I am the guy with two of these trucks, a 1987 and a 1996. Never have had any major problems with either one, unless it is with the fuel tanks. Have done some of the work on them myself, but once for each of them I had to take them in to my Ford dealer to get the problems solved. Have not had any problems since then. Good luck.
