Took them 8 hours to change my oil last time I took it in for maintenance lol.

**** that!

I've had my company truck (2012 Ecoboost) for 58k miles now and it's been a nice truck. That said, here are the pros and cons:

Pros:
- great power
- eats 87 if you want it to
- I have a 17 mile 1 way commute in traffic and it gets 17.5 in the winter, near 19 in the summer-- gas blend differences it gets 21-23 on the highway.
- quiet
- good ride
- tons of rear leg room

Cons:
- first brake job at 40k. Brakes were warped at 20, and I rode it out. My past 3 Chevys never had the brakes done once in over 100k. I'm not the only one to have this issue.
- drive shaft clunk. It's been there from 5k on.
- sync system can be annoying at times.
- A/C is MUCH weaker than any GM a/c I've ever had. It cools but, that's it. It's not cold.

I know this may come as a surprise to many people here, but i have a thing for turbo motors.

Also another part of me see's how much room is under the hood for bigger turbo's and the tunability of these motors is pretty stellar so far. RACETRUCK!!!!

If I did i'd probably get the ecotec3 5.3, but they just aren't hitting the mark in the looks department and there are no good incentives on the new trucks yet because they are so new.

Yes, and I'm sure you've seen the Livernois vid of a tuned Ecoboost that 90 at the wheels. There's a ton of power left in it. The twins spool quick, and the dang thing is dead silent when spooling. Personally, I'd like a little more whoosh.

Also, I could have chosen a Chevy or Ford when I picked my past truck, I chose the ford b/c I wanted to have a boosted vehicle. Gotta say, boost is addicting. Now, both me and the wife are running boosted rides. Mid range torque can't be beat in a boosted vehicle.

Some guy asked for advice for his slicks, as far as tire PSI, burnout time, and rpm launch on a M6.

I responded with:
10psi
Until no one can see, due to smoke
4,500 RPM

If he does well, I claim full credit. Otherwise, I was kidding. Especially the burnout part.
He said thank you, waiting for drag strip results.

Time to make the v6 owner account!

I'd go with an fx2 but Ford doesn't make a ton of them and the ones that i've found are missing key packages or colors that I want. I got on offer so far for an fx4 that stickers at 52k for $40,500 after incentives and discounts. I'll probably hardly ever use 4x4 but it's nice to have it when I do.

There all over the place here in TX. That said, you're in Il or NV, bot along way from here.

I like the gm drivetrain and think the new 5.3 is a pretty stout motor, but it's time for a change and I'm just not digging that interior. I hate to be superficial about something most truck owners would rank dead last in importance, but I just don't want to sit in it.
