It doesn't have to make economic sense to you at all,or anyone for that matter. I have owned diesels in the past,and it's my preferred engine option. NO, I have no need for a f150/250/350.
DIESEL,I want a diesel option.Also,I need both the crew cab AND a 6+ ft bed. Work on it please. Center console armrest that isn't almost usable from the back seats,(sarc). More color choices,PLEASE. Not only do I love my truck,my wife loves it too,so kudos to Ford for making that part of my life...

My last new vehicle,a 2015 ram promaster city wagon,I ran royal purple AND their microfiber filter. Had the oil changed once a year,and it was still very very clean. Cleaner than any other oil/filter combo I had tried. And yes,that includes Mobile 1 full synth.
This time around I will go...
Back in the days of distributors,after a fresh build or rebuild,used an old distributor shaft on a drill and primed the oil galleries until at least 40psi showed .Priming done.
Welcome home brother,and thank you for your service. I flew two tours in Vietnam,and on my first I was in a bad crash,(engine failure). It compressed my spine/neck,and broke my left shoulder. When taken to the evac,without xrays they pronounced it was 'muscle strain'. I was prior to that crash...
I've already had my 'smiles per gallon' back in the muscle car days,(60's and early 70's). Now I want,and have a truck that is fast,powerful and efficient. By improving overall efficiency,one is also improving performance. Just not to the level that most want. And if a tune does leave a...
Back in my off roading days,often the larger tires needed some extra attention. To see if the inflation is about right,we would 'chalk the tires'. Using the big chalk you can get at most builders supply store,( Lowes/home depot) etc. Take that chalk and lay it on it's side,(length wise) and...
I have the 18's,hankooks on my ranger Lariat,sc/sb/mt pkg/fx4. Door label says 30psi,front and rear. When I picked it up,two were 0ver 40psi,one at 39psi,and one at 35 psi. Dealer prep,ya gotta love it...I have them all at 32psi now.
Did a road trip,314 miles,than filled up,21.835mpg. That was with less than 1k miles on it.For that trip,mostly hwy,and lots of hills/passes.Hwy posted sl is 65,I kept it on cruise for the most part with it set at 68mph. Once off the hwy it was fairly slow going all the way to the PCH,on up into...
Hi Phil,
Somewhat true. But today's intake systems seem to be pretty good at flowing air. The exhaust offers much more restriction than the intake does. Freeing that up will allow the stock intake system to really flow better. HOWEVER,I will not use an oiled filter. Not K&N,not anybody's.My last...
If I mod a vehicle,the very first change is always the exhaust system. That alone will show you a bigger improvement then leaving it,(exhaust), stock and throwing on a cai. The stock intake will flow crazy better with the exhaust freed up.
It has been my experience that the biggest gain over a stock config is the exhaust. Free that up for the biggest gain in a stock setup. A cai is fine,but one needs to free up the exhaust first. I'm not much on tuners as an exhaust system and cai doesn't void the warranty.
