  1. Just want to confirm, new Upper UCA are not needed when going 5100’s?
  2. Great info. Are new UCA’s needed?
  3. Let us know how it performs after switching to Amsoil.
  4. Thanks. Will leave it be.
  5. Does the airaid MIT add any drone? If I go CAI, I want to stay with a dry filter. What CAI kits are recommended?
  6. With AFM & VVT I will not over extend my OCI either.
  7. Thanks. No park assist needed, I knew exactly where I was.
  8. My new to me Silvy - Silver Ice Metallic.
  9. Great info! I just bought a 2017 Silvy, will stick to those intervals at the maximum.
  10. I agree, these bicycle tires have no business on trucks.
  11. The V8 engines also suffer from horrible mpg when towing the max, so no difference. The difference is the GTDI 2.7 will get superior empty mpg. Thats what most light duty trucks do - drive around empty.
  12. The V8 engines also suffer from horrible mpg when towing the max, so no difference. The difference is the GTDI 2.7 will get superior empty mpg. Thats what most light duty trucks do - drive around empty. 66% of all F150 sales are Ecoboosts - says a lot for their engine program. The GTDI engines are here to stsy. I wish GM all the best, hopefully they have an I-6 GTDI to go along side with the I-4 in the 1500.
  13. The 2.7 EB will humiliate and small block and any LT. The 3.5 EB crushes the LT 6.2. The new GM GTDI 2.7 will sell like crazy, and should have an excellent tow rating. It will also outshine any V8, especially when it comes to passing a gas station.
  14. I think the new 2.7 will be a success like Ford’s Ecoboosts, particularly the 2.7 EB. Can’t wait to see the 3.0 Dmax numbers.
  15. Thankfully I have no plans on finding out about the afm system, I will be buying an ecoboost. No afm or oil guzzling to worry about, and dual injection takes care of carbon build up on intake vales that DI are known for.
  16. Gorgeous Truck! That is exactly what I planbon getting next time.
  17. Thankfully the 6.0 gas engine is still IDI and has no afm. Plus the HD trucks have some things I prefer over the 1500's. A few less mpg will not bother me. So aside from regular oil changes, which I do at a set mileage by ignoring the OLM, what else do you do on these DI afm engines?
  18. After seeing that 3.6 Camaro only .5 second slower than the Hellcat, I'd love to see a dual turbo version or twin scroll in the 1500.
  19. I like what Ford is doing with the ecoboosts to help offset the 5.0 and no afm whatsoever. Toyota is not using it either. GM could easily follow suit with the 3.6 TT. I will be watching the posts here, but am willing to sacrifice mpg to not have issues. I agree that the OLM is a bigger enemy to the engine. Does that CRC actually work?
  20. My point was for the miles I put on a truck I am not going to entertain the thought of oil use or having to get valves cleaned of carbon. A 2500 with a 6.0 solves the issue for me. My 04 5.3 never used a drop of oil, my current truck does not use any, not going to buy a truck with fuel saving gimmicks that may or may not work and cause issues over the long haul.
  21. How many miles do you keep a truck for? 200,000+ is how long I keep mine for. The achilles heel of DI os carbon build up on intake valves. The 6.0 is still IDI, a safer bet imho. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk
  22. Sheesh. Still enough evidence to disable or go HD gasser to avoid it.
