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."

One of the greatest documents ever written. I read The Declaration to my family right after breakfast the morning of the 4th, this year.
