Very nice.



How does the Ecoboost feel?
Power is great. Very little turbo lag and boost comes on pretty quickly. I love the sound of spooling turbos!

I rode in one a couple weeks ago. I'm very impressed.

Can we get some more pics? Or a review in another thread perhaps? I am planning to pick one of these up later this year.

I like it in this form a lot. A Ranger with a 3" body lift and 33" offset tires is perfect.


This is what I'd like to do to mine but I don't see the point since mine isn't 4x4.

Yup - stock hood.  It's called the "Sport" hood, and is an option; $750 IIRC on a new truck (Express or Sport only), or ~$1,000 (+paint) over the counter to add to any truck.

It's a '12 Ram crew cab, Sport, 4x4, Hemi.  The only things not stock in that pic are the step bars, wheels (came from a 2013 Sport), and the headlights have been disassembled and the bezels painted black, and retrofitted with HID projectors, and the tonneu cover.

I'm very happy with it!

It looked like this, stock (day after I bought it):

You can black out the housings on most any headlights, including Silverados.  (not my truck)

Yes, aware, but you can pull apart any housing and "black" them. There's a thread on gmfullsize.com and duramaxforum.com showing how to do this on your GM's. That was a poor choice of pictures ,but I am at work, and my time with Google Image Search is limited

Well - all I can say is that the ones on *my* truck are the OEM lights, with the bezels painted black and retrofitted with projectors.  Why am I so sure?  'cause I did the work!

You can also buy aftermarket lights with black housings as well.

When the paint started flaking & peeling too bad, I rattle canned it...




After beating the heck out of it for the last 10 years, it looks like I'm finally going to have to get the trans (C6) rebuilt.



I just picked this one up last night, it's going to be my son's 1st car...

2011 F-150 XLT with 5.0l and 3.73 rear end.  14k on the clock.



Needed something that could tow the boat as the Jeep XJ didn't have the towing package and I didn't want to burn up a perfectly good XJ.  Saw it online and fell in love.  Went to look at it and found that they forgot to list that it had remote start and aftermarket exhaust.  One test drive and sold!  Newest and nicest vehicle I have ever owned.  Only mods that I will add are a Truxedo Lo Pro QT and Line-X bedliner.

It wasn't lifted, I just had the torsion bars turned up a little.  I was tired of the rough ride, so I cranked it back down and added 2" drop shackles to level the back.  It's slowly developing into a race truck, so I ditched the front bumper.  Of course, I almost hit a deer at 80mph the week I took it off.  I plan on buying a new Powerstroke when I graduate and making it my daily with 35s, bumpers, etc.

The new powerstrokes are badass, but I have a love affair with the 94-97s. I don't want a new truck, they are too complex....
