Ford tough with a few extra rattles

I have a 2004 F150 that I bought in 2015 with 67,000 miles. 5.4 cam phaser knock and rust on the rear quarter panel as is typical for cars in this area...especially ford trucks. I now have 97,000 miles and other than the noisy phasers, I’ve had absolutely zero problems with it. Been a Chevy guy all my life until the 5.3 and 6.3 engines completely crapped out on two consecutive Yukon’s...sorry Chevy, not coming back and just bought another ford truck this weekend

Bought my Black Beast around 2 yrs. ago and have loved every minute except $640 in repairs. Too difficult to explain details. Have performed simple mods myself & it screams! Adding Whipple blower soon and then new Nitto drag radials. 5/3/18 Update: Truck is currently in shop for major upgrades: American Racing long tube headers, Whipple 2.3L supercharger, Aeromotive fuel pumps & injectors & AEM methanol injection. Should be done in a week or so. Will post results after test drive. 11/3/18: After upgrades truck is increadible & must use common sense or rear tires will be bald in a hurry. Still have factory Whipple pulley & Ford crank pulley with a dyno of 420 rwhp. Recently had it lowered 2/4 with Belltech components. A true blast to drive. Bought a set of SVE factory look chrome 5 spoke rims & a set of Nitto 305/45/18 drag radials on the back. Soon will be installing a drive shaft safety loop to pass inspection at local drag strip. Also adding a set of MGP billet caliper covers (custom one offs with SVT logo).

The truck has more bells and whistles than I was looking for but the price was good. I enjoy the feel and comfort of the ride but now would perfer to have four doors instead of the door and a half setup.
Not Satisfied

My overall impression after driving this vehicle for 6 months and 10,000 miles is that it is not all that it is cracked up to be. The steering wheel maintains a slight tilt to the right even when on flat roads (The dealership can't find anything wrong).
perfect truck in its class

Ouch , but on the other hand fords svt lightning ran a 1/4 time of 14.68 sec @ 98.37 mph it has a 0-60 of 6.37 with 380 h.p and 450 #'s of torque and has a msrp of $33,495 yes the srt has more hp and torque but the lightning can hang with a minimal difference in specs.
