New guy from Michigan
 

Hello Everyone,

I am the proud new owner of a 1998 F150, 4.6l, 4x4, Ext cab, 8ft bed. She's got 185000 miles on her and I picked it up for $2k. Except for having almost no body rust, Everything else is wrong with it.

Work so far:
Replaced driver side power window motor
Replaced the windshield
Replaced the fuel tank, pump and sending unit
New transfer case shift motor (4x4 now works...yesssssss!)
EGR solenoid and sensor
R/R front brakes
Replaced Power steering return hose
Replaced wheels and tires (17x8, 17/265/70)
Recharged AC

Next up:
Rear brake hardware and adjust
Transfer case, tranny and diffs fluid

Ooops, I forgot that I've also got front end work to do also: ball joints, tie rods, idler arm and stabilizer.


When this list is done then and only then can I get to the "like to have" mods on it. Thanks all to the many threads I've read to get me this far. It's a darn good thing, these trucks are fun to fix. :)

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
