Ford produced them for a year or two, IIRC. 5.4L converted to run PPG.

Google reveals all.

PPG? IIRC? i don't know what they mean. but my truck runs on natural gas and gasoline. Natural gas is 130 octane so it burns super clean. Allows me to go longer between oil changes. Natural gas in utah was 1.27 when i moved to Laramie. Super cheap to drive. Its a great truck. Runs the same on both fuels.

anything else?

Sorry. My phone auto corrected from CNG to PPG for some dumb reason.

Can you notice any power difference with the natural gas? Or does that fall under the "runs the same on both fuels" statement?

I imagine you are using a lot of Natural Gas when you can at these gas prices...

Thanks for the compliment. Just a 3" body lift and 35x12.50 Nitto Terra Grapplers. No trimming necessary with the torsion crank.
I've done a few things to it: AEM CAI, Edge Evolution tuner, true duals w/x-pipe and no mufflers, e-fans, interior and exterior mods.
Gears and lockers are next on the list, but my other toys are in need of some attention too.

No I have a tank in the back of my truck. That extra fuel door on the side of my truck has a quick connect male end that i hook up to put fuel in.

no power difference between the two fuels.

Wouldn't want to be a ricer staring at that in my rear view mirror. Looks mean and ready to eat Hondas and Toyotas.
