At that point I knew the cam had to come out so I could remove the remnants of the busted lifter. Horsepower is 365 and torque is 420 lb-ft at a nice low 2500 rpm so unless you need the rumble of a V8 it's by far the best combo of performance and economy. For 2012, the Lariat Limited model is no longer offered, but one of the nine F-150 versions should be close enough. The highest gross combined rating truck, trailer, cargo, passengers for any F-150 is 17,100 pounds and these pickups are among the heaviest half-tons. Next up was the lower intake manifold and the valve covers - basically enough to get the engine roughly sealed up. Window switches are all lift-to-close but the power door lock bar is horizontal so if Rover puts his paw on the right part of the switch you could get locked out.
I did have to spend a while hunting down various bolts and small parts like the thrust plate - this project sat in my garage for a good six months between teardown and this part of the reassembly so stuff has a tendency to get scattered and hidden. I had an F-150 with a built 302 that would start fine but once it got warm it would not turn over hardly at all.

In the middle of this, my luck struck again - at some point while the engine was torn apart, I managed to loose the bolts for the pressure plate. As the above notes indicate, this is pretty darned good for a higher mileage motor. Getting all of the studs and nuts figured out was a real chore, though - even worse than the intake manifold. So it has to stay competitive: The standard V6 is more powerful than any other pickup V6 and the same horsepower as Chevy's 1. Porting the heads should also increase miles per gallon.

I had to remove the intake on the Suburban and replace the intake gaskets about 10,000 miles after the rebuild and the lifter valley was still as pristine as the day I assembled the motor.
The rearview camera is good for the view behind the tall tailgate and on the navigation screen has colored lines to indicate the width of the truck and centerline for hitching a trailer; however, this display is not predictive and does not move the colored lines with the steering wheel so it applies only in straight reversing.
