Got my '15 3.5 Eco with 38K. Now has 110K. Only issue I've had is sometimes I have to flip the visor down to block the sun.
😂 hey that’s not a bad problem to have right there. Hopefully my troubles are behind me.
🤣😂🤣 Same with my 2014 I had a fuel injector thingy replacement at 116k. Love my truck!
If I was with you.. I would replace the timing guides (sprockets with the updated ones) & water pump
290 on a 13, throttle body and 2 oxy sensors. Original engine and turbos. I did replace the garbage stock plugs with e3 plugs. I had misfire issues with brand new plugs. At around 100k from flooring it everywhere, my vehicle would go limp mode flash the check engine light then the light would good off a few minutes laters and drive fine. That might be his problem. Just replace all 6 and see what happens.
Is the issue covered by warranty?
5.0 is the only one I would consider. I tend to keep things forever, but if you trade out trucks every few years, it's cool to try new things. I had an OBS Chevy truck when I bought a Ford. I no longer have that Ford, but still have that old Chevy.
A larger “Intercooler” is what you need. Also you can set up a nos intercooler spray that keeps the air super cold for the turbos. Another trick is taking the auto intercooler temp flaps ( for a lack of the technical term) out to where there is always ambient air flowing through.
Yes I meant intercooler not sure why I said radiator 😂. Definitely going to order one here soon
Are you referring to the active air shutter behind the grille?
Had 2015,2018, now 2021 hybrid love every one of them. Have to be careful when you modify things. Tires change things also.
Absolutely bro I understand. I put a lot more strain on a trip with my current set up.
What you need to keep the turbos from heat soaking is a bigger intercooler not a bigger radiator. I put in a CVF intercooler in mine and night & day difference in keeping the intake air temps cold and retaining power. You should look into that, it's an easy install and you'll really feel the difference on hot days. When you're doing it, you may want to upgrade your blow-off-valve if you want to hear the blow off sound of your turbos. I have a video of it in my profile if you want to hear what it sounds like.
Yes, I said radiator but I meant intercooler. I definitely going to look into that next.
100% specially the blow off valve. They are not capable of handling the extra boost. No offense, but you complaining about the 3.5 cus you thought everything would just workout with a universal tune. I found out the hard way as well. Limp mode when launch from 0. BOV could not handle it
@@KickinItWithQ I believe you have a light bar blocking airflow to your intercooler too, may want to remove that?
It may look like it’s blocking a lot of airflow, but he’s really not. The license plate that goes there blocks out more air.
I have had 4 3.5’s since their introduction. Trade at 200000 or so. Only problems have been few coil packs. One water pump. But mine are run stock and I don’t go past 4000 on a oil change. I change oil myself and use only Mobil 1. 5.0 are great engines to. I just love the power and how the 3.5 drives. Anything on wheels can have any problem anytime.
A few other guys have said that they change their oil a lot more frequent as well. I may need to look into that.
332,000 miles on my 2013 SuperCrew XLT 5.0 truck and it still runs like the day I bought it new. Only motor work done is timing cover gasket and water pump. Best vehicle I have ever owned, hands down!
The 5.0 coyote that is in those are also in the mustangs and is one of the best engines ford has ever produced.
Nice!
How many miles did you get out of the factory water pump? I’m at 201k on mine. So far so good.
@@kentjohnson8266 I’m at 305 thousand and still not changed it
364,000 on my 2011 F150. 5.0. Changed water pump @330,000. Nothing wrong w/ the water pump. replaced brushes in the Alternator because had to replace oil pressure switch because of leak, since I had to remove the Alternator figure I would inspect & change it. The truck still runs great.
I'm so proud of you, and to see how far you have come with this page!
I'm really impressed with all your mechanical talk, knowing damn well when you bought the truck you probably didn't even know how to unlock the doors without the owners manual.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂 🤣 Man I’ve definitely come a long way, bro I still don’t get to work on stuff myself unless it’s super easy lol. But knowledge is power for sure. 💪🏾
Start switching out the radiator and heat extractors to keep it running cooler
Q my man you’re a real one! That’s why I stayed subscribed even after I traded my ecoboost F150! Excited for what the future of the channel looks like it’s gonna be 🔥
Thanks bro I appreciate you sticking around here for the catina support. Definitely means a lot.
Ueah straight up talk anybody can find info useful
Ive been wanting an Ecoboost anything for a long time. And I've been hearing all the issues about them for a long time and now I feel like I'm more prepared for a Ecoboost because I know preventative maintenance is key and some built better aftermarket mods
You going be surprise.
The biggest issue I've had with mine is the issue he is describing. Its a spark plug issue. When you get one just get spark plugs and have them installed to the specified depth.
Great post Terrance! '14 EcoBoost owner here... I been following Q for a bit, and he certainly has inspired me a bit on my build. Preventative maintenance is the key... also... the parts Ford uses are trash.... I went CVF for my Hot/Cold pipes, intercooler, and catted down pipe... BBK throttlebody and aFe Intake, with MBRP exhaust. Added a tune, and there is not a better rig in my area. LOVE IT! 138+k miles.
@joshz7712 spark plugs aren't a difficult job to do. Gapping them isn't hard either. Also you shouldn't go as long on a set of plugs with eb as on a NA motor. Turbos are hard on plugs. I don't care what the plugs say they are good for. If you've gone 80 or 90k on plugs with these motors you went too long. They might drive just fine under normal conditions but under a load you will start having misfires.
My 2012 3.5 has been great. It’s completely stock and has towed RV’s, boats, etc. I had to replace the fuel pump, but no major issues. That’s pretty good for an 11 year old truck. I like the set up on the truck in this video. Looks good!
Thanks man I appreciate you sharing your experience as well as watching video!
I have a 2019 F150 Roush 5.0L with an Oz Omega X tune and I love it, especially with the Oz tune. I’m able to run a 50/50 mix of E85 and 93 octane, which further increases the performance due to the highly increased octane. The only problem I’ve had with the 5.0L is that I had to have the VCT intake solenoids replaced at 40K miles, but fortunately that fell under warranty. But, I’ve never had any issues with oil consumption. The exhaust sounds great too, with the Roush cat-back exhaust and the Roush Cold Air Intake. I’d highly recommend the 5.0L’s from 2018-2023 because they run great naturally-aspirated, and they can always be supercharged for even more power.
Thanks for sharing man!
I love my 2nd gen ecoboost. It’s amazing. Best engine I have ever owned.
Glad you are enjoying it bro I hear a great things about them and like I said, so far, I’ve only had one issue related to it being a ecoboost
2018 Coyote with 80k. No issues, easy to work on. V8 sound. Ecoboost performance is amazing when tuned in comparison, but most people can't work on them due to the "plumbing" and complex issues of turbos. N/A is the way to go. Go V8 and get a coyote, you won't regret it! The new 10 speeds shift amazing too.... My lariat is all stock though
Yea man I’m definitely learning the hard way hopefully my issue behind me. If not definitely moving on
Most people cant work on them? What shop do you go to lmfao
@@codylucier4688 most people, not shops, for those gifted with eyesight lmfao
Can't go wrong with a 5.0!
Glad your 2018 was good. I had a 2018 5.0 and the transmission had to get rebuilt and the so did the engine at 105K miles. Ended up selling and going back to the 3.5. 120K miles and no issues minus a coolant leak. Every engine has issues just depends on maintenance and honestly roll of the dice
Last February I got a 2020 lariat 3.5, so far I love it but it’s completely stock because I don’t want to mess up my warranty! I love your truck man, it’s sharp!
Congrats on the truck! And thanks man i appreciate that
I have a 2014 Ford Flex with the 3.5 Ecoboost. I haven’t done anything to it and it’s a blast to drive. Your truck is slick.
Thanks man I appreciate that and just like you many others have said the same thing
VERY IMPORTANT : When you had the coolant lines replaced on the turbos, did you or the tech replaced the small inline filters, there’s 1 for each turbo and you’ll want to if you value your engine from this point on.
I’m not sure bro am I video that I talked about everything they repaired I show the receipt and I was a long list of things. I can’t recall if that was on there. But see to my point this is just too much to keep up with me lol don’t have to worry about all this on a V-8.
Tommy is right bc most of tech guys don’t bother replacing those
@@DanielWraps Are fords doing that too? I only knew of gm and the rams having that 8 to 4 cylinder mode
@@4rubberzaday every engine has its problems nowadays
@@TevynSmith Yeah but that’s by design. If you look at car from the early 2000s to about 2007 they’re still running great at 200k+ miles but a car 2 years old nowadays needs a new engine with 40k miles on them. Got a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix with 320k miles and it hasn’t missed a beat. Won’t get those results from new cars unfortunately
Dude! This shit happened to me. I did some RUclips homework and found out it was my spark plugs. I installed the new ford spark plugs and it fixed the problem. It’s $60 fix and you can do it yourself. Hopefully this is what it is but I would check the plugs. Peace man!
Thanks man! I replaced the spark plugs at about 60k miles so they have about 30k on them now. They are gapped to .28 because of the tune.. Think it’s time for new ones?
@@KickinItWithQ I have the same 2015 3.5 l echobeast and it did the same thing on heavy acceleration. Like it was about to die and it ran rough like I was riding braille. Scared the crap out of me. It wouldn’t do it with normal driving though. After I replaced the spark plugs it runs way better. I put the tune back on and it’s a beast again. Just wanted to share with you. I need to start making videos again. Lol
You definitely should make videos man. OK I think I might add spark plugs to the top of the list.
@@KickinItWithQ that’s your issue mine did the same at 90k miles changed spark plugs and the boots and problem fixed , plugs tend to go out around 30k-50k miles on these engines
GREAT VID! I own an older N/A F150 and I I’ve started a maintenance cycle to keep her running. I’m doing all of the work myself because it’s a simple design. I’m a delivery driver; I drive a class B truck. One day my boss told me to take the company Transit van packing a 3.5 Ecoboost to make a few small deliveries. Man….. I HAD MY FOOT IN THAT VAN ALL DAY. Ecoboost DON’T PLAY….LOL. I am IMPRESSED with the torque, horsepower, and acceleration. You have a REALLY NICE LOOKING TRUCK! Take care!
Haha 😂 they are very fast! Fun to drive. Thanks for sharing your experience man.
I have the 2013 f150 5.o xlt extended cab and just hit 140000 with no issues. It doesn't burn oil. I run full synthetic and it's been a great truck. It's mostly still stock.
I had that issue with mine and it was condensation in the intercooler. If it’s hot outside the intercooler works too efficiently and produces condensation. The sudden surge of boost pulls the “water” into the engine fouling the spark plugs. I ended up drilling a 3/32 week hole in the bottom of the intercooler and have not had anymore issues in 4 years now.
Another guy said the same thing I have to look into this I’ve never heard of this before. Thanks for sharing information man.
@@KickinItWithQ tuned eco boosts tend to run through spark plugs a little quicker. Not a bad idea to swap them out.
Thanks for the info man!
Yes I did this successfully for 230xxx miles. Got my truck at 30xxx
Towed it's entire life.
1. I’ll take the sound of a v8 over the sound of an ecoboost any day.
2. How do you buy a truck without knowing what engine it has? If I’m going to spend that much on a truck the first thing I’m going to do is make sure it’s a v8.
Man, bro when I tell you, I didn’t know anything about trucks. I was such a rookie. I’m the first person in my family to ever even on the truck. I’m even the first person at all my friends they have a truck 😂. I was the test dummy.
@@KickinItWithQ oh ok lol. I’ve been a truck guy for almost 23 years now. I’ve had 2 v6 trucks and 2 v8 trucks. I know a lot of people like the twin turbo ecoboost but for me personally, if I’m going to spend the amount of money they want for these trucks, I’m going to get a v8 or a turbo diesel. Also I like to put an aftermarket muffler on my truck and After having 2 v6 trucks, I know me and I know that I would be disappointed every time I start it and hear a v6 🤣. Hopefully all that makes sense lol.
😂 hey I definitely understand what you’re saying man. And I will say the Ford coyote sounds damn good! Thanks for sharing your insides of feedback man I appreciate
@@KickinItWithQ yeah, I’ve heard a lot of good things about the coyote engine. For the record you do have a really nice truck 👍
Look back through half ton truck history and lots of engines have issues v-8 or not. About the only one I have never heard a bad thing about is a Cummins, Duramax close second, old 7.2. Almost all had some issues. Not all parts and mechanics are the same. Some awesome, some not. Ecoboost is usually pushing or pulling much less weight so it's not putting the strain on the engine that people think. Towing or big payload yes it might strain it some but the Ecoboost engines were tested pretty intensely before they were put in a full size truck. A Toyota Tacoma weighs about 4000 lbs, an Ecoboost weighs a little more. A v-6 has no problem pushing a Tacoma at about 275 horsepower with zero turbos. So why would a truck that weighs a few hundred pounds more have issues with a better engine (arguably) and 2 turbos as far as engine strain is concerned that is. That's the argument I hear more than anything. That and the turbo maintenance. But if you're gonna buy a diesel, lots of those have turbos as well. I love your truck by the way. And don't get me wrong. Love a V8, I'm a Chevy small block kinda guy myself but both the 2.7 and 3.5 are great engines all things considered. In my opinion obviously
Love the video concept. Real world conversations. I’m a big ford truck person. On my 5th full size about to get 2023. Had a 2015 4X4 5.0L 7” lift stretched on 37” tires. Stock gears with CAI AND CAT BACK. Ran it for 100K plus miles. Daily driven, worked hard and played harder. Never had any problems. Basic maintenance only. Can’t go wrong with 5.0L. Also just so you know the 5.0L out tows the Eco😉. Great job on the video bro.
I’d have to disagree that the 5.0 “out-tows” the Ecoboost. Yeah, the 5.0 will get better fuel mileage… because when the 3.5 gets into the turbos, it becomes thirsty… but this is why the MaxTow for the 3.5 Ecoboost is 14k lbs, and the MaxTow for the 5.0 is 11k lbs. I’ve owned both. 5.0 pulling 9k uphill, downshift to 7th gear and run 5500 RPMs - Same trailer, same load, same hill, same speed - the stock Ecoboost drops to 9th gear running 2400 RPMs. Two different animals, I guess it really comes down to what you prefer.
@@bigf1502 to each his own brotha. I’m just basing this on my own experience. I’ve had quite a few of them, all lifted (leveled to 7” kits) with 33-37 inch tires. My MPG was still waaaaaay better with the 5.0L and my trailer with full and mid size race car etc. no problems. That 2017 3.5L Eco on just leveling kit and slightly bigger tires was horrible. Thirsty is a understatement to say the least, and it struggled to get up to speed with trailer. I know on paper things look and sounds good but driving these trucks daily you see the difference. ina former certified Ford tech so I’ve seen a thing or two with these trucks. There great trucks either way but based on what your gonna do with them, plan ahead when purchasing.
@@patrickthomas4646 Maybe you had the non turbo’d v6? Lol… I’ve owned both as well, a 10 speed V8, and a 10 speed 3.5 Twin-Turbo V6… the TT V6 is a better choice when towing and/or daily driver. People love to hate the Turbo’d trucks, because they’ve owned/never driven them. I’ll likely never go back to a NA V8, I miss the sound sometimes, but at the end of the day… they shit all over the NA V8s. That’s the truth. The future is forced induction v6 - or turbo diesel, but with turbo diesel you have to deal with DEF (unless deleted/ tuned). The sound that the v8 makes, and mpg while towing are the only things that are positive on the NA v8 vs twin turbo v6. The twin turbo v6 will tow better than the NA v8. That is a guarantee. Stock, or with a tune. The only way a 5.0 will tow as comfortably as a 3.5 is with a supercharger, and your looking at 8k-10k+ for that. Stock 3.5 Ecoboost with 1k vested gets you 500HP, 600 Ft-Lb torque at the wheel. I’m not knocking the 5.0… the 5.0 stock IN A ROLL RACE will slightly pull on a stock 3.5 Ecoboost. The 3.5 Ecoboost stock will pull on the 5.0 from a dig. Under load, the Ecoboost will pull much easier and more comfortable than the 5.0, and that’s the truth. Anyone with brains will know this. Thus is why an Ecoboost with 35s will be equivalent to a 5.7 hemi or even the 5.0 on 32s from 0-governor. The torque gets the truck moving to top speed much quicker because of the torque difference.
I agree with the “Plan ahead when purchasing”…
If you’re going to sink 10k+ into a handheld/ supercharger / tune, get the 5.0, and have a 700HP/ 600 Ft-Lbs Torque monster.
If you’re going to throw 1k into a handheld/ tune… get the 3.5 Ecoboost and have 500HP/ 600 Ft-Lbs Torque monster.
But just to let everyone know…
If you get the Ecoboost… you’ll never have the sound of the v8. You probably won’t miss it very often tho. You have to change the oil more often in the Ecoboost vs 5.0 (because it’s constantly being rotated by the 5.0s oil consumption). Spark plugs need changed every 30k-40k miles on the Ecoboost (100 bucks every few years). If you tow, you’ll get worse fuel mileage than the 5.0 while towing. Empty, the 3.5 will get slightly better fuel mileage. Gen 2/3 Ecoboost has dual timing chains, it’s really not an issue like it was on the first Gen. Any truck you purchase, from any manufacturer, put a catch can on it. If you lift the truck, stock vs stock or tuned vs tuned, the NA vehicle will be slower. I still average 20mpg+ with my lifted 3.5 Ecoboost on 35s while driving on the highway. I’m not saying that one is better than the other, it’s all in what the buyer prefers. I can’t personally speak on longevity, as I never keep any vehicle past 100k miles… although I see a lot of 5.0s and Ecoboosts with 250k+ for sale in my area, and not a lot of GMs or Rams with 250k+ for sale.
@@bigf1502 lol. Again it’s basically it’s what YOU like and what you want to do with it,is what it comes down to. I don’t and never will knock any vehicle. V6 V8 supercharged turbo doesn’t matter. I have and had several cars super cars and hemi as well fully built turbo cars and so on I get it I understand what you’re trying to say I agree with you and if you really must know that eco-boost 3.5 will make in the upwards close to 900 horse with the right mods and pretty much stock internals like I said I’m a former Ford certified tech, I actually took a class on this and I actually know engineers personally so I know what I’m talking about, it’s not to knock anybody. My choice is the V8 power and yes with a some bolt ons like a supercharger or even maybe a TwinTurbo kit definitely will walk over most of anything, but is it worth it probably not but I appreciate the debate.. My eco boost was good, but in a lifter close to 7k pound truck the V8 in my experience is a better option. The V8 sound is definitely a bonus. Take care.
Lol you may prefer the v8 for various reasons, but 5.0 in no way pulls better than the 3.5tt. I pull my 5k lb camper (nowhere near as much as I'm rated for) and the only time it ever even hit 3k rpm is when I go to pass. It runs 2200 to 2400 uphill through the mountains. You might get better fuel economy but that's about it.
I own a 2018 5.0 with a 6 inch lift on 35’s. Have had it for a few years now and haven’t had any trouble/maintenance issues with the power pack at all. It’s also not very sluggish at all but I’m not running 37s either so can’t speak on that. Love your vids bro keep it going 🔥🔥
It’s red too btw haha
Haha nice..Yea jumping from 35s to 37s I noticed a big difference for sure. I could still move pretty quick with my 35s
I recently bought a 2023 F150 XLT FX4 with the 3.5 Ecoboost. I found the 400 Horsepower and 500 Lbs of Torque is more than enough power. I was a little concerned before I lifted it but to be honest it gets up and goes. Being a V8 guy for many years and test driving both, hands down I have to give it to the Ecoboost. If sound is important than hands down the V8 is better but I like my truck as quiet as I can get it. If you get a F250 having that warranty is such a must. I owned a 2006 and a 2017 F250 and on both the Warranty came in handy. Your videos are great. Keep making them.
Thanks bro I appreciate your sharing all the information and feedback. Yes, the eco-boost performance is amazing! I agree with you 5.0 for the sound
Man just traded in my 18 5.0L and got a new 22 3.5L and I’m absolutely loving it. I had a similar set up as you on my 5.0 and never went anywhere fast. That flowmaster super 10 with a resonator delete did sound amazing though. Will probably stick with the 3.5 or a diesel from now on.
Yea the 3.5 is a beast of an engine man! They can really go!
I understand your frustration, if I had to do it over again I would get F-350 4x4 Crew Cab Diesel, Black, without chrome, I hate chrome. They have pretty good height from the factory, just would need bigger wheels and tires.
Also the quality is much better on the super duty as well.
Depending on why you take your truck in, most dealers won’t hook up any type of scan tool. We already have enough to do, lol. I’m a Ford tech…I would own a 3.5 eco, but ONLY if I bought it brand new…so many people neglect maintenance with these trucks and that is key to making these last.
I'm learning about the maintencance now. Some are recommending 3k oil changes as opposed to 5k
I own a 2017 F150 FX4 5.0L V8 4X4 81K miles on it. I recently had to have the front transmission coolant lines be replaced because they had a slow leak from corrosion. Othwrwise the truck has been rock solid.
Love your videos.. you keep it real. Thank you 👍
Glad you enjoy them bro! I appreciate you watching
Ive seen on forums the ecoboost needs spark plugs as little as every 30k miles. Also make sure you turn off stability trac and traction comtrol before hard excleration. I had my truck go into limp mode after i hard accelereted through an intersection. Shut it off and back on everything was great again. My desiel mechanic buddy told me to turn all that crap off, if it starts to lose traction it freaks the electronics out sometimes and throws the truck into limp mode.
Good to know, bro. And I am at about 30 K on my current spark plugs.
Another banger video. Just picked up my 2015 f150 lariat last week. Love it so far. Keep up the good videos. Love your truck.
Congrats on the new truck man enjoy it
Dude great video!! Feels like you’re having an actual conversation with the viewers!!
Thanks bro glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching
Don’t do the v8 Q!came from a 14 xlt 5.0 with the pipes and the intake.Was always a v8 guy had the loudest pipes on there you could get..Said fuck it one day wanted to try a fully loaded ecoboost..Glad I did,put a rough country exhaust on,cvf titan v2 intercooler,racing spark plugs,cold air intake which I took off cause that hissing was annoying.all the custom tunes from 5 star it’s night and day the eco boost kills the 5.0 in every situation.Just my 2 cents don’t take 2 steps backwards unless you through on a huge blower with the 5.0 and love getting 12mpg
Also the cam phasers were a recall here in Canada got it done when I got the truck didn’t cost me a dime,that turbo leaking just get under that truck watch a couple videos and do it yourself hasn’t been anything yet I haven’t been able to do from the garage
I own a 2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost Platinum. Roush power pack, Borla Exhaust. I have 130,000 miles on it and the only problem I've had is a small oil leak around the timing chain cover which was fixed under warranty. I've driven it out of town at least once or twice a year. Towed trailers, etc. Roush tune didn't void warranty when I had a warranty. Truck runs great.
Good stuff
the issues i have with the 8 is if you mod it to get any HP you have turbo or supercharge it which is big money 10-15k to get another 100 hp out of it where as a eco will cost you about 500 for a tune to get the same HP and torque
Facts very true bro!
I had the same issue on my 2020.changed the coil packs and it fixed the issue.
Def think I’m doing new coils
I have a 2016 Ford F-150 with the 5.0 in it. It’s lifted and on 35s with a edge CTS3 performance tune it definitely gets up and goes pretty fast for a big truck. If you end up going with a 5.0 you can not be disappointed! Also I have a resonator delete and muffler delete with quad tips sounds like a beast!
Yea until you get a oil burning 5.0 like 75% of them are
@@tyelorj49 That was only a defect on the 18-20 5.0's
Nice! Sure that thing sounds good!
@@skrsys you’re going off of what you’ve read on every forum. Both of my 15 5.0s burned oil and had vct issues
I got family with the five owes and they've never had any old burning problems zero anywhere from 2012 the 3.5s I know four different people that has had turbo problems bad fuel mileage lots of issues the 2.7 hasn't had any problems only problem is oil leaks
Thought I was subscribed since all your videos pop up on RUclips feed. I am now though lol. Proud of you man! Definitely have to start my channel for 2013 F150! Keep going brodie!! Love from GA!!
Lol! Ayee I appreciate the sub bro! Def start that channel man!
My man Q! It’s been a while since I tapped in 🤘🏽😆 Love to see you still doing your thang!
Ayee I appreciate it bro! Thanks for popping in
@@KickinItWithQ sorry you had to deal with a whole bunch of problems with your truck recently. Honest to God, I had a coolant leakage problem myself on my 1st gen Colorado.I got it fixed three Saturdays ago. The connector hose and connection plug were hella bad and after I’d drive it, coolant was pouring out from underneath. I first thought it was power steering fluid since my alignments have been bad, but it was sort of a relief when I found out it was coolant.
Honestly for a 1st gen 3.5 Ecoboost the best mod would be a water/meth injection kit. It would cool up the intake air temps while cleaning up the backsides of the intake valves. This would also increase the potential power gains, especially if you know a reputable person who can tune on a dyno.
I know alot of people dont mind getting tunes VIA email, but having it tuned with the weather conditions at your location will really make it run better.
Good info with the meth injection. Thanks For sharing that. The tune definitely helps
My foxbody is turbo. But I did upgrade to a bigger intercooler and a cowl hood. So far seems to run cool. I would look into those for your truck to help get rid of the heat in the engine bay. Also keep an eye on your air charge temps in the hotter months.
I’m definitely look into a bigger, intercooler bro. Thanks for sharing.
I also use the same exact tuner from 5star tuning. My truck rips now after changing the spark plugs.
I’ve had both Cam Phasers replaced, one turbo was leaking coolant and had that taken care of. Recently my plastic oil pan was leaking oil like crazy and had that replaced as well…thank God for my extended warranty. However, I still absolutely love my truck though. Lastly, get a larger intercooler bro, I went with a FMIC because it looks dope behind the grille. Since installed I’ve had no more heat soak of any kind and the turbo noise is louder too.
Geez! Long as you’re happy with a man and thank God for Cindy warranty for sure I regret not getting one lol. Yes, definitely bigger in a cooler I said radiator but I’m not sure why but I definitely want to look into that to help keep her cool.
Big Blue 2013 3.5 with 131k and runs great. Same tune. Bigger and heavier mud tires, bigger intercooler, Dual exhaust, plus K&N cold air intake. I love it.
Nice bro! Nice choice of mods
Sorry to hear that bro. I just bought a 2016 with the 5.0 coyote engine took me a while to find it . I wanted to to stay from any echo boost for that reason didn’t want to deal with any turbos .
Yeah, the ecoboost The great bro but the maintenance I’m learning is a real headache
Had the same exact issue! Exhaust (corsa extreme) popping like crazy when I really hit the gas, my truck is also tuned with same tuner you have. Couple times I got a flashing check engine light. Finally took it to a local shop. Turns out it was bad/cheap spark plugs. Put new plugs in it (same kind that come from factory) and new coil packs. Runs like a dream now, no issues. I am thinking of getting away from my ecoboost as well and going v8 gas or even power stroke. Leaning towards power stroke
Yea I swapped my plugs when I tuned it. They have about 30K miles on them. others have said ecos run through spark plugs faster. You didn't gap the stock plugs since you are running a tune?
@@KickinItWithQ I did not gap the plugs, and never had any issues. This last set of plugs that the local mechanic put in (who was a ford technician for a long time before opening his own shop) said the plugs he took out caused fords to be a little finicky. I forget the brand, maybe champion?? Can’t say for sure but whatever they were he said they were good in Toyotas and a couple other manufacturers. Ever since he changed my plugs and coil packs about 3 months ago, I have had zero issues and my truck runs perfectly fine.
Gotcha I appreciate the information man.
Have 2013 with 5.0 with 305 thousand miles with zero issues. Chose that over the eco boost
I've seen several of your videos over the past couple years. I just read the captions.
BRO!!! YOUR TRUCK IS BEAUTIFUL.
YOU GOT PLENTY OF MONEY.
I BOUGHT A ONE OFF 2013. WITH A BAD MOTOR.
Ford dropped a fresh updated Eco block in it. And I've never had any problems. Yeah i had to replace the driver side turbo...later. Typical.
My pony sounds Great. ZERO TUNE.
Just intake and exhaust...as she was when I snagged it.
Shes been in magazines and on the Addicted Desert Design Webpage.
I'm lucky to have her.
SHE'S MY WORK TRUCK. IVE GOT MY BED LOADED WITH DEMO ATM.
I BROKE HER IN RIGHT. IT WAS AWESOME WHEN SHE FINALLY WENT THROUGH PUBERTY. Now She Grumbles. AND IVE NEVER TURNED HER UP.
My odometer is about to hit 150. I got like 22k on the block. Maybe 7k on the new turbo. Figure I'd replace the passenger sise turbo soon...due to mileage. THEN MAYBE TURN HER UP.
BUT DUDE. YOUR VIDEOS FREAK ME OUT. WHY TURN IT UP? ITS MY WORK TRUCK. SHES NASTY.
MY BUMPERS ARE WORTH MORE THAN SOME PPLS CARS. ADD DOESN'T EVEN MAKE THEM ANYMORE. Honeybadgers. LAST OF THE MOHICANS.

All I'm getting at...IS...if I had bread like you...I HOPEFULLY WOULDN'T BE HAVING THE PROBLEMS YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO BE HAVING.
DONT HATE ON ECOBOOST!
I SUPPOSEDLY OWN ONE OF THE WORST GEN ECO F150s. 2013. BUT FORD HOOKED ME UP WITH THE UPDATED Long Block Assembly.
6in Procomp lift. 35s on 18s. THATS HOW SHE CAME.
**Anyone whos read this far. THE NITTO RECON GRAPPLERS. ARE LEGIT. They completely changed the ride of my work truck. Research it.
I had to buy them through discount tire and then take them to my Best Friend whos a mechanic for Firestone. Firestone couldn't even order them when I got them. Because they were sooo new last year.
Mr. Q. I never want all the truck problems you seem to have. I aint got money like that. My Pony is a work horse.
BUT I PROMISE YOU. I GET MORE LOOKS THAN MOST RAPTORS.

You got the Clout.
Help Us Out!!!✌🏾❤💪🏾💯🔥
Hey, that would be a good idea bro to hit up any level lift for 150s Thanks bro I appreciate you sharing the information.
Bro! I was ****** shocked when I seen you replied to my debauchery. Hats off dude.
I don't be getting involved with internet socializing. Never had any type of page.
I just bees up looking at vidoes...trying to gain knowledge. And like I said. Your battles be tripping me out. I AINT TRYING TO TURN MY SHIT UP ANF FUCK IT UP.
Yo! My exhaust straight grumbles. Came with the truck. I hope they be giving you them parts for free. HELL YOU DESERVE IT...WITH ALL YOU SUBSCRIBERS.
Like I told you. Im coming up on 150 on the dash. That passenger turbo gonna be needing replaced soon. I get that thing for 720. STRAIGHT FROM FORD. When my boy puts in my new ac compressor (been sitting around in the garage since last year...lol) She still blows cold. Compressor just leaking. FORD thinks cause I was able to bust my pockets for a new motor...that I got bread like that. Hell nah!
Had my boy not had The Vid...I never would have let them hold my shit for 3wks for the driver turbo. I was pisssed. Dropped it...when on vaca and everything. Came back. Still aint ready. THATS MY WORK TRUCK.
Anyways. That Borla system aint really available anymore. My shits getting old. 2013. BUT MY NEW BLOCK...IS LEGIT. THATS WHY MY LATE BIG SISTER ...GRUMBLES.
Man! I might just swap both turbos out. For the Ford Performance Turbos. I'll get them for a nice price.
What do you think Bro!!!!
** I'm going on a limb and reaching out to you. Your out here blowing your stuff up. FREAKING ME OUT ABOUT TURNING UP.
Did you regear your rear end before you went 37. -I think I heard you didnt. Idk. I'm chilling this time of night.
Brother I can't play around with my shit like you. ITS MY WORK TRUCK.
Nah I’m not regeared. Definitely would’ve help though.
@@KickinItWithQ Bro! My Best Friend Is A Master Mechanic. Like I'm sure I prolly already told you. He's in the Top 10% in the country. With the badges on his sleeve.

He just rebuilt the motor. Its Gorgeous. He'll be pushing almost 800hp. ALL WHEEL DRIVE.
He should be able to still do donuts. On a slick surface. Ima pressure him to try.
My rear end is electronic. Its a nice specimen. I stole her. Gotta fucking drop the headliner soon.. WHEN WE ACTUALLY HAVE TIME...and fix the horrible gen sunroof that was in all Ford vehicles back in 2013.
Supposedly I need like $70 in parts.
I got a Bomb Sunroof guy now. My wife's GANGSTER MKX RESERVE TWIN TURBO...Its fucking quick. Legit! She scoots.

I enjoy having that MEAT on the road. Idc about nothing. Running 35s on 18s. Lol. (When i was a kid. I lucked up and bought a used set of Lexani Synergy 17s. I had to put them on layaway.) A fucking week after I payed them off. THEY WERE FLY. I WAS KILLING IT.
I HIT A PIECE OF REBAR GOING THROUGH A WORKZONE ON THE HIGHWAY. I should have just ran over it. But i was worried about my new low pros. I veered and the lip of my rim ...hit the metal. Felt like my whole front end busted off. I got off on the next exit. Seen the damage on my new shit. And about cried. I couldn't even eat breakfast. I worked my ass of for those rims.
I ain't ever gonna deal with that shit no more.
Anyways I have to regear! You haven't!?!?!
Thats Crazy. It'll tear up your transmission.
Brother! I ain't ever slaving myself or my whip.
When its time to scoot. My shits gotta move.✌🏾❤
I’ve been through three turbos and a long block at 70k. Yes, the turbos failed and it took out the engine. Luckily it was covered under warranty. Love the truck, keep the videos coming
Dang thank goodness for that warranty bro! I appreciate you watching
Bought my 2016 3.5 at 60k miles. Didn’t have to touch the motor (outside of normal, regular maintenance) until 110k when I replaced the plugs, boots and throttle body. I’m sure more things will come up now that I’m above 100k miles but I honestly can’t complain at all yet.
I’m also on a 2.5” level and running 35s
Nice! Thanks for sharing that info bro
I have a 2017 f150 6 inch lift 5.0 35-12.50-20 tires rims stock tune love it no issues at all love it lots of power
Nice!
15 3.5 bought in 2018 with 38kmi now have 178k @165 had to have the turbo coolant plugs (or whatever they’re called) replaced for $2200. Throttle body just put me on the side of the road this past weekend 800mi from home in the mountains of NC . Thank goodness I was able to fix that myself.
Glad you are not experiencing any issues with your bro. I’m surprised you couldn’t keep going with the throttlebody. It must was clogged pretty bad.
@@KickinItWithQ it’s a whole long ass story lol. Includes me walking to a part store leaving that one having to walk to another which caused me to give it another try and it did start up and roll. But being so far from home I decided not to take any chances.
I’m not a Ford guy, but that’s a beautiful color and a really nice looking truck.
I appreciate that man!
Awesome trucks....BEST on the road! I've had 2 different ones & zero problems!
Nice man. As they say here, Ford is the best in Texas. Lol.
You may want to consider replacing your boost control module. I have a 2018 raptor with numerous mods and a tune, and mine would go into limp mode once it reached between 5000 and 6000 RPMs. I replaced the BCM, for $50 from Ford, and the truck was back to normal after that.
Also, check the Hose clamps on your boost tubes. One of them may be just loose enough to start leaking air when you hit 18 to 20 psi.
Thanks for the info man!
Good info, that’s why I just bought the 6.2
I have had Expeditions since 2001….5.0 V8…..rock solid, zero issues…beast……then in 2016 on a business trip I got a new Expedition as a rental. OMG, it flew! I remember accelerating onto the highway and I was absolutely stunned! Yup….3.5 ecoboost…….I bought a brand new 2017 and now it has 85k on it. Guy at work has 2017 too, but has 185k on it…no repairs………for me, I changed the plugs at 75k and they were clean! I chose to replace all the coil packs as well…preventative………Im still full stock, but going to add a tune and change cold air intake and exhaust now….so really appreciate your videos. I toyed with getting a new GMC Yukon with the 6.2L v8……but the gas mileage is really bad. GM also has issues with trans around 80k and some engine issues as well. So decided to keep mine for another 100k……I love the look (same color as yours), aand the drive…..cant wait to see how quick it will be with the add ons…..oh, and I run with a 3.73 rear end….so it already flies off the line…..keep making those videos…and love that Ford!
Nice man! Glad you loving the Ride
Bought a 2015 EB in 2019 with 217k and never had any issues , pulled and towed like a beast, the fuel pump went out about 248k , replaced it and it never performed the same traded it in with 257k.
My stock 3.5 EB did the same thing several times , but not sure why but it didn’t go in limp mode the CEL flashed for a few and then went off and back to normal
Man, that’s crazy bro. Hopefully my bad luck is behind me and we can move forward with no more issues lol because I love my truck and I definitely don’t wanna get rid of it.
If you are concerned about heat and yes i know about the heat in texas an aftermarket intercooler will help alot. Cooler AIT equals more power.
Yes, I definitely think I’m going to do a intercooler next
I’m a grandpa 61, great channel, I got my 2nd tiny lil 2.7 Ecoboost, driven easy I get around 21 around rurral Southern West Virginia and stock it’s got plenty of get up and go for an old man, I drove a 5.0 and it just seemed to scream all the time, the 2.7 rarely climbs above 2500 rpm the way I drive and I like that, pull a 5,000 pound camper 5 or 6 times a year and it does fine.
I hear the 2.7 actually is the most reliable out of the eco-boost engine
@@KickinItWithQ from your lips to God’s ears, I see young guys tune them, bigger Turbo’s and end up breaking them, but it’s amazing what they can get out of 154 cubic inches. I had a 72 Mustang 302 that made a whopping 135 horsepower, I thought it was quick back then, it was a horrible car, this tiny 2.7 would eat its lunch not even trying. There was a guy that put a blower on his F150 coyote and had tons of of drivability problems on RUclips, I’m not sure a 6,000 pound truck should run with a Hellcat and I trust the engineers at Ford a lil more than some tuner with a laptop, he might not be thinking can the components survive this. Sorry to run on, but you have an awesome heart that comes through the channel and I’m sure you’re a Blessing to those who know you,
@@poppyneese1811 I appreciate you sharing that story and for the words 🤝🏾
I always told you to never sell your truck. Such a nice looking truck. BUT if you’re considering getting a 5.0 by all means, go for it haha.
I have a first gen coyote, 2014 F150 5.0 with 185,000 miles. Bought it used 2 years ago with 150,000 miles and only issues I had has been a coolant leak from a broken hose. Easy fix though. Bought an OEM hose for $100 and fixed it myself (easy repair that took 10 minutes)
It is on a 6inch lift on 35s and yes it’s sluggish but engine is stock. A tune might help (been considering it)
Nonetheless I love your truck though bro! And your content just keeps getting better and better 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks bro I appreciate it. She definitely is my gal and we’ve been through a lot which makes it hard to separate but if the day ever comes, I definitely probably will go 5.0
i bought a 2018 tundra limited last friday 5.7 with the same 6 inch lift like your with some 35s i think. it rides smooth. im not a fast driver i take my time amd cruise . i looked up the rc shocks and your videos came up. thanks for all the info
Glad you’re enjoying the videos, man and congrats on your new truck!
Had a 2020 F150 XLT Sport 4x4 Crewmax 5.0 coyote. Burned 2 1/2 to 3 quarts of oil per 5000 miles. There was an issue with not having the cast iron cylinder liners in the engine. This caused excessive oil consumption. Did not happen on all of them. The main issue was 2018 to 2020. I never would have bought the 5.0 had I known of the issue before hand. I finally traded it for a 2023 with the 3.5 ecoboost. What a difference. The ecoboost blows away the 5.0 when it comes to performance in stock form! There is no comparison. I have only had the new truck for a few months but I can tell a huge difference in daily driving. It doesn't hunt for gears the way the 5.0 did on hills. I think the issues of the 5.0 are not as bad now but I have seen a few people comment that they have newer trucks than 2020 and still have oil consumption. I was just afraid to try it. I think before you buy one with a 5.0 you should drive one that is set up the way that you like. Would hate to see you get a 5.0 and make all the mods and then be dissatisfied with it. Good luck! You do a great job! I love your honesty and passion!
Thanks for sharing that your experience man! I tell people the performance of Ecoboost are hard to beat. Which is why I love it
The later ones for better. 3.5 is really good. I want the 2.7. (2018-up) because it has enough power & surprisingly fuel efficient. It's true that the V8 doesn't have more parts, so chances in reliability are much better other than oil consumption. Nice truck btw.
Thanks man! And you made some great points
I have the 2.7 in my 22 bronco 2 door. I watched a pretty lengthy video on the redesign of the 2.7 and I think they did something to address the cam phaser issues and also something with the cylinder heads and oil issues. So far in the 5k miles I've put on mine its been trouble free. Zippy little unit for sure especially in sport mode lol.
@@bryan70546 I have test drove the Bronco. It had a 2.3. I still liked it better than the Wrangler. I'm actually also thinking of getting a Ranger. I was actually happy that the new Ranger will get that 2.7. Old Ranger will do fine. Just need catch cans for it.
I've had the 2.7 in my 19 f150 and now my 2023 f150. Love this little engine. Added a s&b intake and mbrp exhaust, sounds pretty sweet :)
Love your videos Q! I’m an OG follower and I still look forward to your videos!
Yo! I appreciate your continued support man 🤝🏾💯
Hey Q, had a similar issue on my tuned 2.7. The remedy was raptor plugs. They’re a little cooler running. Worked for me but I can’t make any promises man. Hope it all works out
Thanks for the recommendation bro I’m definitely going to look into my spark, plug interval
No problem man, love your content.
I’ve got a 2019 2.7 ecoboost with 71k kms. Has been nothing but a dream so far
Yes I hear the 2.7 is the more reliable motor of the ecoboost
I had that happen with a 2017 stock EcoBoost rental truck.
I have a 2013 and mine did the same thing when I first put a mpt tune with the sct x4. All my problem was I needed new spark plugs. Should change your plugs every 30-40k miles when tuned. Hope this helps
Thanks bro! Definitely at the mileage for me plugs!
Just personal choice. I have had a few Turbos on my daily and honestly it just is not for me. Lots of maintenance. I drive a 5.7 V8 Gl 550 and love it. More than enough power and all natural. I have a weekend car for some fun with two Turbos, and this balance works for me. Each to there own
What I have noticed with a lot of people who own them is. Short bed. No off-road package. No tow package. Mine. 2020. As a 6 foot bed. Tow package. Off-road package. Stock. I walk away from everything so far. Meaning. When a vehicle around me is a problem. See ya. Those that travel my street by my house. If I put that much peddle into mine. In major traffic in a city. I have to put mine in ECO mode so I don't hit the vehicle in front of me. The truck is that froggy. Thanks for the information.
I tried the cold air intake on my Chevy 2020 Trailboss Silverado 5.3 V8 and I went back to stock. Didn’t run correctly? I also installed a LT Pulsar on my truck; throttle sensitivity, removed the stop engine at stops, all 8 cylinders run, my speed can now go up to 120. Nice Ford! Love my Chevy!
Nice! Thanks for sharing that
Yeah, these days both the 5.0L and the 3.5L are about equally as reliable with the difference being maintenance costs are higher on the 3.5L and if something does go wrong with the 3.5L, well, as you experienced, the repair costs are higher. The 3.5L is easy to tune and little changes make a big difference but it's hard to keep up with all the little details that keep a high strung engine running at it's peak.
Very well said man! I agree with this 100%
I have a 2016 2.7 Ecoboost bone stock here in Arizona. It gets over 120 degrees F in the summer and I have no sluggish issues. We bought it with 12,000 miles in 2017 and it has over 65,000 miles now. The only issue we had was a mouse or rat eating some wires under it. It's the best truck I've ever owned. We just change the oil and other regular maintenance. Nothing special. Thanks for the video.
Bro I need the setting you got set on this GoPro. Video looking flawless
Thanks bro I have the GoPro hero 11 black. Not sure which one you have the newer ones tend to look better quality wise. I also shoot in 4K.
I have a 2020 2.7 on Stage2 with E85 and 93 oct change oil every 5k with Amsoil using Ford filters. 421WHP and 525 torque. 44k miles no issues never misses a beat! These trucks are amazing if tuned properly and much more reliable then stock, however you have to be careful of what tuners you use. Some of these CAN tunes and companies will promise noticeable power gains. But if your not skilled in reviewing your data logs your self Before and After tunes. You can be doing serious damage to your truck. Despite it feeling super powerful.
Very true my guy! Great info!
Totally agree! I have one f150 ecoboost and I could not explain better the PROS and CONs of it, so I would't buy it again either.
Great engines just very expensive to maintain
I hope it works out for you. I have a 2.7 EB f150. 102k miles and the only issue ive had is a slight rough idle when i refuel
Thanks man I’m glad to hear yours is treating you well
Probably time for spark plugs.
Might be time to change that purge valve
Had a 2016 ecoboost with ssi tune with spd downpipes. And it would to the same thing changed my spark plugs. And fixed the problem. I use to buy mine from spd. They got the gt performance ones. And my had to be gapped to 26. Ram like a champ till I got my 2022 tremor 6.7.
Congrats on new truck! Yeah, I think it’s the spark plugs as well. They got about 30 K on them now
what is SPD?
I was having problems with the coil packs. I eventually replaced all 6 coil packs and plugs. The problems cleared up.
Yea that usually fixes it and best to do all at once
I have the 5.0 v8 and pretty much the same setup as yours ...im tuned by 5star tuning and even on my 87 octane tune it rips....no problem at all getting up to speed ...I'd race any ecoboost.
Nice!
I have the same truck . Mine had 50,000 miles and the transmission lines busted . Ford fixed it but we were on our way to Florida when it happened !
Dang bro hate that happened. Especially on a trip. Glad they got your back up and running. Hopefully you haven’t had any more issues.
I just purchased a 2023 F-150 XLT Rocky Ridge 5.0L Coyote with all the bells and whistles so I wouldn’t have to go do everything separately myself AND everything is backed by Ford/Rocky Ridge with warranties. That’s the beauty of me purchasing one because I won’t lose any of my warranties due to upgrading my truck with lift kits and etc. And I have the Gen. 4 5.0L Coyote where Ford supposedly fixed the “Cam Phaser” and “Oil consumption” issues. I hope so because time will tell. 🤞🏾
Q dont worry about the small noises (planes/cars/etc) just let it ride. Didnt mess up the sound or bother me at all. its just how it is irl :)
That is true..sometimes it throws me off though lol.
Hey buddy every engine has problems nowadays it’s like pick your piston… I would really really recommend a bigger intercooler cause the stock ones get hot super fast… stick with regular maintenance and with your turbos the stock tune should get everything back in order then go back to mpt tune
I appreciate the info man
The popping could be your fuel injectors. I had to replace mine already
Did you do it yourself? How much does that cost?
The truck didnt make the popping sound again? I never had mine tuned and its doing the same popping at high rpm and i dont know what it could be?
It hasn’t made it since it took it back to stock. I’ll see what happens when I add the tune back
I have a 2012 FX4 ecoboost 3.5 first gen. Fantastic truck. 165K and only major repair was the water pump at 140k.
Nice!
There he is!!!!! I hear ya big dawg. Sorry you went through that. But glad you went hands on! So I have a V8. I have seen a lot of videos where Ford mechanics were interviewed and asked if they had to choose between EcoB or V8…. the vast majority said V8. Especially when it comes to maintenance and upkeep. For me because I’m not terribly interested in going really really fast and having extra torque etc. I drive it pretty normal with the occasional burst of speed etc. I prefer reliability over the benefits offered by EcoB. Which I understand. But it’s just not worth it to me to go through the cost and headache. The main problem with Red is there is not enough chrome ! Lol. Joking. Q is just a little anti chrome. Lol. Have a good one bro. 👍🏾🏆😂
Yep v8 just simpler bro so I agree with them. 😂 imma leave the chrome to the young kids or for a new truck
@@KickinItWithQ 😂
I have read that these trucks with higher miles, eventually the cam phasers go that creates a similar sounds of rod knock and will mess with the timing and may also cause the back fire miss fire. Tunes also do that
They both have there up's and downs. Just got my 18 5.0 10speed back from dealership today. 45k miles and transmission had went out.
Dang!! Already!? I hear those 10spds tend to have these issues
@@KickinItWithQ Yeah man! It blows and makes me think about selling or keeping it.
Always a tough decision. Hopefully with the repair it’s fixed properly and the issue is behind you.
Same thing with me, I traded it in for the 21 rocky ridge package and I’m on 24x 14 arkon lincolns
Thats a nice truck, but i would definitely look into different gear packages. just based off personal experience, ive seen a handfull of 1500's take a shit when pushing 35's and up on stock gear setup. the engine will push it but the drive train will fail when put on constant load.
Definitely thinking about regraring
Hey Q can you tell me more about the coolant hose leak? And what symptoms was your truck having in trying to see if that’s what my problem is with mine
It was just leaking coolant man. The truck ran fine but I’d constantly have to add coolant and I could smell the coolant burning
My 2015 5.0 has almost 200k has been flawless ! I absolutely love the truck but towing a pontoon is not ideal …. Both my sons have ecoboost they have been outstanding no problems at all . Towed the toon with the ecoboost omg such a difference . I will be purchasing a ecoboost next time we keep our trucks completely stock .
Thanks for sharing that experience and feedback man
I have a king Ranch powerstroke samelift and tire size (ruby red) I think I would go with a V8 gas and some type of forced induction next
I got a 14 F150 FX2 sport the 5.0 L . I love tha truck .. very reliable motor. And it doesn’t leak oil or anything . I would definitely buy another one with more HP. Lol
It's just time to step over to the Duramax side bro! Keep'em coming
The Denali’s are definitely going on me. Thanks for watching bro.
I'm new to your channel and really like your vids. My 3.5 isn't heating, which I don't mind much right now as we getting into this Texas summer. Anyway, can you tell what your issue was with you heat and how you got it fixed? Thanks
The dealer fixed it, was the actuator and something else lol
I have the 3.5 ecoboost with a 133345 miles haven't had any problems yet out of the turbos
See I have tons of guys like you say the same thing so hopefully my problems are behind me now and we’re good to go
I had the same issue it was my coil packs and it fixed the issue
thanks for sharing boss!
