[QUOTE="Norton, post: 16515255, member: 145307"] I have yet to see a "bulletproof" motor. They can all be blown by a bad tune, bad gas, poor driving, etc. Your post implies 5.8s are more failure-prone than other engines (e.g., 5.4, 5.0, 5.2, etc). I'm not aware of any such reliable/authoritative stats, but am willing to learn if you point the way... Fear not. Thousands of us have modded our 5.8s smartly/modestly, relying on reputable tuners, using good quality fuel, and driving them properly, with ZERO problems. Obviously, YMMV, especially if you miss/ignore any of the aforementioned conditions. +1 to all of this ^^. [/QUOTE]
