Whats up? first post, Just picked new F150 STX ,so far I'm happy, I'm trying to figure out if it has the 4.6 2V or 3V? I tryied the VIN decoder but it didn't say. Anny info would be great! Thanks
Sorry Guys! I've never claimed to be a rocket scientist! It says 2V on the window sticker! Sow what do you guys think, is it worth messing with, or just leave it alone? I was thing of at least a C.A.I. and a cat-back system.
Okay, I figured Triton was a clever way for Ford to designate 3 valves with the "tri" usually meaning "3". Thanks for clearing that up.
Naah...Ford adopted the Triton name when they put the OHC engines in trucks and vans in 1997...this is the 4.6 and 5.4.
Ford had "Triton V8" on fender badges on a lot of those vehicles including my '02 E150. They obviously decided that they needed some kind of macho-sounding name for what was basically the Mustang/Crown Vic V8 being put into the trucks (along with the stroked 5.4 variant which had not been used in cars).
Trition V-8 is just the truck,Van , engine designation given to the Modular V8's , used in these vehicles.....even a V-10 is called a Triton V-10!.....
