The issue with these trucks is the exhaust manifold. The bolts in particular have been known to break and cause excessive noise and exhaust leaks. To fix the manifold, my son has told me, is a bitch. If the stud breaks off, then you have to tap the manifold. To do this you have to take the head off and the engine has to be partially removed. A major PITA. Mine had it but we fixed it.
As for the jackets, they were a promotional item when you bought a certain FORD truck about 2000. I think it was the wrangler or something cowboyish.
