I too am plagued with annoying problems. I have an F150 too. Just had to replace the starter, water pump and Uv joints. I am a decent mechanic so I don't have the labor costs. Shortly after these repairs I got laid off. Just know you are not the only one. Up voted and followed. I hope shit gets better for you.
