just called. they agree that they should have shipped out on the 14th. it is possible that they are in transit and they just never got the tracking info. they said they will contact the wharehouse asap for a direct update. i should get an email in one or two days on whats going on and if not i should call back on the third day.


honestly this whole thing is kinda shiatty. my truck should be lifted with wheels and tires by now. maybe if i ordered the cool kid 20x10 bro wheels id get them faster...... but no i want 17s, i want real truck wheels, not that sparkle sparkle bullshiat.

well i called ans had to cancel cuz no one ufcking new when they would be back in stock so i ordered a set of procomps..... also backordered. i call again, they see they have a set in a warehouse and should ship out soon. this time they actually took the money from me for this order but its been in "shipping soon" status for a week now. actually i think im gonna call right now and ask wtf ship my ufcking wheels please. and yeah i got an eco. just did plugs since im just passed 70k. thats when they go out. runs much better now. would i get another eco? maybe not.


i wondered, since you haul for a living. Everyone acts like its the best thing ever. i dont want a turbo smaller motor, i want a big v8. i get the reasoning, but look at honda. killed the v6 for a turbo 4, nothing but issues.

Just gimme a big motor and a towing package and leave me alone.

I did my plugs at 100k then at 200k.

with the 3.73 gears i have my eco yanks hand hauls all ~8k of gear and trailered X like nothing. ive never had an issue with not being up to the posted speed by the time i merge onto a highway no matter how long the ramp is. the time i towed the X to Went, she handled the grades like a champ. like just putting her in tow mode and setting the cruise, the truck does all the work with 6 gears. down shifting for climbs and down grades for the added "engine brake" affect. i just have to steer. the one down side to these engines is that they are kind of a gen 2 6.0 little brother in the sense that they with go forever only if you address the short comings and dont let oil changes and plug changes slide. i change my oil at 5k which is saving my timing chain and cam phasers. i big problem with ecos whos owners make out their oil changes to the 10k ford says you can go get timing chain rattles on start up from dead cold cranks. now should this happen to me and i need a new chain and phasers im covered by two warranties. one is the engine for life i get from the dealer i bought the trucks from so long as i change the oil there. the other is the 3rd party warranty i got with the truck that already paid for itself with replacing my rear posi and new leaf packs. another thing i had to do is the intercooler drain hole mod which is literally drilling a small hole into a certain spot in the intercooler so that oily condensation can drain out on cold starts. (very little actually comes out but it saves you in the long run). honestly would i get another eco? if i went and got a new f150 id spec it out the same with gears, wheelbase and payload but i would opt for the v8.

Interesting and well thought out. I have never missed an oil change with mine. 7qts mobil one full synthetic and a motor craft filter. Every 5000 without fail. I think its why i have lasted as long as i have, honestly.

that two warranty thing sounds amazing. id have my oil changed at a dealer to get that deal.

id love to be able to afford a diesel, but its just not feasible for me. if I stumble on a blue f150 with the sport front (color matched) ill probably go that route if (like you said) its spec'd out right.

the eco takes 6 qts lol.

see if i even bought new whether it be a f150 or titan XD, the salesmen would hate because i know what i want. mid level trim with tow package, pulling gears, towing mirrors and trailer brake controller. everything else is fluff. hell thats why i bought an XLT. i see a lot of FX4s and platinums rolling around i really think people bought those packages because the sales guy jerked them into it cuz they didnt know how to build a truck.

Ive never bought a brand new truck. I bought mine with 20k, but was lucky to get it outfitted like i like. Wonder if maybe i should buy a new new f150 this time.


(new titans are so so ugly)

Yeah. I was talking to some of the guys who come out here all the time and they said that the housing market has exploded here in the last few years. It's nuts because there is this little town, but that's it. There's no real industry or anything here. Just tourism
