Very cool, good find! 
Excerpt from the article:
Excerpt from the article:
www.ford-trucks.com - Ford's F-series is one of the best-selling vehicles ever produced, and that shows in the membership at Ford-Trucks.com: 310,815. Those members post in a wide variety of forum sections including those dedicated to the many different engines that have power F-series models through the years (as well as the many other trucks in Ford's line-up), a number covering every other mechanical or electrical system plus general forums dedicated to the different generations of these trucks and regional forums. As you might expect from a site with more than 300,000 members, there are a ton of topics in the forums, so there's bound to be an answer here to just about any question. Other features include tech articles submitted by site members.

particularly the overhead cam 4.2-litre V6 that replaced the torquey and tough 4.9-litre inline six that had served as a reliable base-model powerplant for many years.

Another intersting quote from that article:
"...If you have any preconceived doubts about Ford's ability to build reliable vehicles, leave them at the door: the F-series has proven to be a very reliable truck, with few problems that stand out, aside from some ignition system issues. Chevy's Silverado can't quite match the F-series for trouble-free operation and while the Dodge Ram may look cooler than the ‘97-2003 Fords, it's a very risky buy from a reliability standpoint. In fact, this generation of F-series is one of few vehicles that gives a Toyota product a run for its money: the Toyota Tundra can only claim reliability as good as the Ford's, not better..."
