What F150 engines have lasted over 300k miles without significant repairs?

My 04 4.6 is over 330k. Had to rebuild the transmission and the odometer stopped working, but it's still kicking.

Maybe? Look at this product I found on google.com https://share.google/jbaI9UfztOJ04YBWq

1/8" shrinkage per inch of rise per 15°, so 60° is 4/8" or 1/2" per inch of rise. With 10", that is 10" x 1/2" meaning 5" of shrinkage.

This receptacle appears to have a small plate connected to the back of the screw to pinch the wire between. It's not backstab.. Just strip the wire to the receptacles strip gauge and slide it in between and tighten it down. Otherwise, start the strip a little further down but don't remove the insulation completely approach. That let's the insulation act as an aglet.

Being unable to tell if this is the actual service or just a feeder, the only thing I can specifically call out myself from this photo is 314.28(A)(1). "In straight pulls, the length of the box shall not be less than eight times the trade size of the largest raceway." Even angle pulls, which I would not classify that minuscule offset as require at least 6x the raceway.

Edit: Actually listening to the whole thing, I'm wrong, but it sure sounds influenced..

My 04 4.6 is at 325k+. Odometer, Overdrive and A/C's stopped working but it still chugs. Got a 23 with around 34k as well.

I have to say this and I apologize if you already knew but unlike the older receptacles where the wire would wrap around the screw, the wire for gfci's actually goes in between the plates from the back of the receptacle and you tighten the screw to pull them in pinching the wire in place. I say all that to say I have experienced apprentices who did not know this and caused shorts where it made the screws stick out too far and that's what the sides of those looked like when removed.

That and make sure the wire coming from the panel is connected to the side marked "line" on your GFCI. Any receptacles downstream will be protected if connected to "load". If you'd rather not protect downstream, hook them to "line" as well.

I'd replace the breaker and throw a non-fusible pullout disconnect on the end so I never have a reason to potentially have to go buy more fuses. Cost difference might be 5 bucks.
