Default I want to know everything about my 08 screw cab

I have the 4.6 engine. Want to know what gear ratio it has? Also rear seats do they only fold up? What should i worry about in the future any usual problems?

Your axle code is inside the driver's side door...has production date, VIN, interior trim, exterior paint etc. You could also look on the rear axle also. There should be a sticker with the ratio on it. I haven't heard of too many problems with the 4.6. I have the 5.4 and am well aware of several issues involving mine.

The rear seats only fold up but there is a thread or two about removing the rear seat for amp installs or to get the factory remote keyless code.

It has no ***** :/ However the 4.6 is honestly the most reliable besides the 4.2. Gotta watch out for blown spark plugs though because it is the 2V not the 3V.

Are you sure they fixed that problem for the 04-08 2V? Did they change the thread amount for the spark plug? I don't know about the generation difference for that engine. Used to have a 98 4.6, and I always wondered if a spark plug was gonna blow outta the head.
