Well it was my dad's work truck and personal. Decently maintained and has 250k on it and we have towed big tex trailer stacks across country. The motor has been though a lot. Also can I get the parts and cleaner at my local autozone or oreillys??

 

can I do all this in one day? Also I'm wiling to spend 350-500$on my tune up so any brand specific on the parts?

 

Yea, O'Reilly's deals more in Motorcraft parts than Autozone, -in my experience anyway. You'll want to stick with Motorcraft stuff to keep it problem free as far as tune up hardware. Might have to fish the internet for some of the parts.

 

awesome also will I have to have any special tools to access or get to these parts??

 

Shouldnt be too hard to keep the cost low. There is a tool for the quick disconnects on the fuel filter but its maybe $5.

 

Not really..Well, depends what your doing. A metric socket set and a 5/8 plug socket. You'll want to attach that to a 6" or extension and tape it together. Electrical tape works, IF you clean it first. You'll realize why later.

You'll need at least a 7/8 wrench for the forward O2 sensors. Touching the rears can open a can of worms and a big headache that's unnecessary. So yea, leave those alone.

Fuel filter will be a learning experience. Just keep in mind it's a spring clamp that keep tension all around the fuel lines reveal. A good THIN fuel line or oil line removal tool works best.

 

alrighty I'll differently get that.
I can't find a way to clean/wash my engine is there a safe way or video link that you know about that would help.

 

Yea, there's a **** load of foolish ways.

So....you any good with a squirt bottle ?

 

You should take Auto Shop at school. It will help in the future.

 

Haha auto shop at my school is like a joke I knew more then the teacher and I'm barely capable of rebuilding a carburetor.
