Roush non/IC on an 09 5.4?

The rest of it I make mistakes on, call me on it. I will own it or research it until I find the answer. You can call me on it, and I will respond. Don't throw a one liner in there and roll your eyes and expect me to take no offense to it. The way you respond to me is condescending. I just ask for mutual respect, no matter who is right or wrong.

If I knew you like I know someone like JMC, I would laugh AND learn.
But through the internet, all I see is a Master Technician with a blower that has done a lot of reading on these forums. Think about how YOU would react to your post before you post. BTW- How many blowers have YOU installed? Look, what the hell difference does it make if it is a $30K Shelby or a $60K Shelby when you missed the fact that the reason I posted was that who ever put that wonderful sounding cam in installed it incorrectly? You noticed the nameplate but missed the SMOKE out of the tail pipe. I wonder if they re-used the BEARINGS?
Right. Not only did you not fix it, You did not get paid for it. THEN it got sent to me to fix at the dealer! And then I had double trouble, 3-valve or 2...

Also including my truck I've done 4 blower installs on different vehicles. Although I don't see how that matters anyone on this site can do it with the right tools. There you go trying to make your epenis bigger, first trying to impress with certifications now with how many times you bolted on blowers.
I'm sorry you don't impress me and that pisses you off (I don't understand why you care who gives a f) and I'm also sorry random off topic post about prochargers in the last 15 threads bores me too. Just ignore my "one liners" when I correct you often and live your life.

Well, that escalated quickly! I'm going to look at the truck first and them maybe call Troyer or possibly look at alternatives before I do anything. I just happen to have the Roush on hand but I know I could sell it quickly if I found and alternative. No hard feelings with any one here, I know people are passionate about what they know or think they know but in the end its still a good place to get feed back and some knowledge. If I decide to go forward (whether it goes on my F150 or I trade for the F250) I'll keep everyone posted.

Couldn't resist. Had to be done.
Squints2c I hope you at least got a laugh out of all of this. You are a new member and this is not how things use to go. But here lately it is becoming common place. Hopefully it will stop soon. 3 perfectly good threads have been wrecked in the last week and now yours. Oddly enough the stupidity posted in your thread this morning wasn't even related to your thread but instead to the other threads that were ruined.

WOW, I'm just glad that I didn't ask about oil and when it should be changed....
.
I really just wanted it to tow (roughly 1500 miles a year) my keystone 31bhpr camper, 6500# dry. I have a low mileage KCab F150 with an electric fan and airbags, rancho 9000 shocks front and back. It does a great job and I know that the Roush will fit it with no mods. Really the only advantage the 250 would have would be the tranny and crewcab, so I think I have decided to just put the SC on the f150 and keep it.
I do appreciate the feedback and will prob ask more when I get ready to install. Right now I'm waiting on a drilled and tapped HB pulley that is on B/O. Thanks for the feedback.

Now, in your case, it will need supporting mods. You will want to add a tranny cooler for example... But tuning is the key, so call JDM. TELL HIM if you tow. Tell him how much you weigh and haul, and tell him how you drive and what you intend to use the truck for (Weekend racing for example). That way he can better serve you.

truck came from factory with tow package so it already has trans cooler. No racing here, just pulling the camper in the summer and trips to lowes. Only has 42000 on it now so its not been abused at all. I plan on changing the fluid in the tranny and possibly a valve body kit in a year or so. I plan on have a tow tune and an economy if possible. Gonna stay conservative. If I want to go fast I have a Taurus SHO.

Here is my personal experience on towing with a forced induction engine. It makes it a hell of a lot easier. But....... Heat will kill the engine and transmission. The extra torque could snap parts that were not designed to handle it. Hills are killer because the blower kicks in and makes more power for you but the by-product is heat. It is pretty flat here so I don't have to worry about hills but they will sneak up and bite you in the ****. I drive 18 wheelers and ours have oil temp gauges. On long hills or steep ones we (obviously) down shift and that is when the oil temps rise.
IMHO stay away from an F-250 with a 5.4. Heavy truck smallest engine option.
