Is this cool or what?
It been about a year and a half since we bought my wifes 2005 F150 from a local dealer. Last week my wife was leaving the mall and before she backed out of her parking space, a Ranger pulled up behind her. An older guy gets out of the Ranger and goes up to my wifes window and asks her if she bought the truck from such and such dealer, and my wife replied that we did. He than asks her if we live on such and such street. My wife at this point is getting a little suspicious and asks why he is asking. He told her that the truck was his and he traded it on his Ranger when gas prices began climbing. He has a Super Chips in it and still has the (controller?) that plugs into the OBD port to set tunes. He gave her his phone number and told her to have me call him. I called him when I woke up to go to work and we will meet one day this week so he can give me the programmer and shoot the breeze. I wondered about this truck being a problem truck just after I bought it and noticed the cover for the OBD port was missing. I guess I know why now. IAC, I come out of this with a new toy and possibly a new friend. Just thought I would share.

When I got the truck we traded in the Mustang and I have always wondered what happened to it. I never saw it again. Once I handed (reluctantly) the guy the keys it was like it disappeared.
I think one day I might pull up next to it at a light but so far no luck. Whats really crazy about it is I found a spare key to it not to long ago, that was kinda sad because that was an awesome car.

Not 2 months after I traded my 97 in on the 2005, I received a letter in the mail that it was impounded for illegal parking and I had to pay so much $$ to pick it up. I called them for grins and giggles but the new owner already picked it up.
I still see it in a neighboring town every so often. It is nice to see that it is still in good shape and running around everywhere.

I am not looking to put premium gas in this truck or any hardcore performance tune as it is the wifes DD. I was looking at the 87 octane tune. Can anyone tell me if it is okay to tow on this tune, or would I need to put it back to stock before towing? Thanks
