The truck is stock no Mods...it was the R&D Truck for Unleashed Tuning (before suspension upgrade)

Update, it was ready to fire. Looked down yellow coolant pouring out the bottom of the engine. Of course it's a line that goes into the block behind the turbo. So pulled the turbo off, one of the fitting that goes into the block that was TIG welded for AN fitting had a small crack in it probably happened after the welding cooled down. it's kind of funny when you're paying money for something you get it in one day, if you're not it takes three days. But it's done I just have to put it back together. Of course it had to be the only fitting were the turbo had to be removed to repair it. Its close by the weekend for sure.
Took 3 months in the shop for my suspension, constantly shipping me the wrong parts...I hope they don’t ask for a good write up ..

Right on the money there! Quick trucks are more impressive than quick cars. For the money I spent I’d have got a mustang instead if I was just looking for speed

Hi Doc,

The wheels on the Mustang look identical to the 21" wheels on my 2020 Nautilus... Aftermarket? Beautiful Mustang!

Someone’s gotta find the limits of the mighty 2.3L EcoBoost so the rest of us can watch and learn vicariously.

Fyi. If you ever need to charge your battery. Disconnect it from the truck. Disconnect the ground cable will do. If not your truck will do all kinds of crazy sh it and itll take longer to charge up.
Please enlighten us with details of the crazy shit. I have visions of monkeys slinging poo!
