10K Mile Update...
Howdy...
Its an '05 F150 SuperCrew with a 4.6L V8, 4R70W, 3.73LS Rear
Just wanted to say a few things about the truck now that I've hit 10,000 miles...
It's been pretty good so far, I've had the EGR Valve replaced twice, due to fluttering, The headliner rattled a little, but I fixed that by punching it up, apparently whoever put it in didn't secure one of the locks by the console, but no major problems so far...
Driveability: It drives the same as the day it came off of the lot, and it has a lot more power now than it did when I bought it...I run 93 octane gas (Helps with the Spark Knock, not curable by cleaning the MAF), and the truck runs really really good with it...
As for the tires, when I get the extra money, I plan on replacing them with BFG ATs or Cooper STs, Ford really skimped on this, the Continental/General Tires just don't seem to hold up that well, they are getting pretty low treadwise...
