are you having to add coolant jim?

if it was built later in 97 you might never have that problem it was mainly the ones built in 95 and 96 released as 97s in 96.

I got my '01 XLT supercab about 4 months ago with just under 20K on it. Now I've got 28K on it. I LOVE MY TRUCK- SHE IS SOOO PURDY. and love this website(but not as much as my truck)

 

I have a 1997 Supercab with 187,000 miles shooting for 250,000miles. Have had a few worries at different times after hearing about all the 4.2 problems but have lucked out so far.

 

I have a 1988 F-150 with 258,000 miles on it. Just changed plugs last weekend and not a drop of oil on them. Original 300 straight 6 not even a new valve cover gasket. I'v had the truck for 12 years and drive it almost every day.


4.9 straight six is the best motor in the WORLD!!!

 

300 6 is the best motor, go 4.9!! i bought a 96 ford F-150 regular cab short bed with a 4.9 300 6, with 90,000 miles, its emaculate and drives like a dream
