how can i tell if i have a early or late model from 2006,




2006 f150 4x4 scab lariat

 

My door sticker has the manufacturing date...I am sure yours does too...open your drivers door and look in the frame or on the door itself...

 

Look at the drivers side door jam for your manufacture date.

 

You could look at your cats as well. They changed to two cats from four in 06. I believe the early 06 had 4 cats, late had 2.

 

ok well i know i have only 2 cats, so im late model , and does that mean i wont have the terrible engine tick since they changed the variable timimng valves?? hasnt started and i fear it everyday haha.

 

I have a late model as well. 174k miles and only tick I've had is from a lobg overdue oil change. I rhink I went 8k miles cuz I was runnin back and forth from Houston to morgan city Louisiana. Didn't have time and it burned a lot of oil. But once I changed it it was gone.

 

ok very happy to hear that, my buddy and my grand father both have 04 scab lariats and my gpa has 90k and is starting to tick and my buddies is 135k and has def converted to a deisel haha. And dam, coulda hit up a jiffy lube or somethin, i start to cringe every time i drive over 4k haha.

 

Ya it was bad. I have trust issues with shops. Everytime I take my truck somewhere, something comes back messed up. Last time I had em cjange my oil they used a torgue wrench and bent my oil pan all up. But ya you should be good for a while. Only thing I hate about late models is the wheel bearing. When that goes out ull have to replace the whole hub assembly because the way ford made it. You can't rellace the bearings alone.
