[QUOTE="SOCOMech, post: 9659039, member: 102424"] I do love my 6.2 and I'm sure you love your 5.4 but, you *need* to show me where I said, "you *need* a 6.2". I only gave my opinion based on my experience and the experience of some very well informed others. I'm not the only one to say there's a noticeable difference between the two engines off road....in certain environments. If you've ever gone on either of the Raptor specific forums, you'd know that the trans. issue on the 5.4 is not an update, there are currently no updates for the 6r80 in the Raptor. What it is, is the tech. going in and resetting the trans. adaptive shift strategy tables. However, that could be considered just a band-aid because after a while, it will just re-learn you're driving habits. This is why there are good amount of people that say they don't have the problem....different people have different driving habits. There's a reason the 6.2 trucks don't need this. Agreed, the 5.4 is more than capable of recreational off roading and providing a mile of smiles. However, almost 100 (give or take, over or under) more hp at the wheels and considerably more tq, there's no denying that a 6.2 will allow for some more spirited driving and less worry of bogging down. 5.4 more than capable? Without a doubt. 6.2 needed? No........but well worth it in many people's eyes, people who have experienced both. The 5.4 vs. 6.2 power debate has been beaten to death. It's cool there's so much potential in the 6.2 but, some of it is not needed to alot of us. The Raptor R's had just over 500/500 with the usual 3 mod of intake, exhaust (custom long tubes and such) and tune, but also had a ported TB, slightly ported heads and cams.

I run my truck out in the desert, I don't want a blower....for reasons discussed earlier in this very thread. I will also agree with you in that the price for the 6.2 does seem a bit steep, but then again, that extra money got me an extra 100 hp to the wheels under the warranty......so now it actually starts to sound like a good deal.
