No worries Redford, I've already implemented a fix that is growing in popularity around this place...

 

When I read this it says this:

I have no one on that list what is going on? Help

 

Thats just what he sees when rrrskinner posts. Nothing wrong with your feed!

 

In a previous post I pointed out a magazine article where Ford question CR reports on their test data and made reference to a JD Powers article that was in complete contrast to CR. As is normally the case with you, you choose to ignore that information because it didn't fit your line of thinking. FYI, I think CR is a good source of information. I question testing results on every thing I read probably because I have a Masters Degree in Science & in undergraduate I did a lot of course work in statistics.

I love my EcoBoost and I think it would make an excellent power plant for an F250. I like the sound of my engine, I like the sound of the turbo's and I love the pulling power. It is better than any V8 I've ever towed with period. Ford sells millions of these engines because people like them. On my next truck my only engine choice will be which EcoBoost do I want.

 

I do not think that either is a good idea. If you look at what the SD's are meant to do, neither engine is suited to that. The 5.0 mebe more so. The problem i often find with downsized engines, turbo or not, is that their real world power delivery is not as good as the bigger engines. Increasing the gears may help with this though. Also i honestly dont see the 3.5 Ecoboost living as long as a big V8 in Supoerduty application. A smaller diesel option mebe? But the RD would again push prices up north of what it should be. I think bore the 6.2 out for better useable tq and live with the MPG which shouldnt be much worse i suspect.

 

Watch what you say there...they will "fix" you too.

 

But the 3.5 rocks the pants off the 5.0 and 6.2! In real world driving conditions!
Everyone is just used to be NA engines, that doesn't mean you can't engineer a smaller displacement turbo engine to be more reliable. Just takes better alloys, cooling, engineering, thats all.

 

If they are going to put a six cylinder engine in the Super Duty Truck Series, I would say the Ford Motor Company need to bring back the Ford Straight-6 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
That's just my opinion

 

Yes it may "rock the pants" off doing halfton work, but how will she do over its life hauling 12lbs plus & hauling 5000lbs. I will stick to my old school guns till that has been proven :-)

 

Oh dear ... Nah i beleive as a fan/enthusiast everybody shud be allowed an opinion abt what they think is best.. in the end Ford will use what best suits their plans and vision.

 

An updated more powerfull version with similar charetaristics re good tq low down yes please!

 

Lol...you been blowing too much of the ecoboost exhaust...lol

 

Out performs other 400 hp v8's by a good margin pulling trailers.
Would it die fast in an f350 compared to an f150? Hard to say, nobody knows since they don't make that yet!
Nothing says it wouldn't work!

 

People hating on the ecoboost are like guys teasing and making fun of a girl just because they don't have a single chance of getting a piece.



Nobody wants to get beat by a 3.5 v6 when you have a cummins or 7.3 diesel truck, but it keeps happening lol.
The ecoboost is an absolute marvel of modern mechanical engineering.
Is there any other truck with such good power band, towing capability, price?

 

That's what Ford is saying. So adding direct injection....ummm....used since the 70's or earlier and turbo charging....as old and adding a water to cool the turbos....not exactly a marvel in my book. Yep, it is the exhaust

What do you do for a living?
