Good the early 03s were overbuilt compared to all the rest, my buddy has one, his has 29000 tho...but
I once thought as you did.
Youre lucky so far, but like I said its a matter of time until it breaks. All the typical things that plauge these trucks are gonna happen to yours all at once, or one after another like mine did costing me thousands of dollars. All my probs started at 78000, so I thought my truck was pretty cool until then, now 10000 bux later, and the problem I have now that no one can fix, I want out. These motors are money pits, and ford has a monopoly on fixing them, which they dont. If ford fixed them the way they should, they would be slitting their own throats. They know a certain part is bad or doesnt work, but they put the same crap bad part back in instead of fixing it or the problem that makes it break.
Have you read on here that the last flash "inductive" might be killing our ficm moudules prematurely? A flash ford created thats ruining parts on our truck. Expensive parts. And who do you think is gonna pay for a new ficm when the flash burns them out? Sounds like job security, rippoff
