Noob's first post
Just wanted to get my name out there. I have a 2003 XLT 4x4 Scab 5.4L. It’s the faster silver color. I have been lurking for a while and have noticed that a lot of people either have had blown plugs or leaking oil of fouling engines. My first car was a Nissan maxima (a great car it was white. That is where my SN is from). And my last car was a Saab 9000. Expensive biatch to own. I now have the Ford truck. I guess with regular maintenance it should last a while.

Welcome to FTE!
While the plug blowing thing does happen, you need to keep in mind that "FTE'ers" and other forums represent a very, very small % of happy customers.
The best way to guard against blown plugs is to make sure that they are torqued properly, and with your new rig, I would'nt loose any sleep over it.

It was the earlier ones that had head gasket leaks.
The gaskets didn't usually cause big problems, they just leaked some oil out the back.
I dont remember replacing head gaskets on anything newer than a 2000 I think.
