The sad part is most of these aren't at the construction site, a farm,
or a fleet whatever that means...

They are at the mall, the grocery store, or double or quadruple parked
downtown shopping.

I got a couple doughhead friends that think its cool to drive a
diesel... yet they paid $20k more for their truck, and end up spending 6
times what i do in service, and hands down an injector fails or they're
in at the dealer for some other F-Diesel related screw up.

God knows what the Urea tanks are going to bring... i say more F-ups in
the F-x50

Does anyone here know exactly what model truck they got the engine for the
Ford GT from?

Some private citizens own and drive Military Tanks.I say, More power to
them.
More power to FORD too.

The USURPER B HO was just recently at the FORD plant in Chicago, he
was bragging/Lieing that the auto bailouts to Government Motors (GM) and
Government Motors (Chrysler) also helped FORD.

USURPER B HO - 159 Lies and growing like Pinocchio's nose.

Welllll... they actually didn't. The 5.4 in the GT is an aluminum block
engine and, AFAIK, shares little more than bore and stroke with either the
5.4 2V or 5.4 3V (both of these being cast iron blocks. The aluminum 4V
heads are unique to the GT.

The GT uses a belt driven, externally mounted oil pump... the oil filter is
also unique to the GT.

Sources for this information are the Ford factory workshop manuals and the
new model training course for the 2005 Ford GT.

What do you know, a top poster that actually replied something useful.
Thanks for that. The only question I'd have if this has changed during
the life of the Ford GT. Specifically when it first came on the market.
