1998 Ford F150 review from North America
"The 4.2 was made by Dodge"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought it brand new, loved it, but after a couple years the head gaskets went out. So I replaced the head gaskets, then the oil pump went out and blew the engine. I put another engine in it; the same year, same everything, and what do you know, the head gaskets went out on it.
It's sitting in my yard, and don't know if I'll get it fixed. I love Fords, but the 4.2 V6 is junk.
