[@thunderroad7289]

I have a eco boost in mine and it has 300000 thousand miles on it. It’s amazing how well a engine will last when you use good oil snd changing the oil when it needs to be changed. I just bought a 2020 f 250 with the 7.3 in it and I love that truck and engine.

[@StarGateSG7]

I would also ALWAYS put in an aftermarket performance radiator (i.e. a Mishimoto), an extra oil cooling and transmission fluid cooling system AND a larger more rugged oil filter AND a replace the current hood with a carbon fibre forced ram-air hood which has the big air scoops which will suck in cool air and force the hot air out from the engine bay much faster than normal (it also makes the truck more muscular and rugged-looking!) Then I always put in 5W40 all-Synthetic engine oil and run -40F Winter-rated coolant fluid and change them BOTH OUT after 3000 miles (5000 km) or 3 months (whichever comes first!). Every 40,000 miles (60,000 km) you then do a full engine flush to get rid any build-up of carbon deposits and oil sludge. Doing that type of maintenance religiously lets you enjoy your truck for 10 years and more with no issues! I know people who have gotten 750,000 miles+ on their F150 and Superduty trucks simply by doing proper fluid changes/maintenance/tune-up on an every 3000 miles or every 3 month schedule! v

You can’t go wrong with the king of all trucks! I’m so glad you got the 5.0. There are less and less of us on the road that want that 5.0 reliability over the increased power of a twin asthmatic. F150s are so roomy and comfortable inside. The cabin space is tough to beat. There’s plenty of leg room in the 2nd row for passengers to kick back and relax, without feeling overcrowded if you happen to throw a few bags back there. Seating in the Tundra feels tight and cramped, not to mention there’s even a loss of potential storage space under the seats. The only thing I like about the Tundra is the entire rear window goes down, which is extremely useful, whereas with the F150 the part that slides open is only big enough to fit maybe your head.

For the mercedes c230 I have the c230k . It had the same problem. It was due to a faulty combination switch on the steering column. Was about an hours worth of work and not hard to swap . You will need a long necked t27 to go through the back side of the steering wheel to lose the air bag . Remove airbag and he bolt holding the steering wheel on . Be sure to use the right size . I don't recall it off my head after that you will need a Phillips screw driver . You will remove the clock spring housing. Be sure to note it's position and handle delicately or it will separate and the spring inside will become unsprung... good luck getting it back together if that happens. Once you remove the clock spring housing you will gain access to the combination switch and be able to remove it from the bracket it's mounted too with the cruise control lever. Replace with a new combination switch I think mine was around 100 bucks . Be sure to note weather you have regular wipers or the rain sensing kind as they are not the same switch. Assemble in reverse order and remember the clock spring housing has to go on exactly as it came off . There are marks indicating where the arrows should line up. Just a tip have a friend help you when removing the hex bolt holding the steering wheel on . It really helps to have someone to hold the wheel as the her bolt is usually very tight . You will also likely want a cheater pipe to give you good leverage. No steering wheel puller is needed.

WHOA,Scotty! I LOVE little cars but I can’t let you slide on this one! When you went up to TN you rented a little red Chevy Spark, and raved about it! You liked the fact that it handled well, was zippy around town, and it was a lot of bang for the buck. It wasn’t stripped down and since they replaced the timing belt with a timing chain, you seemed to thoroughly enjoy the car. Now, today, you called the cute, gas-sipping Chevy Spark a “rolling pile of junk”??? What gives? I thought with the impending gas shortage, you’d actually LIKE a gas miser that gets almost 40 miles per gallon! (at least for the first 150k miles!). Have you forgotten what you said only 2 years ago????

2021 is the first year Ford is introducing cylinder deactivation on the 5.0 V8. Hope it doesn’t ruin such a good engine.

VWs here in the UK have it and it works pretty flawlessly. The cylinders cut right back in when you floor it. Saves about 10% on fuel.

Ford has been using the turbo'd EcoBoost 3.5 motor since 2011. If they didn't hold up or had turbo failures all the time at 100K either Ford would have long ago lost the lead in sales, or they'd have dumped the engine. I just used my 2019 3.5 to pull sizeable trailers for 5000 out of the last 8000 miles and the oil never even budged from the full mark. Wasn't sure about buying that engine at first but I'm really pleased with it.

[@reallife2849]

My 2019 F-150 2.7 eco has 70 thousand on it , so far no issues we will see if I can get 300 thousand out of it , like my other F-150 s , heard the have a rubber timing belt in the motor dipping into the oil pan IDK

@fosterpainter I specifically wanted the floor shifter and my 2019 Ford F-150 XLT Sport has it. I find it very convenient to manually adjust the gear range or the shift mode. It is also convenient when I want to put it in neutral from drive so I make sure I won't accidentally go into the car in front of me if I slip off the brake. Good place to rest the right hand too. PS. I drove a manual Dakota for 17 years prior to this truck.
