I got the truck back from the shop today.
I overheated it and was far from home or any place to buy coolant. So I had to go until the heat gauge went up and stop. Go and then stop. a couple of times. So i finally made it to a store and got 3 jugs of coolant and 2.5 jugs of water in it and it was fine until I was in my way home a couple weeks later with a load of wood and took a corner and it went bang and it sounded like my inner fender started rubbing but then I realized the noise was in time with the rpms so I stopped and the motor was shaking and it sounded like a Harley motorcycle. Towed it to the shop and I blew a spark plug through the head or cracked the head or something. My mom picked it up for me because I was working. It was 430 bucks so yeah not good. Point of the story don't drive it until you overheat. I should have got someone to bring me the coolant the first time.

Well boys I got a 50 inch light off of kijiji for a good deal and was going to mount it on my bumper. Was goin to do this the night after I got it. The way home from getting it I swerved to miss a damn dog or coyote or fox or something and plowed er into a ditch that ended up being a slew. So no more f150 for me it's probably a total loss because the back window blew out and when the tow truck pulled er out her front passenger wheel was toed in really bad so bent something in there. There was a bunch of huge boulders in the slew. And anything that goes under water the insurance company will right off.
The only puddle she didn't make it through lol.
Would like to buy another f150 but I'll see how much insurance pays me for my truck.
