I just purchased a 97 F-150 Extended Cab. Mine is the 4.2 liter V6. It has about 48,000 miles on it. I would like to hear from some of you other owners out there who have the same year truck, regarding any problems you might have had, or recalls. The only real problem I have had so far is that my check engine light just came on yesterday. Not sure why, but I plan on taking it in to find out.
