Just anote
I have owned almost all of the trucks made from rice burners to the Big 3, from 1949 to date and they all have their weak points and their strong points. But to the Ford lovers, beware. Ford currently has problems with their 4.6 and 5.4 Tritons blowing plugs out. Just a note if you haven't yet changed your plugs find a mechanic (notice I didn't say Tech) who knows what they are doing. A proper method will save you thousands in head replacement costs. This seems to be an inherit trait and runs across the board on F-150 and Explorer and Excursions using these engines. If you do your own ask and I will tell you how to do it withourt damaging the weak threads in the heads. I personally own a Chev 2500HD 6.0L and love the way it pulls like a freight train. But as a retired mechanic with 30 years in I say to each their own and what ever turns your prop. (Retired Air Force)

Some Z71s sit level from the factory now, but a majority don't, I guess so many people complained they changed. Otherwise you had tighten the torsion bars, or use some kind of Ford Key in the torsion bars to make them sit level.
