Your truck wants a 5four. It's not going have it any other way.

But I agree, a 4.2 should do the trick

HAHAHAHA! really? 4.2? well then i guess maybe ive missed out on somthing! My buddie at work keeps trying to talk me in to an ecoboost swap..... Told him sounds expensive! LMAO! Well sounds like lhe timing gear broke....Was over a 1/2" deep of shavings in the oil pan. They think the girgling noise from the intake was caused from the motor being out of time but I'm not buying it...... I would think there would have been some kind of code thrown so motor #3 goes in old true blue...... HEY! only took about 6 weeks for this time! Atleast i had a warrenty. Kicker is the shop said i need to pay for new plugs and fluids. How this is my fault to need to pay for fluids is beyond me but what ever i just want to see how long it takes to get this one back and for it to gernade so i finally get my money back and do a swap since i have another car now.

I read over the contract i signed for the motor replacement and lloks like im eligible for a full refund given by the long block MFG after it fails one more time. Not really intrested in getting into an attorney and spending more money in court. I'm pretty confident this motor will fail after seeing how quick the first engine went. I just thank the good lord i never put the Vortech to her like i had originally planned
