Hello All:
I just bought my F150 two weeks ago and found this site and was had a few questions. First off the bat a little info: I have a 99 F150 with the 5.4L with 8232 miles on it, SC, 2 wheel drive, with the Sport option, keyles entry, and the towing package. Now for my questions: First of all what is all this stuff about the piston slap on the 5.4L? What does the Sport option consist of? And what does everyone think about using Mobil 1 oil? And any other information anyone thinks is important is greatly appreciated. Sorry for some questions about other parts of my truck and not just the engine in this area. I look forward to any and all info. Thanks in advanced........
