I own a 2004 Ford F150 5.4L Triton lemon like many others that have complained before me. I first noticed a diesel like noise coming from the vehicle from the right side and took it to a trusted mechanic in town and he informed me that the Cam Lifter was about to go about a month ago. I decided to just drive the vehicle around town due to a quote of $2,500 to fix the timing problem that is common with a Triton motor. The big one happened a couple of days ago while starting the vehicle. The motor sounded like hell as it rattled and barely ran. I got it down to my trusted mechanic and he said, "I told you so." In other words 5.4L Triton motors are junk. He offered to install a new Triton 5.4L motor in the rig for about $5,000 and I declined and offered to sell my mechanics special for $3,000. Why would I want to go through a faulty motor issue like many others have again? It's cheaper to cut my losses and move on to a mechanical motor that doesn't have a zillion complaints. Ford should be embarrassed to put their name on an engine that isn't tough at all. I also support a class action suit to help customers who have suffered financial loss from an inferior built motor that Ford should not have put into their Trucks in the first place.
