Well after 13 yrs with my Ram......I went back to a Ford .....F-150 crew 4x4...I didnt post much...But I wanted to say thanks for the wealth of knowlege i found here...You guys saved me alot of time , money and Im sure you helped me avoid alot of mistakes. I only hope to find a forum with Ford guys that can be as much help when needed. Thanks again , Jeff

 

Glad you enjoyed. I am fairly new. And whether you're a dodge owner or not, I think we can still help you in some situations!

 

Did you get the ecoboost or the 5.0?

 

if you find a good ford forum you should let us know. i tried f150forum.com and found them pretty useless to help me with with my dads 95 f150.

 

Went used...5.4..couldnt see spending more on a truck than I did on my house

 

Ohh... Good luck with it.. Heard alot of horror stories. Hope you dont have any of the issues..

 

i wonder if they ever solved the spark plug problem in those 5.4's

 

what year is it? watch that some years have a tendency to gall the spark plug threads. you might want to bathe it down in penetrating oil for awhile and then change the plugs. or not.

good luck with it
i've had real good luck on the explorerforum.

 

'04 FX4 78000 miles ....discussed the sparkplug issue with my mechanic...he put my mind at ease..besides the plugs were changed the day before I picked it up(I insisted on this as a condition of sale) Thus making sure I wouldnt have an issue removing them as the broken plugs are a problem.
I did some research before I bought and know there are some issues with cam phasers and the plugs but the deal I got and the shape the trucks in ,I couldnt pass it up...It also helps having a close friend that is a certified master mechanic

 

Good luck with the new truck.... Gonna move your thread to general discussion though.
