Year?
Rather than playing 20 questions ...
HINT/TIP: Put your vehicle information (year, model, cab, trim, engine, wheelbase, _x4 drive, mileage, modifications, etc., etc.) in your signature -OR- provide it in your posting(s).

As far as I know, all 5.0 liter engine are the same across all years so I’m not sure your comment is really needed here, joe.
The 5.0 is know to have problems, but it usually manifests with noise and usually on the rear two cylinders. Not usually the front.

And as far as "all years" ... there are 2 (two) generations of 5.0L engines. And, yes, gen'1 is in the gen'12 F-150s.
+(plus) providing vehicle information is just common sense as well as good net-etiquette.
