I think it’s a good idea, I didn’t mind the pure electric Lightning either but it did need better range which could have been solved in some other capacity. Nonetheless I like this solution.

Remember the Tundra is pretty damn heavy, especially the hybrid. My cousins IForce Max does not feel any peppier in the low end than my 5.0, I’ve driven it several times. Feels quite lazy for 580 lb ft.

I live 3 minutes away from Tonawanda engine and know a lot of people within GM, the 5.7 and 6.6 derivatives are replacing the 5.3/6.2, it’s well known at this point and tooling work has been going on for a while. No company will comment on product info until launch, this is the same energy we...

Agreed, the Hurricane I-4 and I-6 was a globally harmonized platform, and a huge part of that was avoiding displacement tax in European Union market but still make US and Asia market compliance. Issue is Americans didn’t really want it that bad, and the EPA doesn’t fine you for displacement...

Last two years the 5.0 made up roughly 30% of F-150 sales, 30% of 800,000 trucks is more engines than Toyota sells in the Tundra over 5 years. Easily worth investing in upgrades to retain those sales. I can tell you don’t own a business my friend, if sales were so dismal you have to bring a...

Saw some AI slop video today that there have been leaks that the 5.0 is getting upsized to 5.8 liters in 2028 with “hybrid ready” architecture. AI slop, but a good idea. It is very much confirmed a new aluminum Hemi is in the works, it is very much confirmed GM has the 6th gen V8 coming, both...

Anyone else have this issue? I now have my F-150, a Transit, and a Super Duty all exhibiting this. Any time it gets below freeze the windows lock up and you need to open the door in the drive thru etc…. I remote start all these trucks, let them warm up before me or my guys drive them. Why am I...

I don’t think anyone is saying the 3.5 engine isn’t reliable, just that the “study” posted isn’t reliable. I’m all for posting opinions and anecdotes, I do it all day long. Once you start throwing big words like “study” and “hypothesis” you better have normalized data, control groups, and any...

5.0 is still my favorite engine in my little Ford fleet to be honest, I’ll be buying another in the future.

She will shift at 6800 typically, rev limiter is 7,000 if in manual I believe. Just do 6800. No data on intake manifold but the heads are capable of 320 CFM, with truck cam we probably aren’t utilizing the ports capacity as fully as the Mustang.

I think housing is the MAJOR one that has gone haywire in regard to earning per year versus cost, which squeezes everyone on everything else, and creates an illusion that other things cost more. Housing, Food, Health Insurance that is. Cars, appliances, phones, gas, boats have all tracked rather...

If you drive your truck near jobsites you bess keep that spare, I’ve blown 2 tires since I bought mine, one was on the highway. Still very commonplace as it ever was if you put on miles, I’m at 72,000 miles coming up on 3 years in.

*pats you on the back* “It’s in a better place”.

This is for big horsepower and is custom tuning only, this is more like the boating community where things are built not just bolted on. I’d be investing in Manley H-beam rods and a beefy 4340 crank before I ran this. It’s a competition blower for high boost and custom tune per their...

I watched another video today that Ford marketing was contacted and claimed the 382 is a misprint on the website. We really need to wait and see.

Nope

A lot of the GM loyalists are stuck in the past. I do understand the loyalty from the small block (non LS) and Big Block days, and a lot of those guys are still living there. I LOVE the big block in my boat. Great power/torque, readily available parts, great interchangeability between platforms...

Ford might need a little extra bore and punch the 5.0 out to 5.5 with the new V8’s coming down the pipe. Ram is working on an all new Hemi too. Ford has the modernized part down, but is currently displacement limited. Issue is the modular tooling would need to be replaced to get the bigger bore...

It appears that the famous Chevrolet 350 that was replaced in the 2000 timeframe by the 5.3 will be returning in a modernized LT platformed form with the 5.3 going the way of the dinosaurs. For engine gurus the real small block 350 CI did all ready return to production in 2020 for marine and...

The 5.0 got an entirely new short block with new main oil feeds to heads and a now closed deck, a high pressure oil rail within heads (new to any Ford gas engine PERIOD), camshaft cradles, new pistons, new rings and ringlands, intake manifold and throttle body. I’d be more hard pressed to find...
