It used to be 20% of everything in America was made Monday morning or Friday afternoon. So people were either hung over or planning on getting the hangover started.

I wonder what a 29 hour work week will do to America

Ya, Rodney (Boostedlimited) Mike, and a few others have pretty much proved these engines can take just about what ever you can throw at it.

Rodney is pushing I think 20-21psi of boost across the board, and mike is hitting mid to upper 20s with his turbo upgrades.

This is a thread I'm glad to see pop up. I bought a livernois tuner and had my truck tuned for 2 days. I Saw ghosts story and a few others about their engines blowing up and ford giving them a hard time with warranty. I know you gotta pay to play but it costs $15,000 for a new Eco motor.

It sounds like everyone is doing well with tunes trucks.

Was the manifold that cracked on the same side as the turbo that went out? When your turbo went out did it start smoking and just go out or did you start jearing funny noises but still had boost?

I know for a fact that if you are up front with me at the place i work for i always try to find any way i can to help the custo!
But if you send me on a wild goose chase and are a d!c# to me then your on your own, you need to remember that the guys working on your cars most likely are doing the same thing

Ask your dealer to write out on paper that your tune that he sells you will not void your warranty.

Hey, how did it go with your friends truck? Did Ford pay for a new engine?
