we are working on an 05 f150 scab 4x4 5.4 with 3.55 gears, it has 6 miles on it. i had to take the service manager back to the dealer ship, so i decided to get on it a little on the way back to our shop. this truck is so much faster than mine. it will spin the tires for 5-10 feet. mine wont even break them loose. its pretty much the same except it has higher gears, which should make it slower around town. im convinced i got some fluke truck with half the power it should have. it makes me that much closer to getting an xcal2. im really gonna see how my truck will do this weekend. pulling my bros toy hauler. 4500lbs dry. 3-4 quads.

 

cheap tires will slip, great tires stick.

 

i considered that, but the new truck will roast the tires, mine wont even make noise. and the new one isnt even broken in. still smoking from the tail pipe when i drove it.

 

three trucks can roll of the assembly line, same engines, ect..one of the three is going to out perform the othier two, one of the two will be put to gethier better, one of the three will get beter mileage...one of the trhree is just going to the better truck...Reflash your coumputer...the 05 might be running a diff. tune from the factery than your 04..

 

mine is the 4th one, its slow, gets horrible mpg. and has some assembly problems, most taken care of though.

 

mine is slow too but then it is a big truck. do what everyone else does and throw money at it!!!

 

im actually doing what the few do. find something fast to drive. ive got a blown vw baja that will be running in a few weeks. the 150 is the daily driver and to tow the bug to the dunes

 

im the same as you, ive got a 450hp sleeper 70 torino in my yard, thats my go fast car. not to mention 3 other classic fords that dont currently run.....

if youre main purpose is to go fast, get something from the 60's - EARLY 70's

 

You have to admit though, fast trucks are sweet

 

if your looking to go faaaast, leave your 60's and 70's cars in the garage and drive a 2004 Cobra. Im a old ford fanatic and have 2 of them but If you ask me TODAY is the day of the musclecar.

 

Someone else on here mentioned getting reflashed, and it woke the truck up. I'd give that a shot first. I'd still get the Xcalibrator, but see what happens with a reflash.
