Banker with tools vs Cylinder Head
It has 220 KM (125K Miles). The truck is immaculate so worthy of a few dollars but not an additional $3 grand. it's the 5.4 2V I'm going to continue the battle and get to head of things.

Fuel Shut Off Help
Thanks for the Response. Not #10 fuse on the 2003. Relay 203 (PCM) #32, 33,34 is the Fuel Pump Relay, PCM and sensors. Relay 303 is Fuel Pump shut off but that relay doesn't exist. I'll try the crank sensor if I can locate it.- rvanbeers

Relative Compression Results and Question
