04 stx 4.6 96,xxx when I bought it 4 years ago it had 60,000 funny story the place I bought it from well I was talking with the salesman in the back lot while they went and filled up my truck. When we both hear a crash he's like good lord while I'm thinking yeah there's my truck we get up front and I was right. The Guy that went to fill it up was backing in and accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake and ended up on top of a 58 mile eclipse needless to say it got totaled I got a new rear bumper new exhaust and 6 payments made about 3 months after I got it the transmission went out and the dealer put in a new one

2004 Screw fx4 5.4L. I am nearing 175 xxx miles. I purchased the truck with 172 xxx miles 3 weeks ago. It was a trade in at the dodge dealer I work at and was being wholesaled. I knew it had never been taken care of and would need some work. I had never owned a ford and figured I'd jump in and give it another chance. I just use it for around town and small trips out of town. It's a pretty loaded get around truck, 6 disc, overhead dvd, limited slip. So I couldn't pass it up. With some work I think it has quiet abit of life left yet.
So far I have;
-Resealed the front differential, it was leaking pretty good
-New wipers
-Oil change
-Re attached rear view mirror to window
-Got remote start functioning again
-Spent hours cleaning, and have hours to go
-Got the tailgate functioning again
-Radio wasn't working, just a burnt out fuse
-Removed factory side steps and lift blocks
-New air filter
-Window switch quit working after reading the thread on here, fixed it this morning after finding an article regarding cleaning the contacts.
Stuff left to do;
-Rebuild rear differential
-cleaning...need to shampoo rug and seats acouple more times and hopefully get the the truck waxed before winter.
-Exhaust leak on the right side, somewhere
-abs light is on, I havn't had a chance to check but its either the rear diff sensor or wiring
-phasers knock but i'm not sure its worth the money to repair at this milage
-brake light comes on when cold, has a code for left front wheel sensor
-Would be nice to do plugs, but the scary part is i'm not sure they have ever been changed.

Phaser noise burnout doesn't bother me any.
