I have a 2004 5.4 triton ( my first truck ) I have had the truck since June and I have had absolutely zero problems other than one hub went bad and one automatic window fell. I have 129k miles and I'll play with it offloading mudding to rock crawling. I hear about bad stories with the 5.4's but I have never had a problem with the truck in general just the normal stuff. Also guys quick question, Like I said I have a lifted 2004 5.4 triton and I love my truck to death. I have a cai programmer and exhaust - I get 12-12.5 city. When I graduate I will be driving more and dont want to put the more miles on my truck cause it's a awesome truck! And I'm going to be driving more so more gas when I don't have more money. What should I do? Suggestions?

Google "dodge 4.7 rocker arm"
its common for them to just fall off causing a misfire, ive fixed 3 or 4 of them and thats whats given me grey hair.
They use 3 rediculous timing chains and are a bitch to line up. usually the rocker arms fall off because valve seats in the head drop and holds the valve open.
The only fix is a new head, which would be fine if the timing system was not so freakin' awful.
.... ok sorry, enough dodge rant
