I have an 06 F-150 with a 5.4l V8 and I love it. Only thing I won't love is changing the spark plugs from what I hear it can get messy.

Plugs are not that bad , i did mine in about 4 hrs broke 3 of them. Make sure you have the tool on hand if you need the truck.I also heard that there is a class action law suit against ford for the promblem.
They are nice trucks and dont let the plug promblem or exhaust bolts breaking steer you towards gm as they have exhaust bolt promblems to

I am glad that the plugs won't be that bad, I was just expecting the worse since I have not tackled it, by no means am I steering him towards a (No offense to anyone with a chevy truck) Ugly Chevy Truck. I hate the way they look and there is a reason the F-Series is one of the best selling vehicles ever. Plus your user name is BlueCrew and that is suggestive to Ford brand loyalty, don't betray that :) lol

By the way... I thought you were coming to get this crank out of my garage? Lol.

:tongue2: my 3.7l V6 has more HP then those 5.4l lol. Truly it doesnt but id rather have the 5.4l... The spark plug changing isnt to messy. Back when i actually worked on cars i did alot of them and didnt ever have a problem.
