    Nice looking rig!
    I have bad memories of the 5.4 issues.....done plenty of work on those over the years, seems some are good, but many are bad.
    Hemis are pretty durable, although I’m not gonna lie they break manifold studs as well, lol.

    They all do lol but I can live with manifold studs if I don't have to rebuild the entire engine at 235000

    Appears so. The he is use stainless bolts but they’re too thin, so they break.....usually flush in the head, not too bad to get out, but not easy by any means. At least they’re not rotting away to pencil thin remains though.

    Unfortunately this is often overlooked when people tell me "it's only a few bucks more than I was paying". It's not the monthly payment that's expensive, it's the number of additional payments.
    My BIL keeps getting new F150's, and each time it's "the dealer gave me such a great deal I couldn't pass it up!"

    Nice truck! How does it handle pulling your car? My buddy just got rid of his f150 harley because of the same issues.. then reverse went. Still got decent coin considering it was clapped out. Trucks really do hold their value.
