Vehicular Wizardry with Triton
There are plenty of trucks in all shapes, sizes and colors populating the automotive industry and one of the more popular trucks around are Ford's Triton series. There are basically three models of the Triton: the 4.6 Triton, 5.4 Triton and the 6.8 Triton V10 The smallest Triton model was the 4.6 L (4605 cc/281 inł) V8, which was patterned after the 90° Ford Modular engine design. 4.6's engine is available in two choices: either a cast iron or an aluminum block. Both kinds use aluminum heads. All units of 4.6 L Tritons are either one of two kinds: 2-valve SOHC or, with the release of the Ford Explorer in 2006, 3-valve SOHC designs.
The 5.4 Triton is another model also based on the Ford Modular engine design. Same bore as the 4.6 but stroke was stretched to 4.17 in. There are two versions of the 5.4 L Triton: the SOCH 2-valve and the SOCH 3-valve with VCT. The 2-valve version was the most widely used in Ford trucks by 2004. It utilizes a cast iron engine block and aluminum SOHC 2-valve cylinder heads. It has several ports for fuel injection, roller rockers forged steel crankshaft, fracture-split powder metal connecting rods and assembled reinforced plastic intake manifold.
And in 2005, the tri-valve version of the Triton, which was the 6.8 L V10 was introduced and built alongside the two-valve engine. It has an output of 362 hp (266 kW) and 457 ft•lbf (620 N•m) and a 2005-2006 Ford F-series Super Duty application.
And yet even with the best truck model, there are just some things that mechanical wizardry can't take care of especially with the fast-paced, modern times. Most of today's vehicular technology are determined by "yes, you guessed right," computers. And what your will and your wrench could not tackle, an electronic programmer will take care of. Gadgets such as the Triton F150 Programmer will access those impossible to reach parts of your truck and tune them for you. The changes you can make are instantaneous, just like a true wizard.
