All Mills dealerships earn an A+ rating at the Better Business Bureau as a result. I wanted to get ahead of traffic that was coming. The man brought him a 5. The second only around 30,000 thousand. I suspect even if the bore spacing of these engines were wider the 4. I love Ford V8s, long live the 4.
I had 2 trans go out. This picture shows a failure along the front of the manifold; various sources will show various locations of failure. Of course the wife did not want anything to do with it now. The author experienced an intake failure on the engine of his 2001 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor at 128,000 miles. I should have left well enough alone in this case, but at least my engine is clean.
We never got the 4. It has never needed any oil added between changes. On a couple occasions it stop all together, but after I turned to key off it started back up and run fine. Of course the wife did not want anything to do with it now. Even the transmission and rear end have survived amazingly. If you have criticism and suggestions about this post, please leave a message in the comment area regarding 1999 Ford F150 4. Blow em out and they run good again! Had I not known what to do it may have resulted in an accident.
At age 61 I still enjoy that sound! That should be viewed as a testament to refinement and ever-expanding engine technology. Again this car looks factory new and I love it , but a quart of oil every 800 miles is extensive for a fanatic like me and now has me thinking of selling it……? The harmonic balancer on the cast iron block is weighted heavier as well. When compared to the 5. My son just swapped a 98 4. Ford will not even consider the thought of making this manufacturer's defect right.
There was pedal left and since it was an interceptor it was chipped for 141 mph. I will not go back the Auto Shop, was highly recommended, do any repairs. Find a different garage with a decent reputation. I still own the 93. It has never left me stranded. I feel like I am driving my wife's car and not a truck.
Quite the mpg difference in one model year. I never expected to have this truck past about 4-5 years when I bought. These are robust engines that can often be found in very tortuous use, such as police and taxi service. So how in the hellnit. The only weak point was the big end cap set-up which could fail at the bolts if the engine was taken beyond the red-line habitually 5,500rpm max no problem with the factory bottom end. Common advice found is to change the plugs only when the engine is cool and to be gentle throughout the process. The 4V motors are beautiful though.
It only has 500,000 kms on it. The engine was running rough and loud, thus I pulled over on the side of the road. Now almost 15 years have passed! Model year 1999 Year of manufacture 1999 First year of ownership 2001 Most recent year of ownership 2005 Engine and transmission 5. On to the car itself, I love it!!! I have a couple Of buddies that have the 5. This repair does pose a higher degree of complexity than a similar repair on an overhead valve engine. At age 61 I still enjoy that sound! Thank you writing the article I have enjoyed it tremendously. Beginning in 1996, Ford placed intake manifolds on the 4.
So, I would assume your are in decent shape If they changed to the aluminum block in 02. Your application you referenced as 99. In return, they offered next to no improvement in power or fuel mileage. After about 23 years, I was starting to have little niggling problems with almost everything on the car. Stude had a weight problem while the Ford had a girth issue. I bet few people here know that.
