It's awesome isn't it?! It's funny you mention that though, because I'm probably going to be putting mine back in tomorrow. I'm kinda nervous with all the reading I've done about how they help spin the air going into the turbos. I will miss that extra whistle though.

Yea, i did some reading on the topic on the eb only website and alot of tuners along with other people that know these ebs say its just to keep them quieter. Its loud enough on my truck people actually look when i get on it alittle bit. Thinking about taking the diaper off also, suppose to get a little more turbo sound bouncing off the road with it off. Also considering doing VTA..

Yeah I've been reading a bit on F150ecoboost.net. "The purpose, according to an engineer that I know at Ford, is to cut down on the sound from the turbos so that owners won't think they are driving a TT truck. Ford originally wanted this motor to outperform the V8 segment, but not get any criticism about it being TT, including the sound..."

I was in good samaritan mode today....

Helped up a couple of people who fell on the ice+snow this morning

The first 100 miles of the trip back....

Pull a dawdge out

Pulled a chebby out

Pulled 2 fords out...a super duty and an ecotooter

Then I gave a guy a jump start at a gas station and temporarily fixed his broken alt belt with paracord...

All in all me and the gmc had a good day

Sounds like you were in Santa mode! Good deeds never go unrewarded.

That Blue Swede song always sounded like an African Doo Wop group of back up singers! That song came out not too long after B.J. Thomas did the original version.
