QUOTE(ThePaintedMan @ Sep 9 2013, 10:58 AM)  QUOTE(Krieger @ Sep 9 2013, 09:43 AM) Thanks George. I didnt know they switched. What year is your truck? Have you had to change out the intake manifold yet? This is a very common problem on the 4.6 and 5.4s as the plastic cracks or is degraded around the coolant crossover tube at the front of the engine. Keep an eye out for it. Fairly easy fix, just takes about an afternoon worth of work and $200 for a new manifold. Other than that, basically bulletproof (even with tons of boost I'm told). The 5.4s have a Aluminum Crossover Tube, but the Plastic WILL Crack somewhere! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
