JBREW YOU SOB Bout puked on myself...I think I would be dragging the back bumper on the ground with that in the bed


Patrick, I was actually looking for a 2wd for awhile but couldnt find one like I wanted, so I ended up with what I wanted plus 4wd. Not a bad deal I guess, comes in pretty nice sometimes around here.
Only way Ill own another 4six is if I have lots of money to dump into it. Even though my old 4six was a pretty strong runner, I just have to laugh when I punch the gas in this thing...my old truck woulda been sitting on the line wonder what the he!! just happened as this thing is crossing the finish line, showing nothing but the tail lights

Klitch, I got a 6.5 foot bed...all the room I need

 

yeah but it sucks when you get rained on.

 

That's what the tonneua is for, and when it's sunny out its still dark where your sleeping. Comes in handy when you have morning class an evening class and a 40 mile commute.

 

Im hoping there is a place around here that will let me trade my old cover from the '99 plus some cash for a new cover that will fit the 06.

 

damn guys 10 more pages and im only gone a day lol

 

Haha. Im a proud 4.9L I6 owner. Im not saying I'm hittin 0-60 anytime soon, not really race worthy. I like it for the fact that its a long lived engine. It might not make the most power. But people around my area (middle of nowhere almost) say its about the next best thing to a diesel though. In fact, I'll bet people with that idea, would help Ford would make a killin now, since diesel prices are skyrocketing, if they brought back a bigger, suped up version of the 300 I6.

Either way, my 300 I6 is still running, and thats all I care about. It gets me from point A to B, and hasn't failed me yet, and its 203,000 miles now. I know thats probably not anywhere near broken in compaired to the 'towing/pulling' miles I've seen on other trucks. But still, it has never died on me, or not started. Every time I turn that key, I've got a dependable, running engine.

 

yah true, but id never need the 4x4, and i like my trucks to have a low center of gravity

So you saying the new truck would smoke the old one? Wanna race?

 

You aren't afriad your Rcab 5.4 would get beaten a 4.6 Screw are you?

 

Those old 300 I6s are tough engines; built like a brick ***** house.





Patrick...my old truck could give a stock 5four a decent run for its money...but this new truck seems so much quicker.
Name the time and place


The thing is actually a bit of a dog off the line..., but it picks up quite a bit on the top end. I think a lot of it is that stupid electronic throttle control. Thing also seems to shift slower than my old truck.

A tune would do this thing wonders

 

Hell na!

 

TEXAS... lmao...

yah ive actually already been beaten by a 5.4 3v... in 3rd gear the computer further advances the timing (so ive been told) so thats why it feels like it has more power up top...

But yah i want to find a 04+ 4.6 rc/sb to run... Ive raced (and beat) edward, but hes on 35s or 37s and 4.56 gears, so its not really fair run....
-Patrick

 

real men dont use toneau's. real men sleep UNDER the truck :P

 

Hey...someday I want to live in Texas I think... Maybe years down the road we will meet up


Could be something like that. One of the reasons that I sorta wanted to stay with a pre 04 model was to stay away from the computer running friggin everything, oh well though.

Id think you would take a 4.6 in a new style pretty easily...These bishes wiegh a crap-ton. This new reg. cab seems even bulkier and heavier than my old ext. cab. You probably dont wiegh a whole lot more than one, plus you have the power advantage over them...

 

I suppose next your gonna tell me real men drive lifted trucks too eehh...

 

Good luck
