First off, I LOVE F150's!! So I'm always looking at what people have done to personalize their trucks.. Anyways, has anyone ever noticed that if you're at a store, or pumping gas, or whatever, it seems all ford v8's with mod motors have the same starter noise??

 

I notice that all the time. You can always tell it's a Ford just by that distinct sound.

 

Almost as distinct as a 7.3!

 

Yep, I hear it all the time.

Same with the old Chevrolet 350's of the 70's and 80's. Doesnt matter if its a car or a 1 ton truck, all have the same starting sound.

 

and dodges!!!

 

How about the way the doors sound when they close...

 

or how the powersteering whines no matter what

 

hmm starters, yes. especially mopar, those friggen neons are like 1 of a kind.
doors, not really, maybe which era of vehicle.
powersteering, too many are neglected lol

diesels, thats gonna get hard real soon.

 

No power steering whine here, but alot of Fords have the signature p/s whine! And yes, doors sound same slamming them shut, or the rattle of something accompanying it! Its funny, other day I heard the famous ford starter and a nice exhaust followed... thought it was a truck but it was a retired cop crown vic.. still had the spot light but had a raised hood... wonder what he had hidden

 

I've noticed that too. All the Tritons seem to have the same starter sound. If I'm walkin through a parking lot and hear one start up behind me I know it's either a 5.4 or 4.6.

You can get really technical and tell it's an 04 5.4 if you hear the cam phasers.
