Actually, the reason I am staying in Hillsboro tonight is because I couldn't get a hotel room in Waco -- I was thinking there was probably something going on (graduation?) at Baylor, but now I wonder if it's because of all the law enforcement and media that are still in town because of the motorcycle gang thing.....???

 

Very possible, I know they had a big rally with hundreds of bikers Sunday at the courthouse. They may still be in town

Holy Crap! Why cant ford come out with this from the factory?

Ive watched it about 10 times now..

 

That's ridiculous. Wait til that malfunctions and someone's truck ends up in the water.

 

or someone rig it to where it works in a forward gear, cruising down the road at 70 controlling the truck with a ****

 

mom got an ultrasound today....better not turn up anything serious.....

and last real day of grade 12..... just need to keep enough in the ole brain to pass 2 exams next week

 

But, it's a 5.0, it can't tow anything.

 

i love the way it sounds, overall awesome build.. Looks like just any other f150 on the street.

 

True, awesome machine. I wonder what it would cost to build it. Did they build up the bottom end?

 

I heard from someone that is pretty close with MPT that it was around 30k on the upgrades. I noticed he kept saying in the video Aluminator 5.0.. Not sure what the difference is if any..

 

That's about double what I expected, so maybe they did upgrade the internals.

 

Aluminator is big in the mustang world. Safe for for lots of power. Stronger webbing in the block around the main, as well as forged bottom end. It's like 12k engine IIRC
