Lincoln Aviator

[Mr. Man]

Found a Lincoln Aviator for sale at the local Ford dealer tonite. Don't know much about it but it looks clean and the OD reads 90K give or take. Not sure of the year but they seem to have made them '03-'05. Wondering if any of you guys have any thoughts +/- about these things. Internet says the are pretty good SUVs. $$$$ seems to be between 10.5 and 16.5 depending on year and options. Just thought I'd run it up the flag pole and see what opinions you might have. Going to dealer Tues to find out more about it.

Thanks
Eric

pretty sure they have the same motor as the mms. or is that navigator?

[Bigdogjim]

4.6 motor like the marauder Dual cam that is

Still make them?

Trading in that truck made of recycled Japanese tanks already? Good show ol bean!

[ntd]

the engine is great same as ours but they have a 5r55 trans they wear the servo bores and break the OD or intermediate band at or after 70k. The reman unit has the issue addressed with a brass bushing kit. See it it's a reman unit or the original trans if original trans plan for some trans work down the road.

Heck no, love my truck. We are thinking of retiring the MM for shows and cruise nites and the like. MM is approaching 100k and it sucks in the snow although the snow tyres did help last year.

I believe Titans were to be made from Tahoe's but Nissan rejected that idea as there was to much rust to deal with

+1 on the transmission being the weak link, I've never run into any problem other then that. And don't change tire size even if you do all 4 the transfer case spazzes out!

Same motor, different heads

Same motor, different heads

i know of a few members who have gone to an aviator engine. if the heads are different it aint by much.

[SpartaPerformance]

I think heads are the same, maybe the cams are different.

She's been driving the T lately and she is in agreement that the T will pull a stock MM. It would be very close anyways.

Talk to Mike Poore. He has/had an Aviator for several years and loved it.
