My humble opinion is that the 5.0 and ecoboost trucks put down a ton of power in comparison and set the bar for what a "truck" should be from a drivability standpoint... forgetting that historically they've been slow as fuck

 

Also the Ford transmission shift map is way better

 

Those 5.0s for an NA motor take very well to bolt ons, unlike the stupidly inefficient modular motors that were the 4.6

The ecoboost as well, but their water pump design scares me after someone posted it here awhile ago.

 

I find it amusing that Ford can make a 10 speed auto trans shift better and less erratically than Toyota's 6 speed lol

Can you imagine a 3rd gen with a 10 speed auto, it wouldn't know wtf to do

 

Some of you guys will get it

Ford's truck automatics have been pretty damn solid since the mid 2000s. Those trucks were getting 6 speeds while the second gen tacomas got 4.

 

race to 10th prestige

 

Yeah seeing that water pump design on the 3.5 and the 5.0’s having oil consumption issues is making it real hard for me to buy a Ford. I kinda want a turd gen after reading that shit......ninja edit LOL

 

Long time no see brother!

How's the little one?

How are you and the family doing?

 

Just so I understand, you have the top 3 bolts in at the coil buckets but you cant turn the lower eyelets to line up the miss alinement spacers to the lower control arms. If this is the case take 2 tie downs one on each side of the coil. Loop them around the coil and ratchet down. This will take the pressure off the lower coil seat and the eyelet. You "should be able to turn the eyelet and shaft at this point.

 

Yeah I'm going to try that this coming Tuesday.

I have more tools in my storage and apartment, and was working only with the tools I carry in the truck.

Relieving tension the way you mentioned is the ticket, not to mention getting a longer screw driver for more leverage at the bottom

 

Just funny how the Tacoma Fox went in with a breeze, and the 4R Kings were beating me up.

Think my back and rushing to get errands done got the best of me that's all.

Sciatica sucks

 

Yeah forgot to mention that I think I used a 16 inch screwdriver also

 

slow is smooth and smooth is fast

 

Good my friend. Everything is good. I’m still here floating around keeping tabs as best as possible.

Seen you got that runner, she sexy.

 

Just had a flashback of when we were running drills and our squad leader was thrashing us....I was an FNG at that time...

 

Hell yeah that's good to hear

Yep I got it last week, then nerve pain got the best of me for a week.

Got the rear suspension done yesterday.
