[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 261482, member: 412"] I liked the flat torque curve of the 5.4L. I could tow my boat in OD most of the time @ 70MPH. In a headwind lock out OD. When I wanted to tow something heavier than the boat, just lock out OD and it'd tow anything I stuck behind it @ 70MPH. If a person was intelligent about choosing the proper gear to tow in, I believe that the flat torque curve of the Triton's ended up being easier on the transmission than what the 5.3L GM was. I didn't ever have so much as a hiccup with either transmission behind the 2 5.4's I owned and I put ~140K Mi between the 2 of them. 40K on an '01 and 90+K on an '05 3-valve. All the above aside, I think I replaced 4-5 coils total and put plugs in both trucks. I paid to have the plugs swapped but it still made me want to take a ball-pein hammer to the engineers fingers and toes, one by one until they agreed they deserved it. [/QUOTE]
