My truck is a 2001.

However, the engine in question with the intake problem is in an ambulance and I'm not sure what year it is, or if there is a difference in the engines in the ambulance vs a standard truck. I would expect not as far as that goes, but I suppose is could even be new than an '03.

Since I'm a bit of a newbie to the Ford 5.4 L, I'm getting that there was a '97/'98 design, and a Power Improvement made in '99 on. This PI was "obviously" for more power and part of that was larger intake ports.

And it sounds like so far the people who have read this are not aware of any intake issue with the fit.

I should be talking to the Mechanic again tomorrow, so I'll see if what else he knows and if I can find out a year on that Ambulance.

Thanks,
Ed
