Nope tranny is fine. That's 15-20 brand new in a 2wd. It's not happening. As for the f150, they are ok, 5.4s are junk though, but as my best friend who has been a mechanic for 20 years says, " ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if it wasn't for Fords my tools would rust."

I had an 08 F150 with the 5.4. It痴 not the best motor out there, but it mileage and horsepower are both superior to the Dodge 4.7.
I have a buddy who has the new turbo charged v6. Those things are sweet. His produces 375 ponies. He has a lead foot and still gets 16-17mpg around town.
I want that motor or the 5.0, but they池e just slightly out of my budget atm so I値l probably get an 09 or a 10 with a 5.4.
I like the chevy 5.3, but too pricy
The 4.7 was the replacement to the 5.2 (318). It has good power for the size, but is much better off in Dakota's than full size rams. It didn't stick around long in the full size thankfully as the hemis replaced them mid 2000s. I believe 07 is the last year the 4.7 was available in anything. Again, it is not an economical motor.
I'm proud to say I've never owned a Ford branded vehicle.
I don't like them. They're like the Raiders of the car/truck world.
