@@BBC600 hahahaha, man, i have seen you around in the comments for about the last 15 years! you always comment on videos i watch. in fact, you used to comment on my old videos from years ago! just thought id let you know.
Had the 292....this is just new werld bs.....I know , I've got one....mileage sucks...it's a good runner but not that good....mostly at higher rpms....not where street use is....
I JUST got done replacing one of the lid switches on an LSE7804ACE.. Whatever engineer thought it was a good idea to put the switches back there instead of ANYWHERE near the front panel... you know, the one you only have to take off 2 little screws for? ... I hope that guy had ONLY bad things happen to him for the rest of his life.
The 4.6L & 5.4L are Great engines so long as you/the owner checks the oil level every couple of weeks, and don’t go an extended period of time without changing your oil filter! These motors are stout, but as anyone who has repaired them knows, the plastic timing chain tensioners are the most common failure in these engines if they have ran low on oil. And the plastics on the intake manifold are known to break around the thermostat & cooling Passover, but they fixed this design in 04 I believe. And lastly the infamous 3 threads of aluminium that hold your spark plugs in the cylinder head. (Also fixed in 04 by changing it to 8 threads) *specifically I’m dating the engines used in the mustang, so others like the f150 and CV may have gotten the improvements before or after the dates I mentioned, but just wanted to share my experience with the ford modular lol.
I have a 2011 Isuzu truck auto transmission 4jj1 engine but that the transmission light keeps coming on and after doing a diagnostic test it send codes of A&B solenoid has low voltage. What do you think cause the low voltage?
Very smooth and powerful engine. However a rebuild should be done in a professional shop. Not in ones garage as it is technically pretty advanced and beyond your typical do it yourselfer.
Better EPA fuel economy than a V8? Sorry, my 05 4.2 Trailblazer got about 14 mpg. My 5.3 V8 got about 17 mpg. The 4.2 was underrated as a potential performance engine mostly because it was under developed by GM. GM gave up on it because it was not initially as good as they thought and as is typical with GM, the finance folks pulled the plug from the engineers and it was gone.
