My buddy got suckered at a dealership!!!
My good friend just bought a used 04 5.4 xlt and came over for a beer...i started inspectin his truck and found numeeous problems. First his fuel pump driver module was corroded and needed to b replaced. Then I noticed his front tow hooks were gone and the front valence was cut below the tow hooks for a plow package. And someone installed rubber bump stops on the front A-arms to support a plow and the front shocks were beefed up also, and the salesman told him that the tow hooks were gone cause there was a brushgaurd on the truck at one time. I also noticed that his 4wd vac lines were unpluged prob because the I.w.e's were grinding and the dealership didnt want to change them.. Lol my buddy was extremely pissed when I showed him all the things wrong with his new truck. I just laughed and smiled lmfao!!!!!

Your "friend" should have had the truck inspected prior to purchase. The front valance being cut up should have been obvious to him, causing a more detailed inspection. Sounds like he bought on impulse.
