Default 2006 F-150 XLT 4x4 Supercrew New engine with less than 200 miles

Hey guys! This is something I don't do, and could earn a little backlash. However, this truck is a special case, and I'd figure I'd post it up here for yall. In short, I work for my dad for a small car lot himself and I run. Months ago, we picked up this 2006 F-150 supercrew 4x4 with 194k on the odometer. The engine was ticking pretty bad from what we assumed to be cam phasers. The truck sat with offering the truck at a low price with the knowledge it would need repairing. Well, about a month ago, we said forget it, and pulled it in to start the engine removal. We took it apart, and saw one of the cam lobes was scarred fairly bad, and still thought the phasers were bad also. Instead of doing upper engine work, we pulled it and replaced it with a brand new crate engine with a 3 year, 100K mile warranty. The rebuilt engine had OEM parts used in the rebuild from the phasers, chains, oil pump, everything. We also replaced almost every sensor as while the originals were still working, we didn't want to run the risk of having almost 200k mile sensors failing. The sensors we replaced are not OEM to be clear. We replaced both knock sensors, cylinder head temp sensor, oil pressure sensor, both camshaft sensors, both VCT solenoids, and the crankshaft sensor. I will post pics of the progress of the build as further proof of the replacement. The trans was rebuilt on the truck around 150k miles, so the drivetrain on the truck is very fresh. The paint and body on the truck, while not perfect, is a lot better than what one would expect for almost 200k miles. The interior is in pretty decent shape, but it does have some decent staining in the truck.

Outside of the engine, we did add and replace a couple of things. We swapped out the headlights to an OEM set of FX headlights, put in a brand new battery, changed the tires to a nice set of BFGoodrich's that are about 34.5" tall (285/70/18), added new running boards, put a couple cheap seat covers on the front, and we did swap the gauge cluster out. Now, this is a point I will be VERY clear on stating.

The mileage on the odometer does not match with what the truck really has on it. We did not change the cluster for aesthetic reasons, but rather due to a short that developed in the cluster, illuminating the brake warning light, and causing the dome lights to turn on at random occasions without reason. Both problems have been solved, and the cluster has been changed to the better designed FX cluster. For clarification: True, original mileage that was on the old cluster was exactly 194,249.8 miles. Mileage on the new cluster upon swap was 88,566.5 miles, and the truck at this point hasn't even moved a tenth of a mile since the swap. However, mileage will increase. It is not daily driven, but is driven on occasions. I will provide pictures of both odometers as proof of this, and upon request, I have made a video showing when I did the swap. I also included a picture of the VIN label in the video showing further proof that it IS the truck I'm talking about here.

The truck isn't perfect, obviously. As stated earlier, it has some paint chipping, most notable on the tailgate. All the electronics work (even the in-dash 6-CD changer still works properly), though the driver side power seat makes some noise moving forwards and backwards. On occasions, the CEL sets with a P0430. In short, either the cat is on its way out, or the O2 sensor is bad.

This is a great truck with a very fresh drivetrain. Everything works on it, and the ESOF 4wd drops right in with zero issues. I can provide the Carfax upon request.

Also I am restating this so that there is no issue. This is a dealer truck, specifically a small dealership owned by my father that we personally did the work to. I am NOT going to turn this into an advertising source for our dealership, and I'm ONLY doing this due to it being an F-150 with major drivetrain work completed on the truck. We have a South Carolina title in hand, clean and clear. Mileage on the cluster is NOT original due to internal shorting issues within the cluster. I AM RESTATING ALL THIS SO THAT THERE IS ZERO CHANCE OF MISUNDERSTANDING.

Now, some basic info.
