It was a rusted out hunk of garbage in way upstate NY or I would have bought it for a thousand bucks just to beat on in the back fields.

    That is a "cool" idea using the heater bypass valve instead of all the work replacing the blend door. Their was a local F150 Super Cab from the late '90's (same body style as yours) with the 4.6L that had 999,999 kms and got recognition from Ford of Canada for the high mileage. Our local dealer had a big display about it. (I forget what they said the scan tool claimed the mileage was past that) At that mileage, the body was just staring to show signs of rust. Had a photo of it somewhere. Have fun with the truck!

    Put a 4 link air ride on each axle. Then have all the lines share the same air
    Then your rear axle will distribute the weight equally to each axle.
    Much like a tandem leaf spring trailer. The equalizers distribute the same weight to each axle no matter what

      There's a real simple trick..I'm willing to share the knowledge and in 5 minutes they'll all be out..even broke off flush with the head ones.
      Bust out the trusty Flux core gasless welder. Weld a fairly large glob right on top of the broken stud( it won't weld to the aluminum head.) Then take out your vice grips and clamp them to the glob and unscrew the glob along with the broken stud. The heat welding generates makes them come out like 🧈. Hasn't failed me yet .

    That bad boy needs a deep cleaning, ocd panic engaged. Shame there isn't a way to make it a twin screw in the rear. A swap to a 5.4 4v (possibly with a blower), a strong 351w or stroker, 6.2L Boss, 5L Coyote or 7.3L Godzilla would be sick. My dream scenario would be to make it a long travel suspension, dual rear axle drive and no front wheel drive at all. Strengthen it up and have a mean "Pre-runner" that still has a functional bed and is reasonably practical for the street. I'm sure you're not going to take things even remotely that far. I still wouldn't waste money on a 2v when the junkyard has so many better treasures available.

      He would have to get an axle with a pinion output like a Rockwell 2.5-5ton axle, there might be some type of smaller, lighter axle in an agricultural or industrial application with an output that allows a second axle or a PTO. The back axle could be the stock axle that's on there or a Stirling 10.25/10.5 from an F250LD, F250, F250HD, F350 or A Super Duty from the mid 80s to present.

      @@guitargod66 Engine vacuum is used to put a slight vacuum on the sump (usually via the valve covers). The engine ultimately consumes the air and burns any oil mist it captures. The air has to come from somewhere. It comes from filtered and metered air before the throttle body. It's part of the mass airflow into the engine even though it doesn't get into the intake manifold via the throttle body. That's why it would be a vacuum leak if you open the oil cap.
