Thanks for the props guys. I've done very little myself to the truck. I lowered the front t-bars to an even height, changed to Lightning headlights, clear side lights and added the new clear fogs. I added the chrome for the door handles and the mirror covers (painted to match originals) and the gas door.

When I bought it, it had approx 111k (if I remember right) and now has 119944 (strange #, I know) for mileage. By adding the power drivers side seat track, I've made it a very nice and enjoyable ride. I still have to buff out a key mark on the passengers fender and door (someone thought it would look better that way I guess) but otherwise, it's decent and is one of my favorite Ford colors.

Know how you feel. I had someone do something similar which plugged the fuel filter and ruined an injector

Damn people just can't let a person alone. They always have to find a way to screw up something for others. Me being keyed, your's with sugar in the gas. WTF is wrong with people anymore. Have we gotten so hateful of others? Pisses me off when people do things like these to others.

Damn a new 5.4. I'll bet you are stoked. Glad you got it handled and will come out with a much better set up when done. You get a basically new truck. Super for you. Too bad about the down time though.

Yeah this world is in a downward spiral. As for down time, they gave me a 2013 f150 crew can to replace the truck in its downtime. Yeah pretty stoked about it. Injector 7 and 5 are completely toast and I talked the shop into doing a motor replacement instead of fixing the one I have.
