Im a Ford Fan Boi, but the F150 is the best looking truck hands down, Including the 2 and 3 Fitty. The Fiat Ram and French Cheby just doesnt give me a Haad On... Just to let ya know I love the Vette and the 55-57 Chevies plus 67-69 Camaros... Behind the 64 1/2-2020+ Mustangs and anything Ford... Dodge can drop dead for all I care...

Want to get some spacers to put the tires even with the fenders.

Boostr1 · Jan 11, 2021

Well the catch can works... Can't believe this crud goes back thru the intake.

Had to get these so I can do the front end level project and wheel spacer install.

catch cans do catch some oil, but when things are cold it also makes condensation and thats what put a lot of that liquid in there. i know from experience...

Lol, my boss fell for it when he took the oil filler cap off of his 17' Cobra Jet. He saw the milky oil under the cap and ripped the valve cover off to find out it was perfectly clean.

Wanted to order the BumperShellz front bumper center piece in ABS so I could match paint it to the grill... They want $29 shipping and it would ship in 10 to 21 days... lol WTH! I'll wait when they get their act together.

Nice! The level does a nice job of making it not look like it has two flat front tires.

I picked up a 2016 F150 with the 2.7 also in November. Super cab, 4x4, tow package, pretty much the same truck. The leveling kit is next on my list.

On a side note I bought a few base tunes from Five Star (still had the X4 from my Fusion). I ordered an 87 Tow, 91 Performance, and 93 Performance. If you fancy a tuner or to tune, huge difference even with just the 87 Tow tune. I am running the 91 now (with 92 fuel) and it is a friggin riot! It is comical to have a big truck accelerate that quickly.

I just wish the truck sounded better, I just pulled the resonator out and put in the 3" delete pipe, that is about all I can handle.

Thanks Yeah, I definitely like the way it looks now.
How does it sound with the res delete? Been thinking about that mod as well.
I was surprised how this truck scoots with the little 2.7 TT motor. I was shopping for a 3.5 Eco or 5.0, but the sales rep asked me just to try the 2.7... and the rest is history.

I'm gonna wait on the tunes for I still have a year left of my Ford Premium Care Plan. Need to take it in cause I found oil on the drivers side turbo and the oil pan is wet as well. I'm glad I purchased that plan when I bought the truck.

Are you on the F150 Forums as well?

50HSN95 · Jan 22, 2021

It is slightly louder, and you can hear the exhaust side of the turbos a bit clearer, very minor change in tone, and windows up inside, no difference, no drone. Windows down it sounds a bit more aggressive but still mellow.

I was in the same boat, wanted a Coyote, but the more I talked to people, the more the 2.7 seemed the best way to go. No regrets, love how it drives. Now a turbo Coyote would have been fun, but the 2.7 is still awesome. I avoided the 3.5 due to the timing chain issues I have read about.

I am on the F150 forum also, same user name. There is so much info there is is mind boggling! I bought the Forscan license and have been having fun with modding the truck with LED's, Bambi mode, and some audio changes.

Here is my intro there. I'm getting black Raceline wheels installed here fairly soon also. Anxious to see how they look.
