I know haha I wanna see what it can do only bad thing is this high elevation you never get to feel how powerful they really are up here to u go down to sea level.

It does feel totally different steering, ride comfort, and alittle more quite.

But yea I plan on keeping this truck for a long time since I did buy it new unless this motor takes a **** or sumthin which I hope it doesnt lol

I'm still alittle worried about the motor holding up for 150k+ miles since these motors dont have much time on the road, and I don't know of anybody that has more then 40,000 miles on one of these.

Anybody else think that way or is it just me?

i had a nice and beautiful 06 King ranch that i had the best sounding stereo system in. i had the 5.4 and drank plenty of gas but i somehow seemed to always get hit by UNINSURED motorist with it.

i traded it in for a 2011 3.7 XLT with deluxe interior and i havent really looked back though. i don't notice really much of a power loss though but geez did i gain a heck of alot more MPG on the highway. i've gotten 24MPG with the 3.7 traveling and only got 17ish with the 5.4.


its also nice having that 6th seat in between the driver and passenger, i got small children.

Good luck with the new EB! I am interested to hear how the power will be in the EB in higher elevations.

Thanks man. It moves out pretty good. It can break the tires loose so that's saying something

I have the 1 1/2 blocks in the rear and the 3 bolt spacers in the front. Got the set on e bay $195 and paid $300 to install. It looks much better. I have the 20" rims and can run 275-65 R20 size tires which is next.
I also removed the front and rear bumpers ( the rear is so cheap, that I would bet it weighs maybe 5-6 pounds)
I installed Ranch hand front and rear....took about 3 hours. Big difference. cost ($1275 inc. shipping)
