Few pics of my 05 FX4 Screw

Just washed and waxed it for the first time (only had it a month or so) and took some pics. This is now my DD so my 06 mustang will stay clean in the garage and i'll pull it out on nice days when I need some speed (about 500 RWHP). I got this truck for free as a hand-me-down from our outside sales man at work (fam owned company). Needs some work...ticking from motor that is either the phasers or the injectors...new spark plugs (135k miles)...and theres a check engine light for a knock sensor issue. So it doesn't run smoothly but runs pretty decent and is in great shape. After the motor work is done and running smoothly I will do a few mods like sound system, bigger tires like some 35's (285/65/18 currently) with a level kit/small lift, tint, front grill change of some sort, and a intake (or gots mod) with a tuner and maybe some mild exhaust work. I don't need this one loud since my mustang has a blower, long tube headers, no cats, and some straight through FRPP mufflers







Ohhh ok and why not some of the mustang too right

Very nice! The ticking is from the phasers, they are known for it on these models. Have fun with the plug change, they have a tendency to break(it is a 5.4 right?). Other than that, it looks very nice. Defenitly a very good deal. Oh and nice mustang too.

Yep 5.4l...I know all about the plugs issue...been reading a lot on it and the mustang has the same heads and same problems. I already changed them in the mustang to a colder plug and put anti seize on them. I was also thinking the tick is the phasers too...but I thought I had read somewhere that the ticking should not increase with RPM's if its the phasers....and mine does tick faster as the rpms rise. I haven't fully researched it yet.

Nice looking truck! I would suggest repainting those fender flares too, will help the looks a lot.
