THE 5.4L FORD TRITON W/ 3 VALVES PER CYLINDER

The Ford Triton engine made its debut in 1997 and was offered in many pick up, van and SUV applications.

Tri Star remanufactured 5.4 liter Ford crate engines are built to meet or exceed OEM standards and our backed by our standard 3 year, unlimited mileage nationwide warranty (private use applications). For total peace of mind you can also upgrade to our 'No Fault' Warranty Supplement, call for details. All Tri Star's remanufactured Ford truck engines incorporate the latest updates to correct original design flaws - Click here for the product bulletin outlining the updates of Tri Star remanufactured 5.4L engines. Tri Star engines are remanufactured, not rebuilt, for the most reliable and durable engines available. Tri Star remanufactured 5.4L Triton engines are completely remanufactured including machining the block, crank, connecting rods and cylinder heads, and assembled with new or remanufactured parts. Rebuilt 5.4L Ford 3 valve Triton engines will only correct the issue with the "core" engine used as raw material, but will typically not include any other machining or remanufacturing on the rest of the engine or have any updates performed. Used engines incorporate no updates and are extremely susceptible to failure due to mileage already being on the engine with questionable maintenance records. Used and rebuilt 5.4L Triton engines are inferior, do not correct any of the original equipment design flaws and typically have very limited or pro-rated warranties. When shopping be sure to ask if you're getting a used, rebuilt 5.4L Triton engine or a 100% remanufactured 5.4 Ford engine.

Tri Star remanufactured 5.4L engines address these most common failure points in the remanufacturing process to provide the most durable and dependable engines.

OTHER UPGRADES/BENEFITS:

• Graphite coated hypereutectic pistons resist scuffing and damage to heat much better than factory aluminum pistons
• Moly piston rings and steel compression rings reduce friction and cylinder wall wear to extend the life of the 2004 Ford F150 5.4 Triton engine
• Fel-Pro® rear main seals protect against heat and leaks
• Connecting rods are honed (both the little and big ends) to ensure uniformity, and bent rods are scrapped (some competitors will bend rods back into place)
• Chrome plated valve stems resist scuffing and heat for greater durability
  
• Soda blasting aluminum components provides a visually 'like new' raw material without the risk of contaminating the 5.4 liter Ford crate engine (some competitors blast with other abrasive materials which can become stuck in the 2004 Ford F150 5.4 Triton engine and cause the new engine to fail)
  
• Every engine is 100% simulation tested very thoroughly by skilled technicians. Engines are checked for good compression, oil pressure, and black light checked for any leaks before packaging
• Engines are provided with a written warranty which clearly outlines coverages. Unlike some competitors, Tri Star warranties are not 'pro-rated' which decrease your coverage over time
• Engines are shipped in plastic totes with simple core return instructions provided to make returning cores extremely simple
• Excellent product support technicians aren't just order takers, they are knowledgeable customer service experts
  
• You're buying your remanufactured Triton 5.4L direct from the manufacturer so you know you aren't dealing with a middle man for increased costs and headaches for warranty, core returns and technical assistance
