Junkyard 300K-Mile F-150 Returns to the Road

I had a lot of fun fixing this truck. All hail the last of the 4.6 Modular V8. I wouldn't have done all this to a crappy EcoBoost. ********************************************************** AI DESCRIPTION: This video documents the extensive DIY rehabilitation of a 2010 Ford F-150 with over 300,000 miles. I bought the truck cheaply as a future company work vehicle, but it quickly turned into a much deeper mechanical project than expected. The repairs included multiple timing chain repairs, cam phaser and tensioner work, rod bearings, extensive wiring repairs from rat damage, cooling system service, transmission maintenance, suspension work, bodywork and paint, custom welded bumper reinforcement, salvage-yard interior repairs, and a long list of smaller fixes along the way. There were also plenty of breakdowns, road trouble, and moments where it looked like the truck might not be worth saving. In the end, the truck was put back on the road for under $5,000 total and has since accumulated 6000+ miles as a reliable company work truck.
