Ate my first ECOBOOST!

[preachp]

Hi All,
On the 13 if I turn TC off and turn tow/haul mode on it makes a big difference. Even if I turn TC off it still sticks it's little electronic nose where it doesn't belong. But for some reason when I do both then there is a definite change in attitude.

The joy of being north of the 49th, eh. Where are you located?

Psh, does anyone actually live north of Alaska? Looking at Wiki and choosing the northern most location it says 0-5 people haha.

At least you don't get shafted by a 40% increase in price just because of the exchange rate, plus another 5-13% for tax and duty with another potential 10-15% for brokerage. Our shipping ****** penetration is comparable though.


As for being further north, I worked a bunch in Norman Wells which is a little further north than Nome and Fairbanks and some more time in Bathurst Island and Repulse Bay.

Not to be picky but isn't the exchange rate only 25%? You guys do get hammered with all those percentages added up though. Ridiculous.
Barrow is a decent sized place plus I know Deadhorse says a very low population but that's only because the thousands of people living there only live there half the time for work haha.

Regarding the OP, one of my mechanics has 2014 ECOBoost with a tune, intake, and catless y-pipe. Is about to trade it in for a Cummins and wants to race before he does. I told him it would be hilariously unfortunate if he blew his ECOBoost up right before trading it in.

Hahaha serious. I bet that sucker was fast with that tune.

It was. Didn't tow that great though.

 

[tncruiser]

you do know street racing is illegal ,but who cares not me
BUT STREET RACING AN ECOBOOST IS IMMORAL YOU PROBABLY SENT YOUR BUDDY LOOKING FOR A SAFE SPACE OR A LEAST TO HIS CONSOLER FOR A THERAPY SESSION
which he can obtain free at his ram dealer

OK cool, someone else necro'd this thread so I don't have to be blamed. Seriously considering trading in for a F-150 now sooner than later, just seems to be more current tech than the ol' hemi v8
