I like the looks of my Ford F-150 but I'm experiencing what Ford calls piston slap and Ford would not do anything about it. I was told that the 97 -2000's with Windsor engines have some badly engineered pistons which causes them to slap against the cylinder walls when first started up. It sounds like the engine has a defective rod.
Best vehicle I ever owned

I bought my vehicle about 6 months ago. I love my truck, it's fun to drive. I believe everyone should own a Ford.
Top Quality

I have 175,000 miles on this truck and never had anything go wrong; this is a top quality truck. I abuse the heck out of this truck driving daily from 4000 ft to 8000 ft in the mountains. The 4WD system gets abused 9 winter months of the year. An excellent truck.
Almost Perfect

Bought this truck new, and now have about 82K miles on it. It Drives, and rides well, and is still tight after all these miles. I have the 4.6 with a 5 speed manual. The transmission needed main bearings at around 70K. This was the only problem I've ever had with this truck, but it was expensive to fix. Gas mileage averages around 17mpg with a mix of highway and country road driving. There are no rattles, the steering is tight, the brakes are smooth, and the transmission shifts well. The build quality is very good, materials seem of high quality. This truck was screwed together in the Norfolk Va plant which is know for its assembly quality.
