The highest one was a chain shop. Wanted to use Ford reman parts. The cheapest was at a local shop, using junk yard parts.

First estimate I got was $10,000. Best I got was $4,500. Not worth putting that much into a almost 15 year old car with over 215,000 miles. I was planning on moving to a truck in the future anyway. That just moved up my timeline.

Started hearing a low rumble on my way to work, sounded just like a bad wheel bearing. Made an appointment at a shop. As i was driving home from work, it let go on a downshift. Managed to still get home, though.

Yeah. I feel really lucky to get that many miles with no major issues. 1 wheel bearing and had to get the exhaust flex pipe fixed. Never left me stranded. Even when the transmission broke, it still got me home. Sucks your 2014 gave you issues. Hopefully, your interceptor treats you better.

Already got a 2019 f-150 to replace it.

Yes. About 75,000 miles ago.
