You might want to MAKE SURE your engine isn't an interference engine. My buddy, who is ironically a mechanic, blew up his 2006 or 2007 with the 4.7 when the timing belt broke whilst on the highway. It had right at 90,000 miles and was discussing with his wife he needed to change it the following weekend. When the belt broke, it took out 4 of the pistons along with 5 or 6 valve. I would not wait.
