    Finally let her off the leash!

    I was thinking the same thing. Getting scratches and dents in a 2017 is a bummer.

    Air only from defroster

    I had the same problem with the air. A vacuum line had come off. I put it back on and we were back to normal.

    98 EB 4X4 upgrades?

    I agree with Explorer Tom. Change all the fluids. Also check the radiator core support. They are known to rust and the fan will hit the radiator. PIA to change. Anyone have another way to repair these without pulling the whole front end off?

    What if the key fob dies?

    Unless it something really simple to assemble, I will follow the directions. It saves a lot of time and bitching in long run.

    Faded Trim Panels

    That makes more sense. I didn't think painting the boards was a good idea.

    Faded Trim Panels

    They look great. Keep us posted on how long it lasts. I would think the running boards would show wear sooner because of getting in and out.

    Love that EcoBoost... But...

    I know there are a lot of people who like the Eco - boost engines and they may be right. But i just came across a video from Town & County TV on Youtube that surveyed their Ford technicians on what engine they would chose in a 2017 F150. I think there are 4 engines available. The results were...

    Might be the end of the road...damn

    How did you support the radiator core with wood and straps? Mine is rusting and not totally loose I may have too do something in the future.

    Love that EcoBoost... But...

    I wonder if the 3.5 Eco is going to hold up as well as the 5.4. There are less cubic inches producing more power and torque. I would think it also causes more wear and tear. Any other opinions?

    V8 idle fuel efficiency??

    I don't know the gas usage at idle for the air but I the radio being on or off would make little to no difference.

    Mechanical Load-leveling rear suspension

    That's a sharp looking boat. Who is the manufacturer? I have a 21' Ebbtide Cuddy, which I believe is about the same size as yours. I tow it with an 03 Expy EB 5.4. No sag in the rear and no sway at all. I recently bought a used 13 Navigator but haven't towed with it yet. I was going to sell...

    cold tire pressures? for comfort? for mpg? for tire life?

    Inflating the tires to max. can help but I believe that most boat trailer sway is caused by not enough tongue weight. You should have near 10% of the towed weight on the tongue.

    2006 mpg

    The mileage should change between city and highway driving. The indicator may not be working right. I get as low as 10 in the city and as high as 17 on the highway on a 03 EB 5.4. Fill the tank and record the mileage. Then take a highway trip refill and check again. It should be better than 13.

    You got a great deal on that exspy. Post some before and after pictures if you can. How many miles on her?

    What did you do to the expy today

    The truck looks really good. But I had no idea that a paint job would cost $3000.

    How do I remove paint from rims?

    I know the feeling. I live in CT and Long Island Sound can get pretty rough. I mostly keep to the lakes and the CT river now. Maybe you can help me with the forum. I never got an alert that you replied. I found it by going back to the origional post. This has happened before. Am I going...
