Ultra what happened???
Do Choko and I need to come to the ford dealer to make a YouTube hit about fords new race truck?
So I had most bolt on stuff and a tune, truck ran very well. Trans let go at 48K miles purchased a BRAND NEW TRANS from Ford and put the truck back to stock. They new trans ended up having a bad bearing in it, less then 50 miles on the trans 3rd gear blew through the side of the case hitting the turbo. A mixture of hot tranny fluid, oil and coolant + sparks started it on fire. Burnt the truck down in November. Ford tried giving me shit about it being modded even though it was stock and they re-issued a 3 year unlimited mileage warrantee when I spent $6K+ on a trans for a 2012 F150 that stickered a hair under $50K. They JUST ended up settling for like $37K credit on another Ford. Ended up with another F150 this time with the 5.0 (Had to be from dealer stock, otherwise I would have ordered an FX2 with the 6.2L.)
If you buy a Ford and want it to be fast with their auto6 pull the trans out and send it off to circle D or someone to do the oil and cooling mods and put in a decent stall with billet shafts. The suck stock, I had nothing but issues with the trans.
The Ecoboost engines are OK, but they still haven’t really figured out the condensation issues with them. Google ecoboost condensation or studder, they pretty much gather water in the intercooler then suck it up when you need power and she falls on her face. Happened a TON to me before I put in the big intercooler and modded her up.
I wouldn’t buy one but that’s just me… and its not because mine failed they just don’t have them dialed in yet.
If you want a fast truck get a 5.3L chevy, toss in a cam or turbo it. Make great power, be able to tune it and last forever.
Woah, pics?
Ewh don’t really want to get into too much. Things just settled down really, I have videos and pictures which really help my case. I’ll post a new tread of my truck so we don’t get too OT in the sales sections.
Tremor is a cool truck. GLWTS
I have this same tuner on my Raptor. From the factory the truck is a fucking pig when you get on her. I have a few tunes I can pick from but I prefer the 91 octane performance tune and I’m running 91 non ethanol, The truck moves and shifts through the gears like it should have from the factory. I’m not breaking any land speed records but she moves a hell of a lot quicker and I get better gas mileage. So far I’m very impressed with the truck and what it can do off road.
