Are the bad injectors on the early 05's only on the 5.4s or are they on the 4.6 also. Thinking about changing them out after warrenty is up.

 

What's considered bad injectors? First I've heard of this..What do you mean?

 

I've read of several injectors sticking open locking the engine, seams to all be early 05's

 

'05+ mostly, 5.4 3Vs only.

 

thanks, I got a 4.6

 

Any fuel injected engine has the potential to hydrolock. An injector can become faulty either from a defect when assembled/machined or from foreign contamination. Usually minute contamination in the fuel system causes the injector to "freeze" open allowing a constant flow of fuel into a particular cylinder. This condition as I mentioned above is inherent to ALL fuel injected engines not just Ford's.

 

Yea right, but doesnt seem to happen as often as on Fords. Just plain poor quality control or penny pinching by low bidding on the parts by Ford during manufacturing. Completely rediculous. I dont know what Mercedes uses, but I had injectors that were still performing at 180k miles. Should be a fail safe to protect against that kind of failure.

 

It happens more on Fords because Ford sells more F150's than any other VEHICLE sold by anyone. It's all relative. There are many Ford trucks and cars that have over 200,000 miles and more with original injectors.
