You may be able to ask a Dealer to look at the Vin# ID for the truck to verify. The older 1999 used 3 valves and then the next year or so the engine changed to 4 valves. This was also when the 1999 body style was carried into 2000 for the Heritage Edition. Can not say if the old style body made as a 2000 Heritage had a different engine. The older models did not have "Cam Phasers" which were problematic on the newer generation engines. Sometimes parts stores have access to Vin# requirements in their parts manuals.
if you disconnect the hoses from the heater core,you can buy a plastic tee connector in different shapes and install it in the hoses to bypass the heater core.
Check bypass hose, on THE water valve to the heater core.The watervalve may not be returning the water back to the front of the engine the back of the heads are running too warm,it has to circulate in the bypass hose or through the heater core,common for chrysler v8,s .Bypass the watervalve completely to see if it runs cooler. If not,try to find a better radiator more cooling capacity!
pritty much. The lifters are making the sound. Chevy motors do it as well. I do not like it but both manufacturers say it is ok. I do not hink they should have metal on metal like that. The only 2 things that the triton was known for is the head gaskets leaking from the head on the rear passenger side of the motor down on the starter and coolant leaking from the heater core hose down on the passenger rear coil and spark plug. Good motors they seem to run for ever.
I'm a Ford service adviser. There are many reasons for the
abs warning indicator to come on. The usual cause is from a
faulty speed sensor. Either a wheel speed sensor or the
differential speed sensor. I don't think the light is related to your
vandalism. You might want to take the truck to an auto parts store and
have them read the codes for you. Most auto parts stores will do this
for free.
Good Luck
