Hey guys and gals. New gu . New owner to Ford trucks. And I can say this is one of the best trucks I've owned.

My truck:
2002 XLT Supercrew 2WD in white. Axle code 19 (3.55 w/open diff I believe). 5.4 V8. 300k miles. No leaks no burn no nothing. No clunking, stutter, everything works (except cruise control .

Anyways. I'm in Augusta, G . Dropping in. Saying hey. Looking for some info and what to look out for on these truck . As well as bouncing some ideas off of everyon .

Bought a 2WD because I've always owned 4x4 . Tend to tear them u . So probably going to do a cool mild street build.

Ahh, it's just broke in, - past that mark a few years ago. They'll go, run great allot longer than that, if maintained properly and with a little common sense of course.

To bad the body doesn't last that long, -if your blessed with salty roads in the winter.

I didn't make a newbie post, but I bought a 03 f150 screw with 289k miles on it in late February. Paid 5k for it. NO REGRETS. Love it.
