LAG? uhhhh, when? from 1000 to 1500rpms?
AXLE SKIP? you mean axle hop? probably form the 400lb/ft at 2000rpm. my 5.0 hopped and bounced when it spun the tires too, problem was it had to be wet out or ice cold out to spin them and revving to 4k rpm.

hilarious post. love this forum. will read again.

There's no place in here for facts & logic!

LOL!

That doesn't say anything, other than that you're hilariously suckered by marketing campaigns. Defensive huh? Read your post again. How's that glass house holding up for you?
Get back to me in 200,000 miles. Oh that's right, you won't.

How is that a fanboy comment? You're claiming the Eco won't last till 200000. I'm simply asking for proof that the 5.0 will which is what you're implying.

In a 20 year span there is a higher chance of service departments collectively making more $$ on EB repairs than 5.0 repairs. The content of your post wasn't fanboyish, but the fact that that you had to respond to me with that was since I wasn't talking to you. Zx12iowa is an obvious 5.0 hater who is overly desperate to defend his purchase and deserved my reply.
