  1. On the freeway its the Texas speed limit, go with the flow or get out the way.
  2. I drive on the hard side and don't speed, don't need to in Texas speed limits are high. Im most often first to leave the light, my lifetime average on E85 and some 93 is 16 MPH. Most would be in town.
  3. Thats an off road vehicle Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Im not a cheer leader for any truck or car co., but now when we come to expect 200k plus miles out of these trucks and performance cars we have to expect some safe guards. I can remember the days we would hope to get 60k out of a ford C6 or a Chevy turbo 400 if we were pulling a camper or what ever. Performance engines 60k, were toast. So today we are getting the power we want all we have to do is do a tune or not, Ill take it.
  5. Its shifts right at red line too, sometimes on the 1-2 shift it bounces the red limiter, pretty cool. I don't go into m6 till after 60, no change in gas millage.
  6. Yes, electric cut off. It doesn't take long to undo three wing nuts. Caution where gloves when hot.
  7. Go to a muffler shop have a y pipe put in front of the muffler run a dual pipe with two exits. Weld header flanges on the tips with wing nuts, wild and mild. You could even run the wild side in front of the rear tire. You don't really have to flange the quiet side, you open the loud side it will just flow that way. Ive done it, its a blast.
  8. I agree, I think Ford makes the best 3/4 ton and up trucks on the road, but I like the GM 1/2 tons the best. Good luck with yours.
  9. After the 4.6 and the 5.4 spark plug problem and the head gasket problem and the back window pop out problem I pass when ford does a new engine or model. I was lucky enough to miss the 6.0 diesel. I now visit the forums before I buy. Hell there was even a vid on this site on a EB trying to accelerate. Like I stated I own some Ford diesels and like them. By the way that not a Ford in your Sig. Check out the thread on this site about would you buy a GM truck again, the yes are way ahead.
  10. All brands seem to be having recalls, people are getting use to it.
  11. Pal? Im stating what I read, heard and witness, Im not downing the brand I own a 13 F550 6.7 for a service truck. Anything over 1/2 ton Im a Ford guy, under Im GM. So as far as the early EB falling on its face its been documented.
  12. Not according to the keep or trade back thread.
  13. I was making reference to the early problems they were having with the EB with power loss. In my field I have lots of costumers who rack up the miles in there trucks, when something new comes along they buy it. Some of them went back to V8 ford or GM, Im not hearing the problems now with their trucks like Im reading here, these are people with higher average miles who pretty much work their trucks off road.
  14. Yea until he goes to pass on a two lane and says uh oh no boost. Ill put up with a little V4 shake knowing the power will be there when needed. I also found a little less tire pressure goes a long way.
  15. Not really, one 3or31/2 inch is enough, so the other pipe is for the pleasure of the owner. Enough flow has already been reach. When I need more flow I just run them down one side.
  16. Duals been around since the flat heads, ever look at the back of your Vette? I bet there are 4 sticking out back on that. Twice pipes are more common now than ever, which is fine by me.
  17. Its been a few years since I messed with a can tune but I had a problem once where you could raise the shift point higher than you could raise the rev limiter, that would make a pop till I lowered the shift point a little.
  18. I bought it with the truck, it is a hard tri fold with a soft cover over it. No leaks, what I like about it was it says GMC in the corner and warranty.
  19. I ended up buy mine at the dealer, couldn't beat the price or the warranty and it says GMC on it.
  20. I was wondering how many people change the stance of their truck, I was getting ready to drop the back and didn't after reading the vibration post. My truck has no vibrations. It didn't come with Good Year tires. I did a muffler delete and notice a little vibration at low speeds in V4, I just keep it out of V4 till after 60 MPH and fix that.
  21. It wasn't just the government that caused Detroit to empty, there was a lot of greed to go around.
  22. My Barber drives a new truck, and is putting his kid thru collage. He charges 16 dollars for a reg. haircut I give him 20. Ive seen him do 3 an hour, while yapping like crazy, not such a bad profession.
  23. Back in the day buying old stuff was a no brainer, they were easy to work on. I took the heads off a car when I was seventeen, good old small block. Takes a lot more know how these days.
  24. Ive had both the problem I had with roll lock, when its hot sometimes you have to pull back on it to get it to unlock and you burn the hell out of you fingers. The flip one you open the tailgate to unlock no burnt fingers.
  25. Ok Steve, you may have been down this road before. Try Donaldson on the web, they have all kinds of tubing and rubber elbows for remote filter installation. I haven't had the time to do the research, figured it would be up your alley.
