Ford’s 5.4 liter V8 engines delivers smooth yet powerful performance, there’s very little that the manufacturer needs to improve on with exception of gas mileage. That’s where the aftermarket community comes in. There are a large number of available performance products that will increase your gas mileage and horsepower. Don’t worry about rising summer gas prices, here are a few products you can buy at auto retail outlets and install in the same day with basic hand tools.

Probably the easiest and most widely available performance part you can buy is a higher flowing air filter from. A performance air filter will do a couple things for you. A higher flowing filter will help the engine breathe better by intaking more clean air into your intake, therefore netting you 8-10 more horsepower and increasing gas mileage 1-3 mpg’s. Another great feature is the reusability of the filter, there are cleaning solvents available you can use or just rinse off the dust and debris. Therefore making your overall maintenance costs lower. These particular air filters are made by K&N and Airaid and are available at retailers like Wal-Mart, Autozone, and Pep Boys.

After preparation comes the easy part.

Putting on truck bed paint couldn’t be easier. That’s because the paint is so thick and has so much texture, it covers almost any kind of defect. What’s more, you can brush it on, roll it on or spray it on and the finished coat looks the same. That’s because of the type of paint. It looks almost just like a much more expensive spray on liner.

Now it isn’t the same though. But mainly because it isn’t nearly as thick as a professional liner. But it isn’t nearly as expensive either.

Plus with the Herculiner you can get a color other than black too. You can choose red, gray and white as well. Also the Herculiner coating is noted for it’s very thick appearing texture. That’s because the rubber pieces in the paint are larger than the competition. It looks even more like a pro liner than other liner paints do.

A truck bed mat is cheap protection for the paint on your pickup. But it’s more. It’s also a great way to protect an expensive bed liner from damage. Sacrifice the easy to replace rubber or carpet bed mat instead of the much more expensive liner
