Hey everyone, just bought my 2005 F150 XLT Supercrew. Picked it up with 74k miles. Has a little rust on it and a dented fender. Plan to get that replaced after this winter.

I'm from Iowa, currently a student at Iowa State University. This F150 is my first truck So far, it's got grille inserts, nerf bars, visors, stereo, a few other small things. Anyways, just thought I'd stop in and see what's up. I've got a few modifications I'd like to make to it as money allows, being broke and in college makes that difficult but I'll find a way to modify it as $$$ allows

Here it is:



And here's my other ride, it was my first car. I've done quite a bit of work to it. I'm at the point where I no longer want to drive it through the snow and salt we get to experience most winters here in Iowa (although last year wasn't much haha)

 

I like the car, I wasn't aware they had a supercharged version of the Monte Carlo. I drove a few rentals when I was traveling. It was actually a pretty snappy car with decent handling for a front drive.

 

when do you grad? whats your major. My gf plans on going there next year!

 

What engine? The 05 5.4s have injector issues.

 

Thanks! It wasn't originally supercharged I've done a few things to get it where it is today.

Always a work in progress, its a lot of fun for me but a little rough on my wallet lol.

I'm currently doing Pre-Architecture/design. So I'll be lucky to be out of here by 2016-17

5.4.. My dad is the only previous owner, so I'm fortunate that I know everything and anything that's been previously fixed/replaced. I don't believe there's been any issues with the injectors currently, that I'm aware of at least. What issues should I expect/watch out for? Is there a solution to the issue? Lucky for me I get to retain his extended warranty which covers nearly everything. I believe it's good until December-ish of next year. Would it be something I should get checked out now, or wait until something goes wrong

Depending on the issue and solution, I may be able to do this myself. I've had some experience with faulty injectors on my Monte but that's totally different I'm sure.

Those valance lights are .....eh.......to put it politely....

 

Thanks! I'll have to check it out
Totally agree, I'm not a huge fan either. They'll be removed soon

 

Welcome...Nice truck.

I just saw that my Window Sticker is ready on my F150 with a build date of Oct. 1, and ETA of October 15!

 

If an injector lets loose it will hydrolock the motor on gasoline on startup. Only preventative fix would be replacing all 8 injectors
