BTW, I live in the Houston area but Spokane is the home town for my truck. I flew up there the week of Thanksgiving to buy it (2003 with 24,700 miles) and drove it back here. Beautiful place up there. I especially found Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho to be quite a site. Trip was definitely worth it. Love the truck and found another area of the country I want to spend time in.

GUESS WHAT...IT DIDN'T NEED A NEW ENGINE AFTER ALL. Imagine that!!!
After dinkin around for the past three weeks...turns out the injector pump had gone out (besides the other parts I listed previously). I've had it with my '03. Traded in yesterday on a new 2005 Dodge. I'll really miss my Ford. It was the most comfortable truck I've ever driven, but I won't miss the repair bills. I do however, want to thank each and every one of you who have responded to this post, and others of mine. It meant a great deal to me.

If this is correct, it seems that there is a big rush to judgement in deciding to replace the engine or tear it down. Can't we somehow troubleshoot the fuel system first and verify that it works, then check compression, ...
. Too bad we are losing you to Daimler but do wish you well.
