Hey guys, I'm looking at a 2005 Lincoln Aviator for the Mrs. Power plant is a 300hp DOHC 4.6. It seems to run well enough- definitely has some spunk, but was wondering if there were any problems associated with it? Did Ford actually put enough threads in the cylinder heads for the spark plugs? Cam phasers?
The SUV only has 65k miles on it and is in very good shape. It does have a few issues- a drive line vibration, torque converter shudder going into lockup, sometimes a delay/bang into gear and maybe a bit of a misfire.
If we can settle on it, I'll service the transmission oil which will take care of the shudder, and look into the delay/bang into gear- possibly a range selector switch and tend to the other things. I think (hope) it'll make a nice vehicle for her.
