Well I picked this truck up today. It's a 1999 4.6 auto 4x4 with the tow package.
The good:
Near mint body
New transmission that came with all the paperwork and warranty info with it!
No leaks anywhere!
Near new tires.
Only 145,000 miles on the truck.

The bad:
Motor is toast.
It's dirty and needs a good detail and polish the chrome.

I payed 400 bucks! So I'm going to put a new engine in it with some upgrades and maybe let the wife drive it! Lol
What do ya think?

Well the 4.6 is a good motor so once you get a new one assuming its a 4.6 you got a good truck

7700SCREW

Ya! I will replace it with another 4.6. And with the way I maintain my trucks and the new transmission it should last a long time!

Thats one hell of a deal! 400 bucks and only need an engine rebuild, damn. Wish I could run across one of them around me!

Everyone says they are under powered but they really aren't

Ziplocman

Ow ow! She looks good! Always been a huge fan of that color scheme. So you're planning on getting an entirely new engine and trying to rebuild and or repair this one?

7700SCREW

Ya I'm looking forward to getting it running!

I have drove a lot of 4.6 trucks and I find them just fine! It's a truck not a sports car! Lol and for the heavy towing I have the f250!

7700SCREW

Me too! Always wanted a black and gold!
I'm going to buy a engine from the local auto wreckers and have it freshened up.
Depends what I can find. Gotta do some calling around tomorrow!

Well duh! Hahaha it's not like you're gunna be towing lowboy 5th wheel trailers with a half ton that much and if you gotta pull that then you probably would have at least a 3/4 ton or 1 ton truck! For boats and campers the 4.6 can do just fine in sure. I haven't gotten to pull anything yet but I do haul stuff sometimes in the bed more in the summer
