I was told to come herefrom f150 fourm. Im getting a 5.4 4v from a 99 expedition. No clue what year gator it came from. Only 129$ anything special I need to do?

 

I should tell you what I have. 2001 f150 crew 4x4 with 4.6 250,000 miles ive searched alot and there is so much info that says you need stuff and others that say you dont.

 

:d

...

 

What

 

Anyone? I want to pick up the engine tomorrow but I just want to make sure its worth it and not going to cause allot of problems

 

So, the 99' Expy had the Navi engine installed?

Anyway, try using Navi for your search...here's one.

yea expys dont have 4v's only navi's do, make sure you check

 

notice i said in the message i dont know what gater it came from. it must have been swaped into the expedition

 

 

If its already been swapped and you get the complete doner it should be easy. Just take EVEYTHING the wiring harness the ECM and all. Then just a mater of swapping it all over and getting it work..

 

that seems very familiar almost as if i told him that already on another forum

 

i cannot get the entire doner. my problem isnt what to get i dont have any problem with that. i can get all the parts i need cheap. my questions are about the actual install. like the link that was posted. i read through that and he was having problems with the heater hose being able to hook up. the breather. and then broke down soon latter. i work with my truck so after i put it in i want to make sure that im going to be good to go. the engine and tranny both have 250,000 miles on them and i dont know how much more they will last.

 

with the 4R100 tranny out of the gator i read in one post the linkage needs so be changed and both of the driveshafts wont line up is that right?

 

not sure on the linkage but im pretty confident the 4r100 is longer so you will need to have your drive shaft shortened

 

i guess i will have to measure the tranny lenght then when i go to the junkyard. if it is i dont want to do it. if thats the case then should i just rebuild a 4.6 or is there another 5.4 that i wouldnt have to swap to a longer tranny with?
