Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / June 2008Re: 0-60 times ?
Well let's see, I ask one simple question. So far I've had 6 responses and not one responder has answered the question. The response have run the gauntlet. 1. I should only be concerned with towing my Corvette. 2. I'm too old to be concerned with the performance of my vehicle. 3. Is the truck loaded or empty. 4. One responder gave me the info in kilometers, with a useless link. 5. And another suggests I spend the night at the track. All I can say is Thanks Guys. > Well let's see, I ask one simple question. > So far I've had 6 responses and not one [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > All I can say is Thanks Guys. I thought that I wasn't going to find anything. I don't know if this is exactly like your truck, but it should be close. Mine is a 2004 4x4 Lariat with 18 inch wheels, so I would expect mine to be slightly slower. < http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=101048/pageId=57467 > Mark: Thanks...... >> Well let's see, I ask one simple question. >> So far I've had 6 responses and not one [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > < > http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=101048/pageId=57467 > Good Evening Mark: Thanks for the info, it was by far the most informative I've read. If memory serves me, the 2004 5.4 Litre was a three valve engine. So, I guess I'm doing alright with my engine (which is not the three valve). And I am running 18" wheels. Thanks again. >> Well let's see, I ask one simple question. >> So far I've had 6 responses and not one [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > < > http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=101048/pageId=57467 > > Good Evening Mark: > Thanks for the info, it was by far the most informative I've read. > If memory serves me, the 2004 5.4 Litre was a three valve engine. > So, I guess I'm doing alright with my engine (which is not the three > valve). And I am running 18" wheels. Thanks again. The Triton V-8 has 2 intake valves and 1 exhaust valve. It is amazing to get 300 HP and 365 LB-FT torque out of just 330 cubic inches. Back to you Mark: I'm running a Supercab with a 5.4 Litre. I bought it with 20,000 miles on it. I am the second owner. I have put 163,000 on it with a grand total of 183,000 miles. Best mpg when I bought it was 17. I have not had any problems at all. I do regular preventive maintenance and it runs perfect. Modifications: Cat back Flowmaster dual exhaust, Cold air intake, 18" wheels and Plus-1 tires. With these changes my mpg is running 20. I also use Red Line Water Wetter. I have just installed the Edge Evolution Programmer. I am hoping this gets my mpg up around 22-24 miles per gallon. I intend on keeping this truck a long time...... >> Good Evening Mark: >> Thanks for the info, it was by far the most informative I've read.

Having said that, the chip set is giving you about 4 mpg. How much gas do you have to buy before the chip pays for itself? I figure I will have to drive 8000 miles to pay for the programmer. But with the performance I'm getting, I'll enjoy driving the 8000 miles... >> Back to you Mark: >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Having said that, the chip set is giving you about 4 mpg.

You're welcome. Obviously, nobody cares. "Ron Crismond" wrote: Well let's see, I ask one simple question. So far 6 responses, not one answering the question. Responses ran the gauntlet: 1.

I simply showed you the information was available with a simple Internet search but you were too confused/lazy to do some research and look for the info on your own. Another guy that thinks everyone should do their research for them and when they do get the answer what kind of thanks do they give? In my opinion the thanks was a smart-a** complaint.
