In a recent article from a 4x4 publication rating "The 10 Best Used Truck Bargins" they mentioned the 400M engine as one to avoid. Why and can these problems be fixed without an engine swamp?

Well I had one im my old F-150 Ranger and I loved that engine. That engine had over 275,000km on it and I put it through hell (The truck found its dimise after I hit a on coming Truck). 3 months after the acident my friend baught the truck for parts, to my surprise after sitting hafe the winter it started on the first try and ran like a top. Man I miss that truck, as for over heating I had no problem except for when I had a winter front on it and it was warm outside.
