Wow! That's quite the upgrade. This would be the equivalent of switching from a claw hammer to a 20 lb. sledge! Sorry your problems with the F150 couldn't be fixed, but at least you didn't lose faith in Ford and stayed "in the family".

Hope you enjoy your new rig.

That’s quite a jump…I would like to see the pics when you get it. That rig is going to be one long SOB…crewcab and longbed. I would love to have that here but I find it really hard parking it in a parking lot stall, and driving in the city. I am guessing you use it to haul a lot considering going for the 350 vs. the 250. Good luck and hopefully you will have zero issues with the new rig.

Its about 32 inches longer, I will have about 20 inches of driveway to spare if i touch my garage door, test drove a similar truck it drives like a tank steers like a mule but i can pull a house and when i add the banks power pack those titans will be in my smoke cloud along with all those imports


on a side note I will always stay a ford die hard i might go back to the f150 as soon as the rumors are made real on a F150 diesel platform

What do you mean by engine stalling? Like while you're driving, or like it goes to start and then stalls before you get it started? Cause that happens all the time to me.

I make an extra effort to do that every time and it still happens occasionally. And if I keep holding it the engine grinds and then stalls, so I'm sure it's not because I don't hold the key long enough. Looks like it's just going to have to go in for that problem for a second time.
