:anitoof: Sorry guys I had to troll y’all. Last F150 I owned was my 04.5. I had it until 2013. I wouldn’t be caught dead in one. I had to drive my dads 2 miles and that was enough. It had a slight load and man you can feel that v6. Not sure the thing even has a boost gauge. I couldn’t find it. Should I mention the claustrophobic interior? I do like the tailgate step tho. Wish our 4th gens had that. Other then that nope. Oh and it doesn’t get better mpg then my Hemi.

I'm so glad to hear that. Hard to find hardcore Mopar guys. I've always said I'm one of the last 3 left. I always hope I'm wrong! Hope you're not yanking my chain again! Lol

I’m not jumping ship. That two mile trip was awful. I sent that picture to my wife. He liked my 04.5 and this is why I think coming back of my ram that he borrowed for 3 years. He complained so much about the gas mileage. He’s getting 13 with the ecoboost. I get 14-15 and a Hemi. Why take a v6 when you can have a Hemi.

You're right, add 2 turbo's to the Hemi and then compare power! It's called, Apple's and Apple's!

My Dodge could get 5 Mpg and I wouldn't be tempted to another brand!

I started the day with the intention of claying, polishing, waxing and topcoat on truck. Sweat, low back and laziness conspired against me. Ended up washed, clayed, washed again and megs ceramic wax. Gonna call it a 'speriment :p

Is that orange, sometimes hard to tell with these phones? Manual or automatic? Mine was a 6 speed and I put a pistol grip shifter in! Another thing Mopar did and I always liked!

Orange w/black leather.
5spd auto, just like my Ram.
Same radio, sunroof, 20" wheels.
You probably already know but you might want to check on the timing chain issues they had with the automatic cars around those years. Hopefully it's already been taken care of.

Well slapped my alpha Rex lux series in and my carven exhaust now I feel a lot more complete in my truck, I think I’m done for now once I toss led bulbs in my fogs.

FINALLY gave the truck a nice wash today. Didn't get too crazy as it's supposed to rain tomorrow, just wanted to get it cleaned up. It was bugging me.
She needs some work. Needs clay, polish and wax badly. Hopefully I can do that soon. I like to do it at least once a year, but should really be done twice a year. Not enough time. LOL

What are you going to use? I had excellent results the the Chemical guys clay medium clay bar, Adams Scratch and swirl remover, Chemical guys V38 and then I ceramic coated it with Adams.
