Gagliano7

I would like to see what that 2.7 will do in a regular cab.

That engine looks pretty good but there are a lot of electrical parts on the cooling side that will go wrong especially in the areas with a lot of snow and salt.

My friend just bought a f150 5.0 and ford has a set of multi port injectors to clean the valves on there DI engines.

I think the best thing to do is clean the valves once a year with the CRC spray or sea foam. I have seen videos where this works. I think the catch can is a waste of money but i know on here i am in the minority. Think about how many gm trucks and suv's with these motors don't have a catch can. Probably 99% of them on the road which is millions.

I beat you i put 2900 miles on in a year. Hoping to have truck for 20 years.

I worded it wrong i meant AFM cause the shudder. My 8 speed shifts perfect all the time with the range connected. With the range disconnected i get some shudder sometimes and i have only driven 25 miles with AFM active.

I think the shudder problem is caused by the AFM.

H How many miles on your truck?

I have the flowmaster catback for my 2018 6.2 dual out the back. There is no drone and the sound is great but not to loud. I tried replacing the muffler with a super 44 but the sound was better with the one that cam with the catback the 50 Series HD Muffler.

You can get the 3:73 gears on any model ford 150 for a whopping $150 price tag.

I have a carolina carport garage 20x18 and 9 foot walls snow rated roof plus 10x10 garage door. The garage was $5400 installed on my $2500 concrete slab. There is no way i could have done a wood building for near that price. If you install it yourself you save $500 but to me wasn't worth doing myself . They put it up in a little more than a 1/2 a day. The total height of the roof is just over 12 ft. I would have went bigger if i had the room. Just so you know my 2018 gmc double cab fits with 4 inches to spare with the 20 ft length. Measurements are the outside of the building. Here is side pic of garage. Not the greatest pic but the pic was of my truck. I need to take some of garage.

they are!!

That sucks but if you ask me this shouldn't be expected. A window leak should never happen on a new vehicle. Its not like this is the first trucks they ever built and they had this problem on the last models.

It is funny how people have different luck. The 3 worst vehicles i have ever owned was a 88 toyota pickup 22r engine that had a bunch of problems and went through radiators like oil. A 1998 honda civic that had air bag light come on at 37000 miles, the tranny go at 50000 miles plus in the cold the temp would go to cold changed thermostat and radiator still no heat in the cold when idling and the 02 sensor would throw a code all the time even when replaced twice. And these are probably according to most some of the most reliable cars on the road. I also had a 2013 subaru impreza at 32000 miles was turning into a pos with loud engine noise and a horrible ride so i traded in that piece. I also take care of all my vehicles. And these are probably according to most some of the most reliable cars on the road. Every chevy i have owned has been great plus my 2016 ford escape is my favorite everyday vehicle i have ever owned. My friend had a 2009 silverado with AFM with 200000 miles that he just traded in and is still on the road racking up miles. SO it can be hit or miss on all vehicles.

If you see a reg cab short bed on the lot it is usually gone pretty quick. Gm made sure there popularity went down by not making as many. Gm makes more money off the crew cab and double cabs compared to the regular cab. If they made more they would sell more.

I am no ford guy but my 16 escape awd 2.0 turbo is the best vehicle i have owned. Great power and handling and a nice ride. I did lease a 2018 gmc sierra double cab all terrain 6.2 and i like it so far but not more than my escape. I do wish i had the bigger gas tank just for longer times between fill ups. I also had a 2017 ford navigator 3.5 for a rental and it drove nice and had decent power but the dash was horrible and cheap. I would say my GMC rides nicer than the Navigator.

Always wanted to get one of those trucks. Getting harder to find these days.

Thanks i wasn't sure if they came that way since everyone i have ever seen had the bench style seats without the center console. I when i bought mine i was told the seats and console were out of a tahoe.I am also looking to doing that dakota dash new version.

Here is another pic.

I have a 1992 with a 5.3 LS swap. Is that center console stock or did you get that somewhere? Looking for a replacement for mine.
