Make sure and clean all of the metal out of the oil pan and oil pump suction tube.
It seems like Ford hired the stupidest engineers they could find in the last ten years. They have had some major flops in the engine area.
1) The overhead cam setup on the 4.0 is a complete night mare. Timing chains have been used for fifty years. Why do you need to drive one on each end of the motor?? No one else does not do that. Then you make it rub around a metal guide all of the time. Real dumb move. If you want more wrap around then use a bearing in an idler.
2) The spark plug issue on several different engine models. 5.4 with only Four threads in an aluminum head to hold the spark plug in. Then making people think they should go 100K between plug changes when new plugs may cost $70-$100. Then causing head damage in the thousands.
3) The 6.0 Diesel junk motor. I have seen some articles state that the warranty issues on that one motor cost Ford 1 billion dollars in warranty claims/cost.
I was really thinking about the next vehicle being a Ford after getting burnt on my GM bonds. I don't think I can afford to own a Ford with the engine troubles they have. I can't afford the high repair cost on relatively low mileage motors.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
