those ought to be held as the standard to which everything else is determined. however, virtually whatever else pales in comparison. And the Toyota 2f/3f (based upon the chevy stovebolt 6 of training course) Wow, because of the outpour of appreciation, it looked good so I got it, right here's the advertisement lmk what you men assume Oops, didn't mean to be cryptic, it slid my mind that the "5.0" was technically a 4.9 l.
initially order of biz though, I'm fairly big, and the guiding wheel to seat is rather slim ... man that wheel cover was not ribbed for my satisfaction:-LRB- The only problem I have actually ever seen with trucks like that, are broken shifters. Ford made them a little too difficult and they would certainly snap right at the floorboard.
Maintain in mind the gas mileage will not be the ideal in the globe, yet it will certainly damn sure run for life. Never ever had an engine issue.
When the exhaust rusted off behind the cat it just seemed like a diesel. I question just how hard a swap it would certainly be to get it into my '97 F150 that has an anemic 4.6 ... has a hard time obtaining out of it's own method ...

Very extremely confined engine bay lengthwise. yeah, had already figured that out ... it was a tongue in cheek blog post, that I really did not explain ... my poor In respond to spitfirebill: I added that point since when I needed to discover a substitute 4.9 for my F150, I needed to go through every one in every junkyard in South Jersey to discover one that wasn't sludged up actually severely.
Bernie: Which is a much better van, while we're going to speak concerning a couple of concerns of these vans, however I I'm clearly not going to come out and state one is far better than the other. Bernie: Well, they're essentially the exact same lorry.
Mark: So, well, allow's begin with engines then. Let's speak regarding engine and actually just to specify that the model years, we're going to start from 2000 and up, you know, I mean, these vans have actually been around for a lengthy time.
And, you understand, for a variation of a Chevy van has been around given that, you recognize, around that time also. We're not going to get back right into, into the earlier stuff. Considering that 2000, I suggest, Ford's, you can get these with V6 engines or V8s. V8s are far more prominent and I would not actually advise a V6 engine.
So, you know, Fords, and the majority of them feature the Triton V8. There's a great deal of concerns with these engines. In the earlier 2000 spark plugs with blow to these engines, because they really did not have adequate threading in the ignition system, which created troubles. And commonly that would take place when you could be in a 15 passenger bus going up a hillside with a tons of people and all of a sudden boom, an ignition system pops out and you're stranded.
Really very cramped engine bay lengthwise. yeah, had actually currently figured that out ... it was a tongue in cheek article, that I didn't make clear ... my bad In reply to spitfirebill: I added that factor because when I had to locate a replacement 4.9 for my F150, I had to go via each in every junkyard in South Jacket to locate one that had not been sludged up really terribly.
Bernie: Which is a far better van, while we're going to speak about a few concerns of these vans, but I I'm clearly not mosting likely to appear and say one is far better than the various other. So if that's what you're seeking, you'll need to wait. Mark: So what are a few of the distinctions in between these two brands? Bernie: Well, they're basically the same car.
They appear to be a little bit extra utilized in that area, yet, you understand, those are a few of the usages, however they're basically the exact same classification of car. Mark: So, well, let's begin with engines then. What concerns do you see in between these 2 cars? Bernie: Yeah. Let's speak concerning engine and actually simply to define that the design years, we're going to begin from 2000 and up, you understand, I indicate, these vans have been around for a lengthy time.
And, you recognize, for a version of a Chevy van has been around since, you know, around that time also. Because 2000, I mean, Ford's, you can obtain these with V6 engines or V8s.
There's a lot of problems with these engines. In the earlier 2000 trigger plugs with blow to these engines, due to the fact that they really did not have sufficient threading in the trigger plug, which created problems.
