I got two out of three of the ACE vintage staplers that my grandparents were getting rid of as they are cleaning and downsizing things from their house

This still has 6 cylinders, just 700lbs lighter!

We are pretty close but they need to come my way just a tad bit more. If nothing happens within the next 30 mins im walking and they can call me if they want a sale

I was looking online last night and I saw a '15 XLT Sport supercrew 3.5 Ecoboost (equivalent to an FX2 I believe) for only $37k!

Hope they're cheaper than Harley grilles -- I was looking at them over the weekend on ebay and the cheapest one I could find was over $600.00......

Just got home..They told me they will call me by lunch time tomorrow if they can do the deal i want, we are only 800 bucks apart.. we were 1000 and they said they cant go any lower, then i pulled out my owners advantage card that has 200 dollars towards new vehicle purchase. Think it made them a little mad cause i waited so long to bring up the 200 off.


These 3.5Eb's really run in these 15s.. i was shocked. The 5.0 seems better also than last years truck, just have to kick it in the butt and get it up in the higher rpm before it starts pulling hard.

3.5 eb showed 22.9mpg after 10 miles at 65mph, 5.0 showed 20.7 the same 10 miles at 65mph and that was both accelerating wide open to the 65 before keeping the speed steady.

Should've drove the 2.7 eb to compare but im not interested in it since its a first year motor.

Maybe tomorrow is the day, if not im happy with my ol 13

Another thing is seems like they backed off of the advance track and tc kicking on all the time.. with the eb it flashed 1 time but i couldnt tell that it actually slowed the truck down.. with my truck and everything off it will still cut power and fall on its face for a split second then take off again

you are correct! Those were sturdy, not the junk you get today.
