Very loud sounds like bottom end/rod bearing and is about to go out with a bang real quick!!

Truck is a 2009 5.4 3V
Will the motor from a 2005 5.4 3V work to replace it? As I have one of those sitting in a old work truck. I know the intake etc is different but using the 09 stuff will it work and be a easy enough install or do I need a 09-10 motor?

Thanks

 

Anyone know if 05 motor will work in 09 truck?

 

As far as I know, it should work, your intake and injectors need to go on the donor engine, both engines are variable valve timing, how many miles on the donor engine?

 

Less than the 09

 

oil filters in the same place?

 

you will probably have to swap the harnesses for the VCT solenoids, but AFAIK it will work.

 

AFAIK= As Far As I Know

 

This may be a stupid comment, but could your CAT have broken up and you are hearing the ceramic rattling?
