Thanks for the replies...If I swap out even, I will spend the money for a re-manufactured engine. I believe the truck will last another 10+ yrs. The only hesitations I have buying a used motor is what condition the insides are in. If a used 5.4L will give me a significant increase then I would consider that over the cons of a used motor. I use a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited for pulling my trailer now and I can't feel the trailer behind me even with two 1000lbs round bales loaded. I would like to experience the same with my truck but I have to be realistic. I accept the fact and will only happen if I upgrade to a heavier duty Ford.
