2000 Ford F-150 4. 2l v6 head gasket failure. My vehicle began overheating and smoking white smoke about 2 weeks ago. Also noticed that heater would only put out cool air, unless the engine started to overheat. Ended up needing a new head gasket, which come to find out are notorious on the 4. 2l v6 motors. I caught it before any motor damage was done so no added expenses were needed. However it still was not a cheap fix. I know of at least a hundred 4. 2l v6 F-150 owners who have had this problem and most would be willing to help further an investigation. I do still have the old gasket if needed.
