  1. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2011/06/ford-announces-new-8-speed-transmission-split-cooling-system.html Here's some more reading, also some talk of a "split cooling" system.
  2. Depends on how many cam chains they go through. Of course that just replaces the intake gaskets replaced on the 3.5/3.9 every winter.
  3. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2011/06/may-2011-top-10-pickup-truck-sales.html Check out the comments. The Ram fanboys are gunning the Koolaid hard!
  4. Excuse the double post, sometimes Chrome sucks.

  7. How many Flex and MKT are on the ground to be sold? Can't sell vapor.
  8. Gee, the Dodge deal feel through in Feb of 2009. Way to stay up on current events. Stupid troll.
  9. FYI, Motorweek recorded a 0-60 of 7.6 in a Focus Titanium with the auto.
  10. Key word is "demonstration". Cummins has demonstrated both V8 and V6 diesels in the Ram but you don't see them being offered yet.
  11. Right now Popular Mechanics has last months articles on the website. You'll have to wait a few weeks or subscribe to view the current issue online.
  12. Similar year Silverado/Sierra's also have fuel tank straps that rust and fail, I've sold them. If they jump all over Ford they better get on GM's case also. Also, this has nothing to do with a 2011 F150 EB.
  13. June 2011 issue, bright orange cover on it. Santa Barbara to San Fransisco, mix of city, two lane roads and interstate. Jetta Diesel: 40.4 mpg on the PM test. Focus SFE: 38.6 ( Why would I want a Jetta?) Cruze Eco: 36.7 ( any hill would force a downshift to 3rd ) Fiat 500 34.6 ( I know, I don't know why it's with this bunch either) Hyundia Elantra 32.3 ( Uh, this is closer to the 29 city than the 40 mpg highway) Focus was also the quickest to 60mph at 8.02 seconds
  14. Ford sold more Raptors last month than Honda sold Ridgelines.
  15. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2011/05/fastlane-starts-tuning-ford-f-150-ecoboost-v-6.html High flow cats and exhaust. New turbo's in the future.

  17. You can post a small portion, not the whole article. How is clicking on a link "killing" you?
  18. Got this tweet this morning: "PickupTrucksPickupTrucks.com RT @mSirach: #F150Challenge 1,205.67 miles / 35.308 gallons total filled = 34.147 mpg. http://tinyurl.com/CleanMPGF150KiloTankfill2 "
  19. What you need to do is put everything you said here in a letter and send it to the General Manager of the dealership. Resist the urge to include curse words and snarkiness. Just spell out the fact and why you feel the situation sucks. I'd be interested if he answers you back. Had a salesman come back to parts yesterday. Wanted to know if the Weathertech floor mats that he ordered "a month or two ago" were there for an Equinox. Told him "you didn't order any. You asked price, we told you. We told you we needed to know if it had a post or hook retainer for the drivers mat. You replied that the unit wasn't here yet so you didn't know. You never got back to us so we ordered nothing" " But I need those mats today! I was going to take tomorrow off and I need to deliver the car!" "To bad, should have got back to us with the info we need." I had an internal smile every time I saw him at work today. Idiots been selling cars for 9 years, think he'd know the program by now. He's a selfish BS artist so it's good to see karma kick in once and a while.
  20. http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110502/OEM03/305029972/1261/product Got this tweet nine hours ago: "PickupTrucks PickupTrucks.com RT @Auto_Bird: In March, about 75% of Impalas went to fleets and rental-car companies, according to AutoNews"
  21. http://www.cleanmpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39063 Got this tweeted to me this morning: "Re: Ford Trucks – Fuel Economy Leadership from Engines to Alignment We took off this morning and it has been a battle so far. We stopped at 108 miles out for a pitstop. The results so far are not great, but it is only the beginning segment. I'm sure you have heard "you can't beat mother nature." Mother nature has impacted the drive so far with 20 to 30 mph headwinds. Wayne: 108.7 miles @ 26.3mpg! The gusting headwinds and an elevation climb from 375' to 2402' has been a hindrance. __________________ Read The CleanMPG Primer! "
  22. Got this tweet today: "PickupTrucks PickupTrucks.com Back in L.A. Drove Fastlane's EcoBoost project truck this morning. New cat back exhaust system they added picked up 30 hp at the rear wheels" Talk about pulling the cork out!
