Dara Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 naa got one currently driving it daily speaking from experiance,matter of fact my next one will be Ford again I just wouldent go braggin on the HP there a reliable engine cause there lacking lacking compared to what?
Greencoachdog Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 I love Fords but the 5.4 is gutless, the base engine in any Super Duty should be the Diesel now your playing with power,the 5.4 it has a hard time moving a half ton around let alone a real truck Half ton???... isn't that a 150?... I was always under the impression that F 150's were for wives, daughters, and "Rainbow Flag Boys"! ... the3/4 Super Duty 24 valve Flex Fuel 5.4 will stomp and mudhole in your and walk it dry!!!... you and wayne should really try to upgrade to a more manly vehicle... I'm serious! ... unless y'all are taking warm showers together in the wee hours of the morning...
canadadude Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 If you have an F250 Super duty with a 24 valve Triton 5.4.. you'll never have a stuck hitch!!! That is one of the best motors on the market today, should provide plenty of power for the truck. Sounds like a pretty sweet rig
Guest steel'n'esox Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 Can't be a Ford, you'd still be chained to the tree. Or the bumper would fall off the frame and be laying on the ground with hitch and chain intact, if it was the mighty Mopar you would pull the tree out of the ground by the roots and have a cord of fire wood to boot
Fish4Eyes Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 There is a bit of a difference. I smoked a Vette last week.

Dara Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 It wasn't much of a vette You gotta drive a 5.7 to know

misfish Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) Can you amagin if a Tundra tried that? FORD, built tough. Edited September 25, 2009 by misfish
Tybo Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 Too funny. Most of thees tug of wars are done wrong. If you don't load up the torque converts first. The truck that tugs first will win. The guy that was slower converter will stall and never be able to catch up. One thing I like about fords. Is they where nice enough to circle the problem.
kickingfrog Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 A urinating contest about vehicles. Oh so original. Yawn. Thanks for the tip Irish. I'm sure that will help someone out someday.
aplumma Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 That is one of the best motors on the market today, should provide plenty of power for the truck. Sounds like a pretty sweet rig I have seen the dawgs truck and it is nice ...except for the loose nut behind the steering wheel. Art The Titan owner
bassman87 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 With those pulls It doesn't have much to do with anything but traction.I had a ford with a 5.4 and it had plenty of power. I now have a Tundra with a 5.7 There is a bit of a difference. I smoked a Vette last week. ?
Bernie Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 Careful about attaching those to a tree. Those things can seize in solid. A torch and a sledgehammer are sometimes the only solution . Those 5.4 engines are one of the best on the market. Fair torque and horsepower too. The 4.6 came out in the early 90's and many of the Ford engines are based on it. I have never had one of my customers engines based on those have a major failure. As a matter of fact the only time I even had a valve cover off of one was a rocker broke on a Marquis 4.6. That was several years ago and the car was poorly maintained by the customer. Once in a while a high miler 5.4 will seep oil between the head gasket and the block but haven't had one yet that was serious enough to need to pull apart. The Dodge pickup gas engines also seem to be reliable in the last few years, too bad about the rest of the truck.
irishfield Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Posted September 27, 2009 Careful about attaching those to a tree. Those things can seize in solid. A torch and a sledgehammer are sometimes the only solution . Note the short chain Bernie! I didn't yank it.. I just drove away.
corvette1 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 don't know what year corvette that it was but my 05 has 400hp and the only smoking you would be doing is breathing my tire smoke
Sebastian Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 ... you actually sound like a Honda Civic owner to me.... Honda is the reason why Ford is on life support. Cars, fishing gear, you name it......Japs Rule.
Dara Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 don't know what year corvette that it was but my 05 has 400hp and the only smoking you would be doing is breathing my tire smoke It wasn't no 400hp one, and my Toyota has 381 (it was a cheapo 80's vette) Honda is the reason why Ford is on life support. Cars, fishing gear, you name it......Japs Rule. Ford isn't on life support. They are doing just fine on their own. I would take a Ford over my Toyota right now. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but there is nothing wrong with a Ford either. It comes down to looks between them 2 as far as i'm concerned.
