Ummmm......thanks for the help....sorta. If you guys read the original post you'll see that I do NOT have the Triton motor I do have the 32v Intech.

btw I don't need any rims I'm currently ridin' on 23's

 

Its literally all the same. If he really wanted to be specific, its the modular Ford V8...be it 5.4, 4.6, 2v, 3v, 4v. Its not a piece of shit...Lightnings used them, Ford GTs used them, and now the GT500 uses them. Maybe you just didnt do it right..not to mention the supercharged Accord that has nothing to do with this thread, "mane."

Btw I worked at a Lincoln dealership...so yeah

 

Not all the same. GT and GT500 use forged internals with compression ratio's designed for boost. The Lightning though not forged used L specific rods and pistons that differ from the run of the mill 2v 5.4. And again,.. set up for low compression for boost.

That and someone said the Ford Expedition and the 2004 Navigator had the same engine,.. nope. Early Expedition had 2v motors,.. 2005 and later had 3v motors. 2004 Navi has a 4v motor. Each is (Other than the shortblock) are completely different from each other.

9.85:1 compression motors dont exactly lend themselves to accepting a lot of boost on pump gas. 6 - 8 PSI would be really pushing it on 93 octane. Then asking that motor to push around a 5800 lb beast,.. its only a matter of time before either the transmission or engine fails.

I couldnt be bothered to go on Wiki and explain all the differences between the years or include the V10 thats also related. Thanks for getting the specifics

 

Is Wiki is what they use for tech reference over in the demilitarized zone these days? Had you known, you would not have needed to look it up on 'Wiki'. But you 'worked' (Past tense) for a Lincoln dealer (Doing what,.. parking cars?),.. so your credibility should be better than anyone here. That is why you emphasized the dealer correct? So you would be taken more seriously?

No,.. instead you pulled what ever it was out of your ass because you had no idea what you were talking about. So that way someone else like you who doesnt know either, spreads the same incorrect information and assumes it is correct because he read it here at Ford Tech from you. Nice one. Showing off a Miata in your sig as your pride and joy, hardly makes you an expert on Ford engines. LOL. Here in Ford Tech we pride ourselves on good accurate information. If we dont know we will look it up, and if we dont have time to look it up we wont post up something just for the sake of posting.

And no,.. the V10 is not related,.. its only found in 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. Not Navigators or Expeditions. Navigator has 1 engine option and 1 transmission option where the Expedition actually has 2 options,.. the 4.6 and the 5.4,.. neither of which ever included the 4v engine. Have a nice day.

I had not committed to memory the specific years the 2v, 3v, and 4v trucks were offered, but I knew enough that they were all quite similar to each other. I dont work for them anymore because Im back in school.

Yes, I use Wiki; anybody who doesnt think it's a credible source doesnt know how it works. Wikipedia has as many angry nerds tappin' away at their keyboards (including myself; obviously not on Ford pages though) making sure the information on there is correct as places like Ford specific sections (or any other manufacturer) have blind fanboys who dont know as much as, say, you. I jumped in this thread when it was in GCC before it was moved, else I wouldntve said anything at all.

Just because I have a Miata in my sig doesnt mean I think of it as my pride and joy. The picture is taken at that angle because the right side fender is white, so it doesnt make it look so bad. Nobody rips on my car more than I do.

Saying the V10 is not related is like saying the 3.8/4.3 Chevy V6s arent related to the 350, or the M3 V8 isnt related to the M5 V10, when they are really just 2 cylinders short.

 

Why do people have such a problem with Wiki ? It is not that bad of a program.
Before Wiki existed we all used the Encyclopedia. Even before that If you wanted creditable information you went to the Library and found the book with the info needed using the Index card system.. Now that the Encyclopedia and Wikipedia are available at the push of a button some of you get all butt hurt about it.

 

Because Wiki is shared_user generated and contains many errors, thus why 99% of colleges do not allow it as a credible source for information.

 

That's a good reason. heh

 

Exactly,. its NOT a credible source. Its like anyone coming here to Ford Tech and reading what we have posted as pure reliable source information. It can be very erroneous just as Mr Miata showed us.

And very true,.. my college professor will not accept anything from wiki,.. I can use the references that are posted on the bottom of wiki postings,.. but no direct wiki material. No professor will accept anything directly from wiki. It is not what is considered collegiate reference material.
