Pulled some very steep grades at about 40 mph, but That was not a problem...
I would own another 2v 5.4, it was a very reliable motor, never gave me any problems other than a bad idler pulley and a clogged catalytic converter.
I am sorry you had two 5.4's that had problems. All of my modular Ford motors have been relatively problem free. (4.6, 5.4, and a 6.8)
Thanks!
