Own: 2015 T-350 long and tall cargo van, 3.5L EB, 3.31 rears, Espar B-4 heater, 245/75 R16 Michelin Agilis LTX . Used in nation wide expedited freight delivery.
This is my last maintenance post. I officially retired 12/31/2022. I plan on selling my Transit sometime in May. The maintenance costs jumped this year due to two expensive repairs, transmission lead frame and replacing all 6 fuel injectors. Had I decided to keep running into 2023 the cost per mile may have dropped some barring any other major repairs.
I hope this was helpful and gives a basis for what one could expect for maintenance and costs. I ended my maintenance records with a total of 478,364 miles.
