Helo everyone .

I am comming from the panther platform (crown vic ,mercury marauder town car ) wich I have been driving exclusively for almost 20 years. I still own a few of them wich one of them is sporting a 5.4 2V with a 5 speed manual making 390/382 at the wheels Naturally aspirated and clocking the 1/4 in a 13.079 @ 105 1.8 on the 60' and that is just a start . Iam planning to run low 12's still NA later this year .


Anyways long story short I got my dads 2010 F150 xlt with the 5.4 3V and will daily drive it . I am well aware of the common issues with the 5.4 3 v of those years and will try top adress them as time permits .
I am the kind of guy that has big plan for this truck as it belonged to my dad and has huge sentimental value .
So there it is

 

Welcome to the forum, enjoy your Dad's truck.

 

Welcome to the site!

 

Welcome to the forum..

thank you very much guys

 

Welcome! I've owned several Crown Vics myself.

 

if its been well taken care of, don´t even bother worrying about it. the 2009-2010 5.4s are very solid. i have a buddy that has one with 180k miles, and he doesn´t treat it very well but it runs like a top

 

crown vic are slow and pretty empty as far as equipment but reliable like no tomorrow

 

That is good to hear but I just cant leave well alone . Just like I did with all my crown vic I went the extra way making sure that everything was on top of the game . The 00 to 03 4,6 had timming chain guide issues that needed replacement or would cause severe damage issue or engine faillure so I did them I even degreed the cams while I was at it .
I am going to play it safe . I have made the oil change in due time when my dad had it and it's fairly low mileage 75k miles .

Plugs are due and off course living in the rust belt I no longer have exhaust manifold left neither the studs so I am seriously thinking pulling the engine and doing everything on the engine stand .
