That would be a straight 6 or a V8, should be an emissions sticker on top of the grill area when the hood is up that will tell you what motor you have, 4.9L is the 6 cylinder, 5.0 or 5.8 are V8's.

Welcome to the world of trucks. I, for one, appreciate you being here. K...enough being polite....bring on your questions...will do my best to not be a smart a.. Won't flip you any more crap than I would another guy with a cool truck...but will always tell you straight up what I think...when it comes to the truck...there is no room for BS! Welcome!

Get a copy of the Haynes manual for your car. Chapter 1 is a good read for a beginner. Just about every public library as a copy. Go down and scan through the manual. I will give you a basis for questions. Good luck.

Kez, Welcome to the site, and Ford Trucks! You will learn alot here. I've been wrenching on mostly cars for the past 25 years, and I still learn something new here almost every day.
I found this site by chance, and now I'm on everyday looking at others questions and offering opinions when I know something or have worked through the problem. You won't find a better group of people to help you learn than here.

Use quality repair parts, motor oils and filters, etc. Your truck deserves it. Kudos to your step dad for taking the time. My stepson and I have wrenched a lot on his old Ford and it strenghtens the bonds. OK, don't get misty eyed on me.
BTW, we all here have opinions, but many users here are trained Ford techs and spot on gear heads.

welcome aboard! I love this site its very informative and alot of fun!
One good thing about our trucks its either a 4.9 straight 6 a 5.0 v8 or a 5.8 v8 all which are great motors! I usually would cringe at having a 6 cylinder but thats a beefy one!
