This should help you...https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-worth-it.html

Hutch mod addresses fuel flow, Harpoon mod addresses the tank vent preventing you from filling all the way up and having a mess to boot.

And last...but not least...I'm not offended but what we have is a SuperCab, not an extended cab, I wouldn't want anybody to spank a new member here. Good luck with your new ride.
You read that right "walleye hunter" it's had very little to no abuse I would consider it a "virgin". 😉

This forum is better than any Facebook group I've been apart of.

That's absolutely true. Very solid advice here, and a courteous, helpful bunch. Sounds like a great truck that is very worthy of a careful rehab.

I know I mentioned it earlier, but I just want to reiterate. I would personally consider the Power Service biocide to be more of a requirement than optional. And I would start with the shock treatment in the first tank, and run the maintenance treatment after that until you run out of the bottle. If your fuel is contaminated it can be difficult to kill.

Would it also be a good idea to pull the fuel plugs out of the ends of the heads and flush them out with fresh fuel during the process?
