Needs 35's asap. You know, since youre an engineer.

Mine is a 1995 22RE with a 5 speed manual. It makes like 37 hp

The mircominnie has been on my radar for a while now. I really like them. That extra 1' of width is a big deal. My dad bought a 2100BH and has a Ford Expedition that is almost idential in specs to my 2014 F150 and his will get 1-2mpg better due to his trailer being 1' narrower than mine.

Agree that the ZR2 is probably overkill for your needs. If you want it, then go for it, but I don't think you need dual lockers and a mid travel suspension to get to your favorite fishing hole.

The Ecoboost turbos are really easy. I have pulled mine twice now due to warped exhaust manifolds(which is an issue with the 11-16 3.5L, not the 2017+). Even me being a shade tree mechanic could probably swap a turbo on my truck in ~2 hours. I am at 95k now. My truck has towed under very...

One thing I forgot to mention is that the swaybar on these F150's is what makes the ride feel really stiff offroad. I have yet to see a set of swaybar disconnects due to the oddity of the end link. That said, it may be worth considering pulling one end link when you know you are gunna be...

I dont use 4Lo a lot in my GX or F150 unless i am towing my trailer up a trail where i need the torque. I do use it in my 4Runner all the time because its gutless and literally cannot get up hills under its own power in 4Hi [emoji23]

I have little doubt that the turbos will last well beyond 100k as long as you don’t neglect the truck. Good oil is key, but its kinda hard to get crappy oil anymore with the new API SN+ and SP ratings anyways. I will be curious if toyota specs 10,000 mile OCI’s and 0W-20 like the 1UR and 3UR. I...

Its not a diff, its clutches. And yes, they can “lock” but its the clutch plates that are locking together and so they could, in theory, slip if there is enough torque differential between the front and rear axle. In 2Hi the clutches are fully released. In 4Auto, the clutches are varied on...

This. The normal 4Auto tcase only uses clutches to engage 4hi/4lo. There is potential for it to slip. Mine in my Lariat is questionable at times. Im not 100% sure if i always get full torque to front axle. The raptor/tremor tcase mechanically locks in addition to having the clutches. Also I...

Not to pile on with the GM bashing but here in Utah, where you see a lot of people pulling horse trailers and hay and the like, you see almost exclusively Superduty's PSD's and Ram CTD's. There is a Silverado HD sprinkled in here and there. Ford gasser HD's I have a really hard time looking...

It goes into thermal protection mode at 252F or something like that. I hit that twice before I knew what was going on. Now i drive so that I keep it from getting over 240F if i can

They did put the 6.2 in it until 2014 but it is very rare. But yes, i agree, i would buy a 7.3L F150 so fast.

Im running a setrab oil cooler in series with the oem cooler. I was worried that at low speeds the setrab might not provide enough cooling. I have been climbing some really steep grades at slow speeds before and had my coolant temps spike. Climbing from Panguich to Brianhead here in Utah is like...

The 10 speed is a game changer, especially for NA motors. I have been towing my trailer with my Lexus GX460 and it will do it, but there are times where you are in a dead zone in the 6 speed. You are either at 3500 rpm not able to hold speed, or 5700 rpm about to bounce off the rev limiter. So...

I wouldnt worry about the 2.7L. Its a very solid motor. Probably the most solid motor in the F150 lineup aside from maybe the 3.3L(and thats just a guess, i know nothing about the 3.3). The only major issue i have heard of with the 2.7 was leaking oil pans and I think they may have resolved...

I had Brew City Boost tunes and they apparently don't know how to tune around altitude(my living room is at 6500') because my truck would try and close the waste gates at 4200 rpm and up with their tune. Luckily my wastegates were getting blown open by the exhaust pressure so the turbos didnt...

I got a set of KO2 Raptor takeoffs for my truck and did the chalk test. It turned out the chalk test put me at the exact pressure that the door sticker on the Raptor reads.

Tell that to the people in the 81 page thread we have on the Ecoboost forum. I have not heard any overheating issues with the 2.7L. I don't know what the difference is other than it makes less torque at the lower end and can cope a little better. The 2015+ trucks get a larger radiator than the...

The 5100's are stiffer than stock but in a good way(IMHO). The rear end no longer hops on mid corner bumps and when you hit regular bumps you no longer get the jitter/shimmy that the stock suspension provides. So while the suspension is a little stiffer, the ride is improved due to the...
