My buddy is looking at a 2002 f150 XLT Supercab with the 4.6 and I need to know the known issues with those motors ( I only know stuff about the 5.4's) good deal for the truck? Needs front doors and has a couple small holes in the rockers. Original windshield never actually wrecked no oil leaks or anything. By the way he's 16 so good first truck? http://www.communityford.net/mobile/...IN/vd/24141773

 

Not unless they fix the rust and check engine light

 

well they want $3,600 and he has $5,000 so that should be enough to fix the rust on the doors, and replace the tailgate maybe even enough for plugs and cops

 

no. Either the dealer fixes the cel or walk. The light could be on for any number of reasons both major and minor

 

221k?

Pass. Known issues don't apply to high mileage engines. They're basically ticking time bombs.

 

You need to know what's causing the CEL and have it fixed. The CEL is telling you that something is wrong with the truck.

 

well the light part. Yeah that's getting fixed before it leaves the lot

 

agreed

 

if it's a vac leak code but it runs strong would it not be a nuke to you?

 

a code is a code

Either fix or walk
