Those are really bulletproof engines. Ford uses it as their workhorse small pickup engine and in the past it has been made in turbo and diesel versions, all were tough to kill.

I won't own anything other than a Toyota or a Honda.

I drove American cars from 1963-1990, then I switched to Japanese.

The change was dramatic.

I'll never go back.

I'm too old to deal with an unreliable piece of shit.
