Problems like these are not isolated to Ford, I suspect this might be a valve train issue maybe burned valve. I work on all of them, and just replaced cam and lifters in a chevy 5.3, and have done cylinder heads for valve problems plenty of times too. Right now There is a Dodge 5.7 hemi in the shop now with a flat cam, lifters chewed up, and have seen several of those too, also valve/spring problems along with many MDS and variable valve timing issues on all of them, DI injectors, the list goes on and on. Technology and budget has definitely passed longevity and reliability, for diesel and gas engines.
All of these trucks are seeing major engine problems around 100k miles, some more and some less. From what I have seen, neglect has nothing to do with it. I have yet torn into any of these engines and found sludge or even tarnished metal from oil deposits. Honestly if someone asks me what truck I would recommend, I'm not sure I can give them a good answer. For now, I'm going to keep my 12v Cummins going.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
