I painted half the frame with Rustoleum earlier this summer but lost the motivation 
Since I'm off 3 more days I guess this would be a good time to do it as long as it isn't raining........like it's suppose to.

I got to compare the EB and the 5.0 yesterday, on test drives. The EB was impressive to me from the standpoint that it's a small V6 putting out that power, but it did not feel anymore powerful than the 5.0. In fact, it had one very annoying feature to me. When you punched it to pass, you had to wait for it's response. It would take off slowly and then kick in. I liked the instant resonse from the 5.0 much better. The soulnd of the V6 did not bother me as much as I expected. The drives settled it for me, I liked the 5.0 much better. I can even change the plugs on it.
The XLTs with the special package is really a nice truck. Very quiet. I really like the interior and the put insulation back under the hood. Still hate the exterior, though.

the 5.0 with an intake manifold swap and some boost will lay some serious smack down on the ecoboost
