But seriously, ford offered more 5.4 4x4 then 4.6 4x4 so that would make sense that you see more 5.4s and i see more 4.6 2wds here

jbrew,
I don't have a garage at my house so I use the local do it yourself garage. $15.00 CDN for a bay with a 4 post lift. All the tools I could need for the Job. They even have the clutch line disconnect tool. I needed a pilot bearing puller so I went to the local tool place and bought one while my truck was on the lift. They loaned me their car, stopped the clock and reimbursed me for the cost of the tool. Compare that to laying on my back in the snow to R&R a clutch. No thanks.

6.5 diesels suck the big one...even Ill admit that.
ROFLMAO.... what good is power if the truck keeps breaking? Ford has higher tow ratings... that says something.
Damn things cant take any real abuse.
