Beautiful rig, and a great, detailed write-up. Franklin TN? Beautiful area. I had a customer there many years ago. She was a terrific lady, Wilma. I live in Pittsburgh, and she would ship me Herbert's barbecue packed in dry ice. What a great woman. What great barbecue.
All that's missing is a Sarah McLaughlin song and I'd be blubbering like a baby. Dogs really are the best of us. Thank you for loving yours, and for sharing. ps Great Bronco.
Even my 2020 F-150 5.0 has similar valvetrain/injector ticking noises. It's just how they're built now. I don't necessarily like it, but I've learned to not worry about it. Welcome to the brave new world, I suppose.
