DavidBaustert Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I know the 5.4's used to blow spark plugs out quite often, not sure if they've revised this since then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99BlownYellowGT Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I looked at one around that year and it just ate up gas like crazy. It seemed to be too much truck for me and i went with a 150 instead, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truckin Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I've owned 2 F150's and 2 F250's I'll never go back to a 1/2 ton truck. As far as the 05 SD the 5.4 is a very nice motor my family has had 6 vehicles (truck's and Expo's) with the 5.4 and NEVER a problem. Do Highly recommend replacing the plugs though, if you do decide on the truck have them replace the plug in the deal. Trust me it's well worth it they are prone to snap because of a shity plug design. As far as a 5.4 in a SD if your not towing much or doing light towing it'd be ok, if your gonna work it I'd go with a V10 or Diesel. I've driven a few 5.4 SD's and they seemed under powered for work use. SD's are great trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I would never buy a 3/4 ton truck with a gas motor, especially a gas motor as small as the 5.4. When you go from a 5.4 F-150 to a 5.4 F-250, you're basically saying, I want to haul more shit in the bed than an F-150 will, and I want to be able to tow slightly more weight. I also want the truck to ride a lot worse when it's unloaded, get worse gas mileage, and be generally slower under all conditions because I'm dragging around a 3/4 ton truck frame.... I never would, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOZZER Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I know the 5.4's used to blow spark plugs out quite often, not sure if they've revised this since then? This has the 3 valve motor. They changed the plug design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiColin Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Like said above do you plan on towing heavy loads? What's the intent to get the truck work related or just a daily? I would spend the extra money to get a deisel I'm sure you wouldn't regret it. Then again I'm not to big on the 5.4. Yes reliable but still nOt as reliable as a diesel.

Stimmel1647545512 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 the only reason i like the 250 over the 150 is looks i dont need it for work or for towing i was just hoping for some input on those 3v 5.4s also gas mileage isnt that much of a big deal its a 14 mile round trip to and from work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckin Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 The 3v motors are far better than the 2v motors in every aspect. I also can't stand it when people gripe or knock a 3/4-1 tons mpg. If your buying a sd/ hd truck and expect great mpg your a fool. These are real trucks that will do real work. It's not a civic and it's not a caddy. If you want a cupcake truck go buy a Toyota or Nissan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
