[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1039588, member: 61136"] Welcome, With the age of your 2001. Take a look at 3 things. 1) body mount cab bushings. Ford used a material that falls apart. Most of us that still have our Gen 1's. Had to replace them already. We used poly mounts. 2) Keep you eye on the T-Stat lower housing. They will blow out and leak. Replace it with a metal one. 3) If it still has the OEM type shocks on it. Replace them with a performance shock. The Ranhco RS 5000 series are good. You will better control in curves on the HWY, less nose dive on braking. Not trying to scare you for your purchase. These are just issues ford could have done better. I plan on driving my '04, until repair and maintenance parts are not available. The Gen 1 is a good sport truck. [/QUOTE]
