      You learned your lesson the first time? I went through 6 trucks, 5 engines, 3 transmissions, a spare tire hanger punching a hole in my fuel tank, multiple 5+ mile walks for help, overnight stays in places I've been stuck, and yet I still didn't learn what I was doing wrong until I got married to a woman that enjoys letting me know everything I do wrong!

    I have a F250 with the 5.4 Triton. It was my only pickup for years. Mine is a 2002 that I bought in ‘04. It got half way decent milage for a 3/4 ton for a year or so until they started with the ethanol blend. Then it was schoolbus milage. In the old days, if you had a 460 or 454, you knew you weren’t going to have good milage, but at least you had power. The 5.4 had neither. Plus it was the only gas engine I ever had that would blow sparkplugs out of the soft aluminum head. It ruined me from Ford pickups and I bought a 10 year old Dodge with the original 5.9 Cummins 3 years ago. I’ve had my aggravations with that as well!

    I was worried there for a second since water and gas don't mix.
    My own funny Ford truck story goes like this......I had a 2000 6 cyl ford ranger a while back and got a little too confident thinking the truck was high enough to go through standing flood water that I thought it could handle. Little did I know there was a pothole/ ditch in the asphalt that made it just deep enough to lower me a few more inches resulting in water going in the air intake. I got out of it driving, but the engine blew a piston. That 3.0 sounded like a diesel tug boat all the way home. Yeah, a snorkel for the air intake or a lift kit with larger tires would have been great going home from work that day. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I had a 2009 f150 with the triton, and it was the biggest mistake I ever loved! I bought it with 161 000 miles on it (260 000km here in Canada) and it definitely had that Canadian weight reduction upgrade. By the time it unceremoniously died, it had slimmed down quite a lot too. I still miss it though, and if I buy another pickup, it'll be a ford.
    Bonus for you - Look up a song by a group from Newfoundland Canada called "Dear Mr Ford". The group is called Buddy Wassissname and the Other Fellers. I promise you won't be disappointed. I feel so strongly about that, that I'm gonna keep suggesting it until I find out that you listened to it

    If I wanted to find an F150 in its natural habitat I would start at a junkyard or a repair shop.
