I don't know too much about these trucks other then they're fun to drive, this is my first ford, so there's a few slight differences from what I'm used to. But it's good fun learning and throwing spanners at it.

So after about 5 days of owning it I had to drive it back to were I work and live, it's a 1610km drive, unfortuantly the drive wasn't without its excitement....I blew a hole in the manifold gasket about 3 hours into the drive.
So I've fixed that manifold gasket installing a fel-pro gasket, and replacing the bolts with ARP ones as I go.
Next I installed some autometer gauges, for a more accurate readout of what the motor is doing. I tried to match these as close as possible to the factory gauges.
After installing the gauges, it wouldn't start, after much swearing and head scratching I traced it to the starter solenoid, so that got replaced. Then the battery gave up, so I replaced that because I got sick of charging it and worked out my alternator isn't charging....so now it's time for a new alternator.
I'm looking at the 3G swap, but it's not as easy to go to the wreckers and grab one where I live, so I'll have to buy new.
I plan on installing thermo (electric) fans, as where I live it gets real hot, she's sweet when it's cruising, but when I stop the temp creeps up.
Anyway here's my truck, I'll try keep it updated as I change it up to my tastes, and fixing/upgrading things as it needs it.
