I do have the 5.4 Tide. I took it to the dealership and got this rattling fixed and the paperwork on it said:
2007 Dark Sandstone Metallic
SuperCrew cab
5.4 Triton v8.
I showed him the Carfax report and he showed me a sticker under the hood that said 5.4. I told him that I found another sticker that said 4.6 and said that he didn't know why it was there.
But mine does have the 5.4 triton!!!

just put some street tires on, even my 5.0 185 hp (when new) used to could turn a street tire over.
One old-timers trick - when you pull off the line, yank hard right/left on the wheel, then straighten out quick. If you have a single pull axle (non-posi, non-limited slip), it should get the lightly loaded tire broke free, just keep the hammer down.
Just find it hard to believe that with HP approaching the reported 300hp on the 5.4L, the tires are that difficult to at least 'bark'.
Ah, yes, the silly things I did in my youth (remember, I was a lot younger in '89 - heck - Bush #1 just got into office, Clinton was still screwing up and apparently every other direction and thing in Arkansas, and gas was cheap-cheap).

Nooooooooo, they make any American V8 sound GREAT! They are my favorite muffler, the only reason you don't hear much about them anymore is because they are so loud most people get tickets for their vehicles being too loud.
By the way, I figured out why I couldn't spin tires, the floormat blocks it a bit, I moved it and was able to spin them today

I just had a clip on here with my '93 f150 and it has dual exhaust and dual cherry bomb glasspacks. When i was recording though i had the mic to close. You can find it if you want.I also have headers on mine though.
