Question Known 2000 F-150 issues?

Ok,
Here is your chance to spill the beans on any known issues with the 2000 F-150's with Auto Transmitions and the 5.4L V-8. I am asking because I'll be getting 2 as soon as i get home from work on the the 30th if there are no major issues with that year. So that said let me know what all I should be on the look out for and im also going threw your posts. WOW you guys are awsome! Thank you for any help you give. Alaskaman

Like I said in my first post it's the 5.4 litre engine. As I look over the posts here (I'm only on page 47) I am mostly seeing issues with the 97 and 03 years. However i just wanted to know if the 2000 was prone to issues.

Yes, I have seen the spark plug issues here and there. I think I can deal with that one and water in the number 8 Coil/plug hole. I used to be a Subaru mechanic and there a good car (if not the best car) however for a truck fords have always been a first love since my old 73 F-100 with a 360 and C6. The more i read the more i think it was 97s 2003 that had the most issues as far as computer and electronics go.
