Worst Luck I Guess?

Hey all, I have a 2002 F-150 4x4 with the 4.6. I have literally spent over $8000 on parts and labor to fix the issues I've been having with my truck. First it was a cracked exhaust manifold, then I had two tire blowouts on the same side because of some metal roofing screws, then my transmission needed rebuilt, then my right rear axle, the the differential...which chewed up both axles and bearings so I had to rebuild the entire rear end, and now my motor mounts are so bad the motor literally wants to jump out from underneath the hood... Other than that, I'm hoping to gain some information to help prevent the "Mayhem" progressive guy from ever showing up again!?

Step one, grab a compter.
step two, write up an ad.
step three, sell truck.
step four use money from truck as down payment on a newer truck
step five, be happy and mod it.

or just do your own repairs and it won't be expensive. I've did outer bearings on a ford 8.8 for less than $5 in parts.
