I looked under the hood for the first time since I bought my new truck and WOW was I suprised.

You guys have probably seen my threads of constant complaining about my f150 because I switched from a dodge to a Ford and the things Ford cuts corners on amazes me.

I have never seen an engine bay look so sloppy it looks like 2 kids with 20 rolls of electrical tape started hacking away. Is this on every 5.0 L or did mine get out together by said kids.

On the other hand I saw my buddies 3.5 engine bay which looked pretty clean?!

 

So .... Mustang-ize it ...

 

It's a truck not a show car. First thing I did before I even test drove it was to pop the hood and get an eye full, might be because of my career as a tech that it's sort of just what I do on anything I buy with an engine.

 

Well, what does the Ram engine look like? I also always check things out for maintenance by myself. I did kind of miss that plug changing on my current '02.

 

Cant say I have ever worried about the cosmetics of the engine bay as long as the truck performed as intended

 

Pretty soon you're gonna run out of things to complain about...

 

almost done


I like that can you give me a link where I can order that stuff to "Mustangize it"

 

Looks like I haven't because Ford quality keeps creating them . Just started to rain here in BC and my rear passenger side door is leaking now.......... ....

 

Then sell the truck lol. That's what I did with my 09 Ram because it was such a pathetic slow pile..... like most Hemi's are lol.

 

How does a bunch of hanging tape become excusable because it's a truck?

This is one of the first things I noticed when my truck was new.

Maybe the truck won't fall apart on the highway because of it, but it sure isn't a sign of quality.
