Trucks

F*cked Over Rebuilt Dodge

The way I see it is Ford never took a bailout, end of story. They have been the best selling truck for 34 years for a reason.

Ahhhh

I got 3 Fords sittin in the yard
Need I say more.

And 2 Harleys

You got me beat, I only have 2 Fords & 2 Harleys

Got a 97 1 Ton Ford Van with a 7.3 Powerstroke from when I had my locksmith business. Everybody wants to buy it. It has a 355 rear end and gits good fuel milage.
Got a 99 1/2 F250 SC Lariat 4x4 7.3 Poowerstroke Diesel

And a 04 F150 SC the FX4 the OL drives.

Got my 11 Ultra Limited
And the OL 09 Nightster

When I can git a couple loans paid off gonna trade the 04 FX4 in on a new XLT 4x4 Ecoboost for the OL
They have 21 Hiway and 17 city. If you drive them right you can get a little better.
The 11 models had some bugs in them. Know a lot of folks with the pre 13 models. They like the Home made Heck out of them.
IN 13 they got the bugs out.
It will probably be 2 yrs before we can git another one. MY OL will be Old by then, she will be 55.:gah:

I have a 06 F-150 FX4 Supercrew with a 5.4 and only 48,000 miles on it and an '11 XLT 4x4 with a 5.0litre. The 5.0 has 385 ft. lbs of torque 360 hp and gets 17-21 mpg and the wife doesn't want to drive anything else. Two of my friends have the new ecoboost engines in their trucks and have no complaints either.

My buddy just bought a 13 model F150 with the rubber floor mats think its the STX
He went with the 5.0 cause he likes the sound. He got a new boat. Said it gets 9mpg.
While the 5.0 makes good HP at 3800 rpm
The Ecoboost hits more HP and torque at 2300 rpm
He didn't git the Ecoboost cause he didn't want to pay the money.

I will make my wife git the Ecoboost.
She has the Ecoboost and really likes it.
I thought she was running about 55 and said stop it, she said NO. I'm already running 85, What.....

oh

I know of 3 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 5.3 engine that burn about 1 gallon of oil every 1500 miles. My best friends would start to foul plugs it was so bad. The fix was to put a oil deflector on the bottom of the cylinders to prevent the spray of oil going so far up the cylinder. He is going to keep me posted if this works or not. He has owned 16 GM trucks but after this and having a couple Fords to drive where he works this will be his last.

Know down in around 07 they was having front end problems.
Got a buddy that bought a Z71 2010 model. He had gone threw 2 sets of tires in 34,000
He went to get his front end lined up, The front end man said he needed some work done on it. He said no way, it don't even have 36,000 miles.
He took it back to the dealer for the 6th time. They said nothin was wrong. He showed them and they replaced front end parts.
He drove from Texas to Lousiana where her worked off shore.
The truck started stalling on the side of the road.
He had it back to the dealer several times. They said there is nothing wrong with it.
I said Robert, why didn't you go test drive a Ford F150 like I was asking you
Well my buddies said a Chevy is better for going hunting and gittin in the mud.
Dude I duck hunted for years, how much more mud do you think you git in.
He is a Mama's boy and can't hear.
He let the 2010 Z71 go back.
Work with another buddy that got a 08 z71. It goes fron 8 cylinders to 6 cylinders to 4 cylinders.
He fuel milage sucks. But he is a Die Hard Chevy man and you can't tell him about a new Ford truck.
He does drive a Older Model E350 van like a 89 model 15 passenger van with a V8 in it.
But he don't like Ford.
It has about 260,000 miles. He paid like 3000.00 for it. And its his work truck.

2 Fords, 2 Harley's, thinking about a third, and looking to add a Mercedes for the daughter.
