⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Options 2014:

Commonly available with a 4.6L V8 Triton (3-valve), 5.4L V8 Triton (3-valve), and a 6.8L V10 Triton (3-valve) gasoline engines. Diesel options such as the 6.0L or 6.4L Power Stroke might be found in earlier or specialized configurations, but less common for 2014 passenger/cargo vans. The 6.2L V8 may also be present.

Common Engine Variant Details:

4.6L 3V V8: Approx. 255-265 HP, 290-305 lb-ft torque. 5.4L 3V V8: Approx. 300 HP, 365 lb-ft torque. 6.8L 3V V10: Approx. 305 HP, 420 lb-ft torque. (Exact figures vary by model year and specific configuration).

Torque Examples:

Approximate torque figures: 4.6L V8: ~300-320 lb-ft; 5.4L V8: ~380-400 lb-ft; 6.8L V10: ~425-450 lb-ft.

Injection Type:

Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) with sequential port injection or direct injection depending on specific engine variant.

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type Standard:

Typically a 4-speed automatic (e.g., 4R75E) or a 6-speed automatic (e.g., 6R80) depending on engine and configuration.

Transmission Type Optional:

Manual transmissions were phased out or very rare for E350 models in this era, primarily automatic.

Transmission Features:

Tow/haul mode, electronic controls, adaptive shift logic.

📐 Dimensions

Wheelbase Options:

Various wheelbase options were available, typically ranging from 138 inches to 178 inches for different body styles (van vs. cutaway chassis).

Length Options:

Varies by configuration, from standard wheelbase vans to extended length versions and cutaway chassis which can be upfitted with various body types.

Gvwr Range:

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) varied significantly by configuration, generally ranging from 9,500 lbs to 14,500 lbs or higher for specialized chassis.

🛡️ Safety Features

NHTSA Ratings:

Specific NHTSA ratings for 2014 E350 are model and configuration dependent. Generally, large vans of this era focused on structural integrity and basic safety systems rather than extensive electronic driver aids.

Braking Systems:

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) standard on all wheels. Available Electronic Stability Control (ESC) depending on trim and configuration.

Restraint Systems:

Front airbags for driver and passenger. Three-point seatbelts for all seating positions. Available side-curtain airbags for certain configurations.

🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typical interval: 7,500 miles or 6 months, or based on oil life monitoring system. Consult manual for specific engine and oil type. Use synthetic blend or full synthetic oil.

Transmission Service:

Automatic transmission fluid and filter change recommended every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on operating conditions (e.g., heavy towing, stop-and-go traffic). Consult manual for exact interval and fluid type.

Spark Plug Replacement:

For 3-valve Triton engines (e.g., 5.4L, 6.8L), spark plug replacement is critical and typically recommended around 100,000 miles. Torque specifications and proper installation are crucial to prevent issues like seized plugs.

Coolant Flush Interval:

Recommended coolant flush and replacement every 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Engine Oil Type:

Commonly SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30 synthetic blend or full synthetic meeting Ford specifications (e.g., WSS-M2C204-A2 or equivalent).

Coolant Type:

Ford Premium Engine Coolant (Green) or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B51-A1 (for some earlier models) or newer equivalent. Typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.

Transmission Fluid Type:

Mercon LV (Low Viscosity) for 6R80 transmissions. Mercon V for 4R75E transmissions. Always verify with the manual.

Brake Fluid Type:

DOT 3 Motorcraft Ultra Synthetic Brake Fluid or equivalent.

Common Problems Engine:

Spark plug thread erosion or seizing on 3-valve Triton engines (especially 5.4L and 6.8L V10), fuel injector issues, cooling system leaks (hose failures, radiator issues), carbon buildup on intake valves.

Common Problems Transmission:

Torque converter shudder or clutch pack wear in automatic transmissions under heavy use, potential for transmission fluid leaks.

Common Problems Chassis:

Wear on ball joints, tie rod ends, and bushings due to vehicle weight and usage. Brake component wear. Potential for exhaust manifold leaks/cracks.

Oil Filter Example:

Motorcraft FL-820-S or equivalent (for 4.6L/5.4L) or FL-199A (for 6.8L V10).

Air Filter Example:

Motorcraft FA-1778 or equivalent.
