Way under powered!
I have a 2002 F 150 4X4 w/the 4.6L V8. I cannot believe how underpowered this thing is. I have to believe something is not right. Question: Is this a common complaint, and/or is there some relatively inexpensive solution9or otherwise) that won't compromise the factory drive train?

Hands-down a tuner is best at starting to wake it up - preferrably a custom tuner for the most gains & flexibility ...

NYfordguy and Pat - Head over here and get yourselves a tuner , It's a night and day difference in these trucks..
I've read awesome reviews on and would recommend the Edge Evolution and SuperChips Xcal2...
Before I did that tho , a good after market intake (AF1 = #1) and definitly a Magnaflow cat back system .. It's gotta breath..

just a bad choice
Seriously i dont see a problem with the truck if it running properily and has no performance issues, ud better thank the lord that its running! This truck has alot of power in the rear wheel drive models, however with a 4 x 4 , definitely ud notice a power reduction! Its due to the fact of a heavier drivetrain! You didnt do your homework, it is wat it is! So live with it, or trade it in for exactly wat you want! If you gonna do mods just remember to be prepare for spending alot of money, and having alot of driveability problems.Alot with the price of gas going up everday mods with get u in the wallet!

these modulars are bad about getting gunked up.. run some sea foam or B12 through the intake manifold and it should help u out. theres alot of cheapo freebee mods u can do to it in one weekend.. gut the precats. and cut the stock airbox for better flow. port out the throttle body and plenum. clean the MAF.
