Default She's back!
Well, I finally got all the bugs with my new engine worked out, put my grille on, smoked my tail lights, got my exhaust on, and have put about 600 miles on her.. Running beautifully! Anyone know how to insert a video without posting to YouTube? Now I'll just leave it as this

Yes, is is clearly stated the redneck f150 manual page 67 that you MUST smoke the tires within 100 miles during break.

Didn't even do this with the old one.. It lasted 288,000 if that says anything about how I drive and maintain it .. I've been babying this one too except for one burnout
