Well the F150 FB pages are up and going today. Check out this one. Brian is a good guy, but the other person, I don't know, but the MPG is ludicrous.

Bill Johnson Running all the scenarios, there is no way in Hell, that any GEN 10 will get 23 mph, period. They were never designed to get over 19 or 20, and that was the very best for testing. Maybe if there was a small diesel in the hole, possibly. With all the Ford gas motors, none are going to give you 23 in our trucks.

Bill Johnson 3:73's and 23 mpg? No way is that even possible with these gas motors. The 373 kills mpg. Maybe 273 or 308, with a 4.6 and all hiway miles, you might get to 20. 23 is just .............

2100.....yeah I saw that. Skylar too. Complaining about getting 7 mph? He has another thread today, so I'm guessing that is what you are talking about. Don't forget the one with the rear end disc brakes. LOL.

It's my morning laugh show. Just going there, watching the crap spew out, then go hammer them for the stupidity. Welcome to my mornings. LOL

I'm going to sound like an idiot here.... but what keeps the trans from leaking fluid all over the place? Luckily, this is a 2WD, so not anything to disconnect up front?

The problem getting it up on a trailer is just that.... getting it up on a trailer OR a dolly for that matter. It doesn't run, so, you know? LOL.

Whitey......did I miss something? Why pull the shaft from the transmission. Just pull it at the differential and tie it up. No fluid loss that way.

Maybe I came in late on this. LOL. With all the BS on the FB pages, I'm getting lost. Must be an older age thingy. LOL

I guess that'll work.... didn't think too hard about that one, LOL. Go ahead, call me Skylar.

Maybe I'll see if my Buddy has a 4R70W yoke I can have/borrow and plug it in there.

Cheap little harbor freight come-along. Just be careful not to get your skin caught in it...you'll be minus a chunk.
