My 5.4 2V KR had 150k when i traded it off and it never gave me a bit of problems.. Then got the 07 4.6 and that damn thing was a dog, traded for the 07 FX2 with the 5.4 and it had around 85k when i traded it for the eb. The 3v seemed like a hot rod though compared to the 2v

5.0 4v doesnt even come close to comparing to the 4.6 2v But considering there's a difference of over a decade and a half in design, its not all that surprising.

My 4.6 is fun, but its not fast by any means. I'd love to get my hand on a donor 5.0 car/truck and swap it into Fiddy

Nope! I'm good, just wishing for a bit of variety instead of the same darned thing every day! Apparently, we're going to get some, they changed the forecast and we're now supposed to get rain and snow later in the week...I love driving a Suzuki Samurai (my daily driver) in the slush...NOT!!

I still do not understand why so many humans populate such a place as that. The whole upper half of the US should still just be a few explorers and crazy mountain men as far as I'm concerned. The sanity of those enduring such winters needs to be questioned. On the other hand ddellwo came from there to the wonderful place of Texas, so maybe my insanity theory doesn't hold ice water.

Lived here since birth so it's not to bad. I enjoy my few days in Orlando Florida every winter but after four days of traffic, constant noise, and huge crowds I want to go home.
