Sorry to hear about your misfortune.
Thanks Marc. It's definitely a learning lesson. Won't happen again. I will enjoy my 4.6 though, lol.

Depends on what you want to do with it. If you tow, the 5.4 is definitely worth it and you get a stronger transmission too with the 5.4.

Trading any vehicle is a losing proposition financially almost every time.

I would just mod the 4.6 though.

I'm not so sure. That 2007 is a nice truck. Take a look at the window sticker.

Put your current vin in this link to see its window sticker.

I have an opposite but similar process when I buy something. I see what I want, research the Hell out of it to the point where I get overloaded with info and almost say forget it. Then I relax, make a solid decision that I'm happy with and then after I'm done I say to myself, "Could I have gotten something better?" Then I start second guessing my purchase and start looking up more cr@p.

I do this with everything. Buying footwear is a long process. I go to every store in the area, compare prices, styles, fit, etc. Buy the shoe or sneaker, then don't wear it for several days in case I change my mind and want to return it.

My problem is that I want the best without getting ripped off and I go through so much trouble to ensure I'm comfortable with my purchase.

Now I try to just make a decision after a little solid research and do it because I hate the long process.

In other words, stick with your 4.6.

Keep the 4.6 truck and put a S/C on it. I just recieved the new issue of MM/FF today, they have a small write up about the Tork Tech S/C for the 4.6 2v PI head engines. It's basically designed for the 99-04 mustang GT's but it will fit your truck. They have several versions, from one with the TVS 1.9L to the magnuson M112 kit to just the I/C manifold and pulley setup that uses the 03-04 cobra blower, great for a whipple or KB mammoth or any 03-04 cobra upgrade blower. They also have removable ears on the manifold so you can install spacers to fit a 5.4 2v, and they have 3v ears also, so basically it will fit 4.6 2v-3v and 5.4 2v-3v.

If you really want to do something wait until the 2010 FX2 comes out and see if your like it. I haven't really seen any good pics online to justify if I like it or not but I do love the interior on the 2010 Harley.

Now what did you have to do that greencrew?? I had my mind made up that I was going to keep my truck...lol. Maybe I will try to sell it and get the money out of it that I orginally put down instead of trading. Like others have said, if I trade it in, I will most likely lose money.

Thanks for the advice bro. You're part of the reason why I want the red FX2! I blame you! lol. Your truck is sick man, very nice.

Back in December I bought my 2008 new... I went in looking for a used FX4 with the 5.4. I walked out with what they had... a new XL with the 4.6. I have put 9,000 miles on it and it has plenty of guts for me.
