Picked up this thing fully loaded for 35000 American and brought it back to Canada. Beautiful truck.

Never been a huge fan of Fords, not feeling the color scheme with the rims. Your truck looks a million times better. Funny loaded Mark LT's go for around that and look better, just my opinion.

This truck was 30, but my friend had to pay GST and PST at the border, so it ended up being close to 35.

That is a very nice truck :cheers:

 

Not a fan of white though and tell him to remove those tacky "Limited" letters off the side of the bed. :D

 

I also do not care for the interior.

 

But yeah, that truck would definitely be my 2nd choice.

Dude, tell him to take it back. The windshield wipers are obviously broken!!!

 

Not a fan of white, or fords, so white fords are a big no no to me. But, I would drive it as a get away vehicle, so long as I could ditch it later!

I'd take a horse and carraige before I would ever consider a Furd again...

Looks schmooks. what's important about a truck is:

 

How does it do in a collision with a house? Silverados are kicking the rest of the manufacturers butts in that department!

 

least...that's what i hear :cheers:

I have a buddy with a red F150 Crew and I have to admit that it is a nice truck. His has the 5.4 and the power doesn't compare to our V8s... at least not in his. Off the line it is pretty slow and it rides rougher than my Sierra. It is a good looking truck... for a Ford. He's getting about 16 mpg so that is about the same. The only issues I know of are 2 sets of rear brakes and leaking rear axle seals (related I'm sure) that he has had to have replaced.

 

It's still a FORD. :cheers:

I saw one of these in person the other day. It's a damn nice looking truck and the wheels really do look nice. The stupid ass lettering has to go though.

Definitely not digging the lettering on the side of the bed. I think the wheels might look better if they had more meat on those tires. By the way : Since they plastered "LIMITED" so big on the side... Just what the heck does that get you? (Other than a Ford, I mean.)

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years
