Do the gen 2 and 3 truck engines get forged rods like the mustang?

[@americantrucknation4891]

Gen 2 was by far the best, fixed all the issues and before the government got involved with cylinder deactivation and auto start stop. Haven’t had an issue with mine over 105k

[@malcolmn.5222]

These are two features that have been other v8s and other cars before this. The technology is not new and highly tested

[@papiparsons9045]

The tech isn’t new, doesn’t mean the tech is good. Look at the problems GM has had with cyl deactivation.

[@gregoryjowers3629]

Good job on explaining the difference on the coyotes

[@402SHO]

Thanks for a good explanation. I’m looking at a 15 f150 right now and I’m told it’s a better choice then the Gen 1’s

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Thank you for the kind words. We hope it helped you in your research.

[@402SHO]

@@VMPPerformanceTV went and looked at it seemed a little ticky like the fuel injectors where noisy is that common? I don’t know personally my 3.5 ecoboost sounds like a time bomb 24/7

[@christianduewall9575]

​@@402SHO coyotes are commonly known for a little "ticking" just make sure you aren't hearing a lower end piston "slap" or "Knock". I just got out of a 2014 that had the dreaded piston slap when cold. Plenty of videos online where you can hear what the piston knocking sounds like. I had bad luck with a 14 f150, had the knock but ran great and super smooth when warm. now in a 16 and no knock. ever since discovering the issue on the 14 I've been deep into every thread known to man. my non expert conclusion is that the 15-17 5.0 with the 6r80 is the best.

Will a roush supercharger for a 2020 f150 5.0 work on a 2016 f150 5.0? I found a deal on a used one

[@decremadenip1626]

Hello VMP, Great video!!! God Bless!!!

[@davereynolds7070]

Thank You, this video was very informative, prefect job with getting right to what is useful.

[@Chinny_Winny]

Thx for this. I was dying to know any major internal differences there might be

[@10R8OH]

Good info

[@GTfromAG]

I was thinking of putting one of these engines in my 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac V8🤔......

[@azizalomran6511]

Wish to see this engine on expedition soon

[@abdullahiftikhar6509]

For the gen 2 coyote f150 Are the Pistons,rods and crankshaft the same material as the gen 2 coyote mustang because the gen 2 coyote mustang did use some parts from the roadrunner engine

[@tristansmirnow850]

Is the gen 4 coyote on the mustang as well would? love to know more about the belt driven oil pump 🤔

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

It is not. The Mustang retained the Gen 3 engine for 2021.

[@adamrieck2008]

Can a supercharger from a gen 3 coyote f150 fit onto a gen 4 coyote f150?

[@thomasherman9130]

I thought gen 4 coyote came out in the 2024 f-150 not 21? the 8th digit on the vin for the 2021 is a 5 which is Gen3.

[@papiparsons9045]

Wet belts don’t work in other on road vehicles, so why should they work here?

[@chrispicard6533]

I recently bought a 18 f150 engine is knocking. I will be changing it my question is for you guys. Will a gen1 or 2 fit in the 18 or it won’t work because of deactivation system in the 18+ ? Thanks in advance

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Gen 3 Coyotes are direct injection. You'll need to run a Gen 3 engine to retain all the same functionality of your vehicle.

[@socberttrucker3598]

I see yall don't really have much as far as mods for F150 5.0, but I really wanna get a VMP Dyno Tune, just not on a stock truck

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

We're able to get most anything you'd like to put on your truck. As a supercharger manufacturer and manufacturer of supporting parts for these kits, our website mostly displays our own products. Give us a call at the shop and our support team can source the parts you're looking for and set you up a package with your dyno tune. The number is [phone]

[@vernonknight5827]

IMRC? Is that charge motion control valves? And does gen 4 have that?

[@alexmontealegre4377]

Specifically, when do you recommend upgrades oil pump gears for a supercharged 5.0 F-150? Based on year made or boost level or both or what?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Hey Alex, upgrading oil pump gears is typically recommended base on the type of use for the vehicle. As with any modifications, there's inherent risks. OPG/CS are typically at risk from this like shocks in the drivetrain/engine from rev limiter strikes. If you intend to use your Coyote in any manner of racing/motorsport where this may be a risk, it would be worth considering regardless of the power.

[@catalinbudur6206]

F150 2023 what Generatiopn is Coyote ?? Thankyou

[@reichpanzer2418]

Are all the 5.0 engines put in a 2018 f150s "coyote" engines. If not, how do you identify if it is?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Yes, if it is the 5.0L V8, it is a Coyote engine. In particular, it's the Gen 3 Coyote.

[@cp_atving5084]

Do you think the 4th gen is strong enough to handle a supercharger? Not talking racing but just as a fun reliable daily driver.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

From everything we've seen, it should have no problem as a daily driver/street truck with a bit of boost.

[@midnight347]

I was thinking the gen 2 15 up went to 11:1 compression like the mustang then in 18 both went to 12:1. Meaning 11-14 is 10.5:1, 15-17 is 11:1 then 12:1 18 up. I was thinking the 11-14 was the only iteration that had lower compression than the mustang. Is that correct or did it stay 10 5:1 all the way to 2017?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

F-150 ran 10.5:1 compression all the way until 2017 in comparison to the Mustang's compression ratio of 11:1 in 11-17.

[@ConcussedGaming]

So besides being performance based in the Mustang or the coyotes in the GT are they the same as the truck and are they technically coyotes in the truck? For instance vortec engines 4.8 and 5.3 are not technically Ls's but everyone in the automotive industry calls them less Ls's. Is it the same for Ford trucks and cars?

[@matt6951]

It's a name, who cares. The 5.3 and 4.8 are absolutely ls engines. Same with the 5.0s, they are coyotes.

[@justin5345]

Do all the Gen3 5.0 have plastic oil pans ? I thought the 2.7eco was the only engines using the plastic oil pans ?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

All gen3 and also gt350

[@justin5345]

@@VMPPerformanceTV that’s weird because the 3.5 ecoboost don’t have the plastic pans on them .

[@Txdude214]

@@justin5345 I’m a ford tech and yes 3.5 ecoboost does have plastic pans

[@MrPjcrews]

can I put a 2021 Coyote into a 2014 f-150?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

If you're talking complete engine, a lot of the systems present on the Gen 3 and Gen 4 Coyote are not present in that chassis. So it's not a direct swap. Each generation, for the most part, has componentry that isn't interchangeable, such as timing components and affiliated sensors.

[@crabbyscrappy]

Single cab ftw

[@khalidzz2081]

How can i check if my f150 engine is gen4 ?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

The Gen 4 Coyote engine is only in the new 2021 F-150. If you have a new body style F-150 that is 2021 year model, you'll have the Gen 4. 2018 through 2020, it'll be Gen 3. 2015-2017, it's a Gen 2. 2011-2014, it's a Gen 1.

[@normfitzgerald5620]

Why did they change from 5w20to5w30oil

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Hey Norm. Manufacturers spec oil viscosity based on a number of elements such as engine manufacturing clearances/tolerances, region of sale/projected environment of use, type of use, and much much more. You'll find that heavier weight oil will come into play with heavier duty usage, higher towing capacities, and similar circumstances.

[@SOLDbyYOU]

For me…what REALLY MATTERS…is reliability…. Ok fine… the gen 19 is two seconds quicker in the 9 mile drag race… I don’t care… they will all do the work I need. But is the gen three….MORE RELIABLE….. MORE RELIABLE….. THAN THE GEN 2 ..

[@georgehuerta1990]

Me personally not that I’m some freaking engine guru or whatever but a wet belt that’s submerged in oil to me it’s just not a good idea why not just use a chain. I just think it would last a lot longer than a belt that is submerged in oil. But what the hell do I know just my opinion.

[@Men4JC]

This video is about F-150 coyote engine generations. So why do you keep including the Mustang details? Stay on topic. Just let the video be about the f-150 coyote generations and leave the mustang details out.

[@GungaLaGunga]

Glad I have a gen 2 2015 f150. Cylinder deactivation?!!! No thanks. More complexity increases probability of problems. Boo hiss on auto start stop too. Will have to keep my 2015 I guess. Come on Ford engineers. Stop it with these crap technology systems.

[@RyTrapp0]

I'm sure they'll be willing to pay you a whole pile of money to tell them how to save more fuel without going to this level. It's not like they haven't held off from using cylinder deactivation [much] longer than their competition - but, yea, they aren't trying lol...

[@gmoney8087]

Will a roush supercharger for a 2020 f150 5.0 work on a 2016 f150 5.0? I found a deal on a used one

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

The later superchargers do bolt up to earlier Coyotes, though you will need to be aware of your wiring considerations and possibly source the wiring/sensors for your specific vehicle.
