Oil filter change, oil sample, tire rotation, EBC brake pads, drained brake fluid until clear, and noticed some idiot created the brake fluid reservoir cap that says to use DOT 3 break fluid.


How do you like those EBC brake pads?

Dunno yet. Only have 12 miles on them. They have the sooper speshul break in coating and say they take anywhere from 200 to 1000 miles to break in. I figure I need to follow the 200 mile urban procedure of five 60-20 runs after 200 miles for final bed. It was a toss up between Hawk and EBC green for me. IIRC, Hawk didn't have what I wanted. Still on the original rotors.

Day 2 of towing my wave runner to ramp, dropping in, 2 hours of fun, than loaded up and back to the house for cleaning and flushing of the ski. The ski is a blast to ride, wish I did it sooner. But dropping/retrieving everyday sucks. Got a jet ski dock coming later this week.

And this was Saturday at a friend's 4th party. Just a few fireworks! Used my truck to transport the boards from garage to blast zone.

Got ballsy and ran a new model 5.0 F150. Had some sort of tuner on the dash and a very sweet sounding exhaust out in front of the tire. Just hung right beside him to 85-90 then we both lifted because of traffic. I don't know what redline is on that engine but he had to be damn near there....it was screaming. Sort of hurt my feelings how slow my big bich is.

I just looked up those f150's, if he was just tuned he could have been at 335 hp, and goes up from there to 600 with a supercharger.

My aviator and one cayenne has pulled my enclosed trailer multiple times 5k-ish. And I don't ever remember the mileage dropping like crazy. The crazy thing is my 6.4 gets the same mileage pulling something or not it averages about 15mpg. But then again that's listening to the lie o meter I've never calculated it.
I was lucky to get 8 towing in my 6.4. 12 empty. Thing sucked ass for mileage.

What? They come stock with 385. He's well over 400 with a tune. That new ecoboost is making like 450+ on a tune.

Dont mix up brake HP and RWHP.
I know that's what they are making at the crank. I never said I was saying rwhp. All I'm saying, those ecoboost engines are wicked. You tune that, I bet it could beat a tuned 6.4. I bet it weighs 3k less.

Except that it was a 5.0 liter and not an EcoBoost according to the Op

If they are making Ecoboost's sound like that one, sign me up.



Didn't realize I was going to start an argument over this...

Considering the weight difference, I'd say you did pretty well

The 5.0 is definitely a good sounding engine. My bro in laws has a roush intake and he just put an exhaust on it last week and it sounds amazing. Personally I don't think I could ever grow to like the sound of the ego boost.

Installed my painted grille shell, mirror caps, and tailgate handle. Emblems are next on the list.
