nope but check with the seller first, most will provide it.

[///M5 2,833]

Depends on for what car.

[///M5 2,833]

Not looking up something I don't like for you.

[///M5 2,833]

Ok.  JK, I don't have an account.  Is it from a private seller?

[MKader17 332]

Swing by and looked at it at lunch.

Too many blemishes from the initial look. It was an 08 Vortec Max (6.0L 367hp)

[dem beats 1,223]

New non shattered s8+....

 

Hmmmm 

 

Got a case for this one though... lol

[topgun 262]

Wife has a case and screen protector on hers, she pampers phones so I expect in three years it'll look new even if it didn't have a case.  

[topgun 262]

While I on the other hand am not so polite.

Even if it's in flawless condition I will have burned the internals.  

I am a user.

In that era, buy a Ford not that bowtie nonsense.

[MKader17 332]

Says the guy who bought, what is essentially, a bowtie from that era.

[MKader17 332]

Anything special I need to know about F150's from the era? Any good tuners to take them to and wake them up?

[MKader17 332]

hold up a minute....

5.0 L 360 hp (270 kW) @ 5500 rpm 380 lb·ft (520 N·m) @ 4250 rpm

3.5 L EcoBoost 365 hp (272 kW) @ 5000 rpm 420 lb·ft (570 N·m) @ 2500 rpm

Fer real?

And I assume there are good tuners out there to liven them up a bit more...

[MKader17 332]

Low end torque in my love language

[dem beats 1,223]

I have never done cocaine.  Somehow.  Never.

 

But every song about cocaine makes me feel like I am missing out.....

Get the 5.0.   The Ecoboost engines are nice, but they are all lowend.  The Coyote has the torque and it's powerband keeps climbing well past redline.    Go drive both; you'll see what I mean.  If you want a lighter truck get the 15+.  The aluminum makes for a very nimble truck.

If you were looking at a Cadillac ext I would understand.  Even then th3 GM plasticrap drives me nuts.  If you are going to modify the shit out of something then the GM aftermarket is better

They definitely used way too small of a turbo.  Does mean full boost is early but it's boring.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

They're fine in a car platform.  Hell a tune does wonders, but the trucks are just heavy bricks.  They just need more engine.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

My Lincoln is getting torn up from work.  I need a beater.  I had to drive my Dad's truck last week and had to fill that bitch up 3 times in 5 days.    Need to find something a bit more efficient.

I would say the same about my 6.2 as well lol.  A bigger turbo on the eco would kill the eco and make them a bit more lethargic from the go but with the right tune would really pull like helll higher

Should get a mustang

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Lol!

[MKader17 332]

Good to know on the 5.0 vs eco. The 5.0 is way more available.

I do need to go drive some. May do that this weekend or something.
