Smart Mechanics Choose 6.8L Ford Engines..GotEngines.com
For pure pulling power for your Ford pickup truck, here is a good solution. These new large-cubic inch gasoline-powered internal combustion engines are becoming one of the most popular engines manufactured by Ford. These 6.8L SOHC 3V Triton V10 engines are for the Ford Super Duty series of pickups and large SUV’s.
It’s smaller brother, the 5.4L Triton V8 employs the exact same head and valve arrangement as the 6.8L V10, with 3 valves per cylinder ( 2 intakes, 1 exhaust) for increased power and efficiency. Combine these ingredients with an advanced tuned air management system, and you have outstanding recipe for durability and performance.
More of Fords 6.8L Engine design updates have been integrated into the design of this motor to increase functionality. The SOHC V-10 design integrates one camshaft in each cylinder head (as all single overhead camshafts setups have) operating 3 valves in total, 2 intake and 1 exhaust and the power is distributed by an Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) which uses electronic sensors and motors instead of mechanical linkage to deliver effortless and reliable power on demand.
A Silent-design chain front camshaft timing setup drive helps add to the durability and reduces noise and engine vibration. Although I’m a fan of a good old fashioned timing chain.
The ultra-reliable fail-safe cooling system is designed to protect the engine due to loss of coolant. If the engine overheats, it uses an arrangement of computers to automatically switch from 10-cylinder operation to a 5-cylinder operation. The vehicle will continue to operate, but in a reduced capacity. Which gives the driver a period of time to limp into the dealer or repair shop before any damage is done.
Not all of the computerization is bad, a fail safe/limp in mode saves lots of engines form premature and unnecessary failures. Computers are how we produce large engines that afford us good mileage and performance with nice manners. A point of interest about computerized engines is that the first thing to check if you have a drive-ability problem would be the computer system.
