Default Hello and welcome

Hello and welcome, thanks for taking time to read my intro.
i own 04 Lariat in white (not the pearl one).
This is my 3rd lariat. And I'd say 6th f150. All 04-08.
Back in early 2010s I was blessed enough to buy a 2004 Lariat with 387k(kilometers) it was rusty, one side step bar was missing, both manifolds were blown, check engine for 2 O2s, vibrations from 40kmph to 60kmph, ripped and ruined interior.
BUT, I swear on everything this world stands on, it has shaker 1000 stereo. It burned 12.8L/100km. This truck had a soul, heart, feelings and senses.
I've sold it. Made dumb money on it.
As life went on, I wanted a lariat to drive.
summer 2020, I buy 2008 lariat, white, chromed everywhere, a kind of thing that you look at, and your life simply becomes better. It was nothing less than stunning. When I got in and drove it......it was simply a piece of metal. No sub, stupid touchscreen Hu which sounded like crap. I had no feelings for it. Absolute zero. Sold it
gave up on idea driving lariat. Month ago, scrolling through fb, see 2004 lariat, quite good shape, 300k, sub under back seat, one owner, frame been done, runs drives, misfires like Madamada, I beg guy to sell it to me for 1400 buck.....he agrees.
I have the truck, this is so much more than a vehicle.
I don't know if you guys know what I mean by saying "Mercedes Benz is not driving, it's much more than that, so is BMW, I refer to older ones" well 04 lariat, gives you feelings and emotions that no other trucks do. When I sit in my lariat, I feel like I am one thing with it.
anyways, I'll be asking tons of questions I'm forums
I'm leaking oil between tranny and motor, bought some SKP spark plugs for it, bought a tune, I believe rear differential is empty, rear windows don't work. I want to throw most possible comfortable shocks in it and I'm sure some more things.
I've been in car industry since 2002, know bit about cars. Run a shop.
chat with you later guys.
