[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 12920464, member: 39344"] -first year truck=terrible. even worse since its the first year for the IRS and front IWE hubs. -only good thing about the truck is it has the 2 valve 5.4, so no plug breaking issues or plug blowout as the later 2 valve heads were 8 thread. -the rear will chatter and groan, the front hubs will go bad and will stick, then the IWE solenoid on the firewall will get filled with water causing some very funky driving characteristics. it should have a 9.75" rear but since its an IRS redesign they really screwed it up. -airbag problems plagued them in the beginning due to the connector behind the steering wheel having a bad case of terminal fretting. -rear sway bar chassis links can and will break off causing the bar to just float under the truck, to replace them is a nightmare. -also the 5.4 2 valve is notorious for passenger side cylinder head leaks at the rear of the head. check for oil puddling around the frame behind the rear tire. this is a major repair in which the a/c must be drained and lines removed from the fire wall. i would be very careful as one rear end rebuild will be more than what you purchased the truck for.
