy of mine had 178K on his when it finally blew.

153K on the original tranny, starting to slip a little. But... the 120 race setting will do that!
