Without knowing the full fueling and maintenance history, I would make the purchase under the assumption it may need a high pressure fuel pump eventually. I thought he valve problem was only on the cab-chassis units, but that could very well be a misunderstanding on my part. The rest of the truck, including the transmission, should be solid assuming no rust-through. Coming up on 8 years old, I would also suspect steering components and driveline may need wear parts soon.
Good points... The truck is owned by an elder man that took it to Ford for every service needed, with full history available.
it was used a a glorified grocery getter and to put a few small items in the bed every so often.
The concern is the truck has been in Florida since new, sitting on a bay, 1/2 mile from the Gulf... I would be concerned with rust myself..
