5.4L Ford F-150 ROUSHcharger Kit P/N R07000001 Installation Instructions
This ROUSHcharger kit is designed and tested to function properly only on vehicles as they are equipped from the factory (completely stock powertrains). The use of aftermarket parts and equipment such as: cams, headers, nitrous oxide systems, other bolt-on performance parts, or any other performance parts not sold by, manufactured by, or approved of in writing by Roush for specific application to the F-150, 5.4 liter ROUSHcharger, will result in powertrain and ROUSHcharger kit damage, including potential total engine failure, and will not be the responsibility of Roush in any way.
Premium fuel (91 octane minimum) is required to help reduce the possibility of “spark-knock” or detonation under various operating conditions. Operating your engine without the Roush PCM recalibration will result in engine damage or failure and will void all warranty.
The following section will guide you through the disassembly of the stock components on the 5.4 L 3V engine. Special care should be taken to label fasteners and parts that are taken off during this procedure since many will be used again. In order to facilitate photography, some of the following photos show the hood removed from the vehicle. Hood removal is not required in order to install the kit, but it does improve access to the rear of the engine compartment. If you do wish to remove the hood, mark the hood hinge bracket locations (with paint pen, marker, etc.) to ensure proper alignment when reinstalling, then remove the two bolts on each side holding the hood to the brackets and remove the hood (you will need an assistant for this job). If you remove the support struts from the hinge brackets, this will allow the hinges and struts to lie flat, and improves the fit of the fender liners.
1. Disconnect the ground terminal from the battery.
2. Remove the PCM (powertrain control module) by
disconnecting the three electrical connectors and four 10mm bolts.
