Question Married to a 98 F150 5.4L with a bad heart....

I have married a 98 F150 5.4l with a Triton engine.

I had no idea it had a bad heart and a busted up front end. But, when I marry a vehicle, I'm with it till the end. I'm committed.

So, I'll call the truck Titus.

Well, Titus is fixin' to get an remanufactured engine from PowerTrain and a whole new front end at the same time.

One month in Titus started missing and needed a new COP on cylinder 8. Five hours later cylinder 7 started missing. Thought it was COP, so bought 7 more......wasn't. Was bad compression.

The front end sounded like it had ghosts rattling chains. Got that checked out and sway bar linkage was dangling. All the other goodies were worn out too.

I am going to have the fuel injectors replaced with the engine, but I can't figure out what pounds/hour I need for Titus.
Does it matter?
Please help.......

Good for you my man. It's hard to find a good relationship these days. You could send them off to get sonic cleaned and rebuilt if they're in good shape I believe. There's guys here who know more than I could ever fathom about these mod motor. Best resource is @Jbrew and @carcrazygts they'll get you squared away.

You can get them on ebay for about $100 for a rebuilt set.

Yes, it's a Lady who found an abused male truck, then, then fell in love. Now that's rare right there lol.

Charli got her answer correct...19's.
