Way to tell what year my reman engine is?
I did an engine swap with a (new) reman 5.4. My truck is an '01. I know the engine is at least an 05 but would like to know for sure if there is a way to verify what year it is. Thanks.

Like I said in your other thread, you do not have a coolant temp sensor. I don't think the 5.4 ever had one, if it did, it was before 2000. If you have an 05 or newer 5.4 2 valve, it's out of a van. Trucks went to 3 valve in 04.
Just because you don't have a coolant temp sensor does not mean it's an 05 or newer. |
I totally get what you stated. I am ok with the cylinder head sensor. The reason I am trying to identify the year of the engine is when I need to do additional maintenance I know what year parts to ask for. Also the
reference to at least being a 2005 is because my repair manual stated as such. It could even be a newer engine than that. Just trying to validate. Otherwise all else is ok. |
You should be able to use 2001 parts. There's very little difference from 1999 to 2003, and if it's working fine in a 2001 truck it's been properly adapted.
It's certainly not a 2005 or newer F-150 engine, last year of the 2 valve 5.4 in a F-150 was 2003 and 2004 Heritage model. The Super Duty and Expedition changed over in 2005. I don't know where your repair manual is coming up with that. The only 2 valve 5.4's made in 2005 or later went into E-series vans. 1999 and later F-150's with 5.4 2 valve had PI (power improved) heads, as did Super Dutys and Expeditions. The vans never had PI. 97's and 98's were not PI. So - if you think you have a 2005 or newer 5.4 2 valve, it came out of a van and did not have PI heads. Manifolds are not compatible between PI and non-PI. I'm betting you have a PI that originally came out of a 99 to 03. |
