Is your '04 a heritage model ?

Is your buddies engine out of the same year ?

The heritage is the old, round body style (like the 2003). If yours is a Heritage model I would think that it would have the same specs as the 2003.

The F150's kept using the 2v 4.6 until 2009 when the 3v option was added. 2010 and up F150's with a 4.6 only had 3v.

I would try to get both motors side by side and make sure that the wiring/sensors match up.
