Have you taken a compression test? Its always nice to know if an engines compression is basically equal. Like all readings within 10% of each other. I'm not really concerned with readings in regards to new, I like the cylinders in balance. If funds and oportunity are available, take it to a shop and put it on a scope for a cylinder balance test.

Thanks guys,
I think I will just take the easy route. Never buy an American vehicle ever again!
I have a Nissan with 189K miles and it pours like a kitten. I am pretty dissappionted with this Ford. 120K is very small.

@ DewMan.
You are so right. Every car or manufacturer has its own unique challenges.
Indulge me, I am just venting out of frustration with a truck I actually love.
