Engines to avoid on F-250?
Got a lot of feedback on the F-150 5.4L 3v having a lot of problems. Is there any specific engine/year to avoid on the F-250? Thanks for the help.

Years ago, I saw a good comparo test done for off road engines. The three types of filter were K&N ( oiled cloth ), oiled foam, and pleated paper.
The results were the K&N passed the most dirt and allowed larger particles to pass thru, but it continued to flow fairly well when very dirty.
The pleated paper stopped the most dirt, and filtered down to finer particles, but when clogged with dirt, severely limited flow.
The oiled foam element was in the middle of the other two.
This convinced me to stick with pleated paper and change it often enough to maintain flow.
