    Pretty much this ^. Once you get past the spark plug issue, the exhaust manifolds rotting off, and clickity clack, the damn things run practically forever. I have a buddy who runs a decent size lawn care business with 10 or so trucks and he looks only for 5.4 Superduty's for his fleet. He knows the inherent issues going in, but the longevity of the engines and strong trans in the SD's, they run forever. The truck around them falls apart from snow plowing before the engine or trans ever give out.

    Google "Change spark plugs Ford 5.4" to truly fall in love with that motor.
    your right about that
    i had a 01 in the family since new it blew a spark plug at 220k sounded like an auto shotgun going off under the hood i thought it was done but i was right around the block it drove home popped the hood and saw the coil pack sitting on the injector rail
    of course it was one of the plugs by the firewall
    had to buy a special angled tap kit to get to it

    yep 3 headers cracked

    this is a good story
    my sister was driving the truck and it popped the passenger tie rod somehow she drove it home with the tires pointing to each other no idea how she did it

    other then that amazing truck really i miss the thing sold it at 280 running great and its still going
    i love my hemi now hope she doesn't grenade!

    So, the group consensus is not to bother changing the VCT solenoids? It had a real filter on it, and was overdue for a change. Filter was a Prime Guard. I just wonder if theres shite on those solenoid filters. Also I've gotta say, i really don't like the truck. The bed is really small. I think i could make a few bucks on it if i flipped it now, but there isn't a lot out there in terms of decent trucks for short money. I'm not sure which way to go.

    If it's no broke don't fix it. Again 296k on mine just passed California smog original engine cats and trans. I've done the plugs every 50k and only the OEM originals broke. They knew there was an issue and even the motorcraft plugs you buy today are slightly smaller in diameter than the ones from 2005 to 2009. Check your injectors. Mine made hella noise at 250k. I thought my cam phasers were toast. I used a long tube from my shot vac and they were toast. Also get an ohm meter and check your coil packs. Mine had tw dead ones and never threw a light. Ran like . Thought truck was done. New packs ran like a champ. New injectors started getting mileage like it did when it was new again.

    I had a 99 Silverado with the 5.3, got a batch of bad gas and the truck sat alot. Long story short, sent the injectors out to be cleaned and rebuilt, $17 a piece and came back looking like new with new O rings etc. Number 7 inj. had stopped working completely but with ultra-sonic and pulsing they fixed it, all flowed like new. Truck ran amazing again with 167K. Cheaper then buying all new injectors. Just an fyi for anyone

I'm gonna swap out those solenoids. Gonna order them tomorrow. Its with a shot.
    they won't fix it. It's the tensioner leaking down. One way to avoid the knock on cold starting is to hold the gas pedal to the floor and crank it until you have oil pressure for a few seconds. I replaced both solenoids and phasers and mine still does it

    There's a cute cashier that works at the nearby TSC. I tried, but I failed to a tractor.
