Richard,
That truck has made it 119k miles without any problems so why would you want to tamper with it. If it was my truck, I would leave it as is and stick with only Motorcraft fuel and oil filters "only" and enjoy years of service. In addition to "only" use Motorcraft Gold coolant every 50k miles.
Onto the bullet proof topic there is no such thing as "bullet proof"! Use after market fuel filters that allow water to get to the injectors and see how long they last or use after market oil filters that falls apart in the filter canister and clogs the high pressure oil lines or to a lesser degree allow oil to bypass the filter and not filter the oil.
Since you've posted twice about the concern of your recently purchased truck, I would simply sell it and move on. It's not worth worrying about it. :W
All good advice from a die hard BlueOval guy!
