Sold the Ford, bought a Cummins
Well, this is my final post, the title says it all. I've owned F150's before but the '04 I just got rid of was by far the worst truck I've ever had. I love Ford but that 5.4 that's in that truck was junk. I hope you guys have better luck than I did. This is an awesome forum with tons of info. It's been so helpful to me. Y'all have a good one.

Cam phasers, chain tensioner, injectors, FPDM, emergency brake locking up. You know how finicky the 5.4 is in the '04. I know there are tons out there that perform correctly but the one I had was a PITA. All of this and the truck has 120k miles on it. Unacceptable.

Yea the 5.4 3vs are not good motors. What year model cummins did you get? They are great engines but unfortunatly the suspnsions under neath them are quite problematic unless you have a newer one. Congrats on the new truck bud.
