Hello All!

Howdy!

I already posted a question, but I wanted to come here and introduce myself. In July 2019, I bought my first F-150 - a 2007 4x4 with the 5.4 V8, extended cab, and 6.5 foot bed. I bought it with 160k miles. I knew it needed some repairs, so I got it pretty cheap, found a good Ford mechanic (ex-dealer mechanic who opened his own shop), and did a bunch of maintenance stuff (since it didn't come with a service history).

I did the plugs myself - it came with the originals and I broke 6 of them off - so I spent 3 days using that extractor kit, but I learned a LOT about the truck doing that.

Fast-forward to today and we are at 200k miles. I already posted the issue I needed help with, but I wanted to check out the other forum posts to see if I experienced anything that I could help someone else with. I hope you all have a great day
