My '97 (well I gave it to my son & daughter to travel to college ( Southern Fla-Alabama). 4.6, purchased new, changed the oil regularly, changed the plugs wires @ 170K (gap was BIG, I think 140. oops ). Anyway has 225,415 miles on it & runs great & good gas mileage. The engine light came on & I think it's the DPFE sensor from some reading I've been doing. Just got back from North Fla & the trip (300 miles away) OD is not working but other than that the motor purrs just fine.

My hat's off to FORD!

P.S. Original tranny, rear etc. Changed the fluid & it keeps on ticking.
