To be honest because I felt bad driving around in a Denali. Stupid I know, I have the money to do it, but I just felt weird driving around in a 55k dollar truck. I regret it now though.

Stuff happens, is it a coincidence that your screen name is a GM product? You seem to be posting questions you already have answers to!


And posting to reply to yourself in an effort to keep this thread at the top.

Trololo... The Full Original Version. - YouTube
Your name has Hemi in it could be a troll in sheeps clothing.

Well minus this ignorant remark from the home guy, I have good news. My truck should be ready next Tuesday. Hope everything goes well with it. I still wish I knew what happened to the motor to make it sound like it did. Ford will not tell me.

Incorrect, the failure rate with stock engines is approximately 0.6 percent.


SSI failure rate is less than 0.4 percent. From what info I've been able to collect the failure rate is similar with other tuners.

So the big "I know you are but what am I"? Really, take your GM troll / crap and go elsewhere. You didn't even make it past page 2 without changing the topic to GM mileage worship. Sad.


In case you didn't understand, your screen name was not the issue.

My GMC with the 6.2 achieved better mpg than my current Eco and that's just the facts. Sir, I apologize if I have offended you. I just hope my new motor will get what my 2011 Eco got in mpg. It was 18 mpg average my current one is 15mpg average.

So you had a 2011 F-150 with a Eco Boost got a GMC Denalli with 6.2 and now you have a F-150 with a Eco Boost again?
