Hi - looking at buying my first f150 - my budget is $15-18g. I've seen a 2006 Supercrew Lariat 138,000miles going for $14,500. Should I avoid this (spark plug and cam phaser issues?). maybe look for a 2007, with fewer miles?

Any advice would be appreciated,

Cheers

Leigh

 

The spark plug issue is not really a big thing if you have someone do the change that knows what they are doing. If the motor is currently quiet, most likely the phasers are a non-issue as well. Keep in mind that the same potential problem exists on the 2007s, the heads were not changes until mid year on the 2008s.

 

great, thanks for the input

 

I have the same problem as a colleague above. I tried your advice and still the same; /
