Just a heads up. Do not buy anything from Manteno Ford. They are the biggest liars and cheats around. I just bought a truck there yesterday. I knew it had issues, but not major issues. They tried to hide that the motor had major issues. So, long story short, I tried to get my money back, less than 24 hours after the purchase, and they pretty much told me to get screwed.

The shop told me the heads need to be pulled. When I test drove the truck I noticed there was fuel on the battery I figured it had to be a fuel line or injecter but it is something to do with the heads. when it sets and runs you try to find it you can't. So John from river valley truck repair in kankakee which is a friend of mine told me to not to wast money on the truck ill go with what he says
