Thanks and for V8's, from 2006-08 the big issues were spark plugs. Apparently it was a design issue that Ford remedied mid-2008, but mine was not included. The spark plugs were difficult to remove and would break inside the head, so they had to be drilled out. With mine the spark plugs had already had been replaced which was good news. Exhaust manifolds were another issue, and so far mine is OK on that also.

If you can provide any more details about the gauge I'd appreciate it
