Just Got Her! New old truck to me!

Hello, This forum was recommended to me from the explorer forum that was very helpful when I was working on a sport trac for a family friend. I have a new to me 2004 F150, 4.6, crew cab, short bed, 4x4. Truck is in pretty good shape, but needs some work. It was sorta a hand me over, friend of a friend deal. Had and old Dodge that I loved, but it was totaled.... sad story, no one was hurt thank God.

2004 f150 need a bath

Welcome! You got the more reliable V8 engine offered that year in the 4.6. Many of the 5.4s had cam phaser issues.

Thanks for the kind welcome! I am glad to hear that about the 4.6! I did not know that. I think this will be a good truck after I get it sorted out. I started a thread here if you are interested:

shows a problem I already found where an idler pulley broke off.

Nice hearing from you Roadie!
