    Locowolf, no, I don’t think you’re 20. I think you’re 13.

    Oil usage 2005 v8

    Are you using 0-20wt oil? If so it’ll improve by using original factory spec 5-30.

    5W-30 instead of 5W-20

    My original manual say 5-30wt. So that’s what I use. I ignore the CAFE update suggesting 0-20wt for fuel mileage. I used to use motorcraft synthetic until I learned ConocoPhillips makes oil and Ford rebrands it. I also learned the additive package in Motorcraft oil is less than Kendal 1...

    Keep or trade up?

    Do not buy any vehicle w ecoboost engine. You’ll pay through the nose on a whole host of issues including turbos. Think about it, a small v6 in a truck is under powered so they bolt on two tiny turbos and force air through it to compensate. Add to that the ridiculously complex variable valve...

    Catch Can!

    No engine is perfect. True. But I speak from personal experience w several EB’s and a 5.0 that suffers from cylinder distortion, sounds like a diesel when you first start it and if you stomp it. 3 buddies have 3.5 EB. All 3 have VVT issues. All 3 have cold start misfire. I drive from...

    Heavy towing/load handling rear suspension

    I called strutmasters to replace my Monroe air to coil kit and learned they only make the springs not the strut or even shocks. In fact they couldn’t tell me whether they would ship me Monroe or Gabriel shocks. I hung up.

    You definitely are a Prius type of guy.

    You should take your carbon buildup eco for one of those BG intake cleaning jobs. Hehehe. Report back on how that worked out. Hehehehe.

    Catch Can!

    Ok Einstein. I’ll spell it out since you can’t comprede my point. Catch cans are necessary in the first place on ecoboost engines due to DI which is a flawed design FORD adopted. ( nobody said that design is new). To make matters worse, FORD installed these flawed engine designs on their F150...

    Catch Can!

    Put that catch can on there! The carbon buildup problems for earlier model ecos with mileage ( all ecos for that matter) are extremely expensive to repair. Requires tear down and lots of labor to clean valves. Buying a new head may be the better solution to consider. If you ever have cold...

    That lil ecoboost is for light duty only. Tow what you want. It’s blow up soon enough. Your cam phasers, guides, and chains will begin to disintegrate and start sounding like a diesel.

    Dude did you ever get that GED? Cause you still don’t understand what iba be talkin bout, yu feel me? Im not correlating VVT to catch cans. I’m ... fuggedaboudit.

    Catch Can!

    Some more edumacation for locowolf. “The F-150’s 2.7L and 3.5L EcoBoost V6s are good motors for a light-duty truck, but put them in a medium-duty role and they’d work too hard, too often to put out their normally impressive fuel economy numbers. They’re also light-duty truck motors built to...

    Catch Can!

    Not sure you’re reading my point accurately. First, DI in a rice burner is one thing. DI plus VVT plus teeny weeny v6 plus TT in a PICKUP TRUCK is quite another. Ford did this. Not Chevy nor dodge, certainly not Toyo. Ford. The HEMI in the Dodge PICKUP TRUCK is a v8 pusher. You comprende-ing...

    Knocking on start up

    Get Kendal 1 synthetic w liquid titanium. It’s made by the same company that makes motorcraft oil, ConocoPhillips. Kendal has a far superior additives package at half the price. Use motorcraft filter. My money is on the known issues w stock oil pump. Google it and see.

    Catch Can!

    My logic is that it’s illogical to place a teeny weeny 6 cylinder and force air through it to compensate for its teeny weeny di... Then add to that stupidity they direct inject gas into the combustion chambers and the valve train gets bathed in milky gunky goo. Ergo da catch can. All this...

    Catch Can!

    YES. WE KNOW. BUT THIS IS A FORD FORUM. No need to yell. The Mopar HEMI is a pushrod Engine so none of the issues like Fords VVT or DI on pickups.

    And this is why I’ll never buy a truck w eco boost.
