Hello, I'm new here. I've never had a ford and really liked the vics so I finally found one in really good condition, just had a concern about idle time. When I was looking for about 2 months not a lot of people advertised idle time on the listings, so when I looked at this one I checked it and it has 7,400 hours on 120,000 miles on a 2009. I bought it super cheap, but was concerned about the 33 miles per idle hour, but people say if treated right these motors can run high 300,000 miles? So does it really matter what the idle time is if they are expected to run high miles even with idle time? I know it has wear the engine in idle, I'm concerned about the overall life of the motor, it runs great, very smooth, but is it going to be dependable if it was well taken care of? What can I do to get the maximum life out of it? I may be over worrying, just wanted to get some opinions as to if this motor still has a lot of life? Thanks!
