ALSO LEARN BACK THEN, SOME MANUALS DO NOT COVER ALL ENGINE OPTIONS!
BUT WE HAD TO BUY THOSE SEPARATE THEN.
THIN MANUAL. AT THE DEALERS PARTS COUNTER.
THIS CAR HAD 3 ENGINE CHOICES, 1 IS TURBO
2 DIESELs AND 1 GAS. 2.8L v6
AND ARE NOT THE SAME AT ALL UNDER HOOD.

I suggest you Web search your term, "2005 Ford 6.0L EGR delete kit" and "2005 Ford 6.0L California cylinder heads". If you plan on using the truck in California, it will need to be Certified for California Emissions. This may be why the truck was cheap.

The truck can be used in other States. Some States do not have Emissions testing. Because of California Emissions equipment, many people view these Vehicles as inferior. They often do not perform as well daily, and durability may be compromised because of the added California Emissions hardware(Software too).

Try Rock Auto, call them about your situation. Used heads from wrecked trucks can work too. Car-parts.com can be helpful.

sounds like O2 sensors to me. I havent changed one on a mustang yet but I havent had any trouble with any others that I have done, they screw in like a spark plug but you will need a special tool, I hope this helps you.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_6df67de3b14de867

1-4-2-5-3-6
Now you need to know which cylinder is which. If you stand at the front of the truck looking at the engine, the number 1 cylinder is on the left closest to you. The left bank has cylinders 1-3-5 and the right bank has 2-4-6. So number 1 is at the left front and number 6 is at the right rear.

This is for the 3VZ-E SOHC 12V engine, 2959cc catalytic.
Stage 1 - 34nm stage 2 - tighten by 90 degrees stage 3 - tighten by 90 degrees-------- -------
the sequence is, with flywheel on your right, looking down on the engine...

top row of bolts on top bank - top Left to top right bolts 1,2,3,4 bottom row of bolts, on top bank - bottom left to bottom right bolts 3,4,5,6.
Top row of bolts on Bottom bank bolts 1,2,3,4 bottom row of bolts on bottom bank bolts 5,6,7,8 sequence is (top bank) 7,2,6,3,5,4,1,8 (bottom bank) 2,7,3,6,4,5,8--------
Hopefully this comes out tidy on the other end.

I have 4 diagrams....all for 1985, all VIN "E", and 2 are federal cars and 2 are for California cars.....I will post the first two Federal car and then the next two will be the California cars:
