Just wanted to give an update Got her back last night and worth every penny! Stayed with the 4.6 added a set of shorty headers cause my stock manifolds were shot. But she runs like a dream! Only put 50 miles on her so far but truck has never run this good! and with all that powder coating and shiney parts and new long block the enging compartment couldnt look any better!

 

enging compartment. Hmm thats a new one. Glad to hear something good came from an upsetting situation!

 

glad you finally got her back up and running!

where are the pics!

 

the engine it self and copartment looks just like a brand new truck now. So nice and clean to match the rest of the truck! She sure do look perrty! LMAO So the interior is all redone the body is about flawless and under the hood is cleanas a whistle! Makes me one happy guy! Oh and best of all it runs like a dream!

 

was dark last night oh trust me ill be picture whoreing her out as soon as i get a chance! I know everyone thinks im retarded for going with those bbk ceramic coated shorty headers but man do they look awsome!

 

Congrats on getting her back! Let's see some shots of the new long block!

 

I've never seen someone so excited over a 4six lol. Yea yea, its understandable in this case.

 

Hey now! my lil 4six was small but mighty!

 

i must say pretty excited got my iac undcrontrol and fixed tonight and idle is back perfevt only ladt thing i need to fix is my egr tube the runs from the egr to the driverside exhaust manifold. the one on there got cracked but found out the dealer no longer can get the so i have an exhaust leak. checked a few autopart stores and nothing nobody makes them. sooo got some searching to do. if any one has any suggestions id be very appricative. but the nwe engine has good power and just enough for what i need. truck looks pretty and thats the way its gonna stay. cime spring im gonna find a true blue lighting to learn the hp stuff on!

 

i got mine from o'reilly's when mine broke for like 54 bucks.

 

I had quite a few at one time, -probably still do, in a box somewhere. Unless it was thrown out.





Id look on eBay. However, you can stiil get a new one from the dealership since they're ALL the same for the 4six from 97-03. You could also fix a crack, -that particular pipe SHOULD be tigged. Or migged w/stainless.

BTW, -I have that factory nipple that threads into the manifold/EGR pipe end. I just seen a 4six nipple fumbling thru a drawer of miscellaneous crap the other day.

 

our local one said no along with the dealer autozone napa and auto value. if u can see if the have one for a 02 f150 4.6 romeo motor id pay u extra for it

 

if you do jbrew id be willing to buy one at full price. mines rusted so bad we looked at tig welding but be tough. let me know and ill make the drive and pay what ever u want for them.

 

j-brew where where you when i needed to replace the friggin nipple... we had to fix the treads on the old one and re-use it...

 

yea bought that stupid nipple from the dealer today for 30 bucks! lol
