now i just find this to be bull****.
from rambos post -
If that is true, wtf, why would they release a truck, then 5 months later come out with a whole nother version of the same model with a new engine?
i just find that really stupid.
from rambos post -
The truck will launch in the fall of 2008 (as a 2009 model) with:
4V DOHC PFI 3.7l V6 (about 280 ft.lbf at 2000 rpm) (not sure about transmission)
3V SOHC PFI 4.6l V8 with 6speed auto (Explorer combo - 292 hp and 300 lb.-ft)
3V SOHC PFI 5.4l 6speed auto (Expedition combo - 300 hp and 365 lb.-ft ) - likely with somewhat more power than this (about 325hp and 380lb-ft)
NO BOSS ENGINES
2009 1/2 Model (Februaury 2009) will add:
2V SOHC PFI 6.2l V8 BOSS engine (iron block, aluminium head) with 6speed auto (425hp)
4V DOHC PFI 3.7l V6 (about 280 ft.lbf at 2000 rpm) (not sure about transmission)
3V SOHC PFI 4.6l V8 with 6speed auto (Explorer combo - 292 hp and 300 lb.-ft)
3V SOHC PFI 5.4l 6speed auto (Expedition combo - 300 hp and 365 lb.-ft ) - likely with somewhat more power than this (about 325hp and 380lb-ft)

I could see the v8's Happening, if they make a more power 3V 5.4 i hope they have parts that can swap on to the current 3V 5.4L..... Wonder if we could swap that 6 speed on the current 5.4L as of now?

How long was the gap tho? like how long after the 97 came out did they wait to come out with the 5.4

I do take this story with a large grain of salt. For a car related company to not know what diesel engine is in the super duty, is bad.

97 truck was for sale in January 96, then 5.4L was in lots in Sept 96.
Keep in mind the 4.6L was first available then and with 220hp seemed like it would be ok for most guys. The old 5.)l had then 200 adn the 5.8L had 220 I think. BUt of course the 5.8L had mcuh more tq than the new 4.6. The 97 & 98 5.4L had 235 hp but much more tq than 4.6 due to longer stroke. For 99 model 5.4 was bumped to 260.
