Ford actually recommends 80k for spark plug change for the 5.4 instead of the normal 100k!

I just read through this whole build!! Awesome work!!

This Saturday I'm pulling the head off my truck, I have a blown head gasket. I have a 97 with the 4.6 and now I feel better after seeing the front cover off your truck. I hope to make a build thread with mine as well.

I am painting my hood, front fenders, and rear bumper tonight in my buddies booth. It was going to be too time consuming to polish the dust out of these parts, so thats why i am re-spraying them. Its a home made booth but the results should be much better than in my garage! i will post pictures tonight! I am also picking up an engine stand tomorrow.

I really do wish I had the capabilities you have! I'd LOVE to work on and give Thunder as much love as you give your truck! Would be cheaper on my pocket instead of paying someone else to do it that's for sure.

Just went through this whole thread. Truck is looking sick man, your crazzzzzzy! I love the black/red look you got going to. Where the hell you driving too every few months? I'm in Thunder Bay & I know it's about 16hrs to Toronto. You goin to Dryden, Kenora or something??

I broke down 2hrs from marathon in high school when I bought a car from Toronto and was driving it back here. It's the worst, me and buddy walked and walked and some guys actually picked us up and dropped us off in marathon. Thankfully since it was like 1030 at night, the last thing you wanna do is be walking with wolves watching you lol. That northwestern ontario drive to southern ontario is probably one of the Sketchiest drives across canada. just bexause its nothing but bush & wild animals! last thing you want is Elchucabara chasing you down when your stranded LOL.

Anyway good luck on the build its looking good, ill be following along!
