[5.0Flareside]

It's FAST!!!!

 

[aussie_f350]

[5.0Flareside]

Once in a while.. It'll be fine.. The guy who put it together has put together hundred or so and never had an issue doing it this way

 

[Beach66Bum]

excellent!!!!! I bet it's fast, short box regular cab's are great sport trucks!

That has always been a debate, run it easy to break it in, or run it how it will be run for the rest of it's service life... It is no different than a new car in that respect...

 

[Dirky]

Nice!

As far as break-in concerned, I believe in putting a proper load on the engine.. Moderate acceleration from stop signs, etc... No more 3500ish RPM. Be more concerned about ring seal at this point.

Everytime I drive it it impresses me more and more...

[5.0Flareside]

May be doing a video today.. It's just so cold!!!

 

[nobodyspecial]

How cold can it really be there?

It's -5 right now, and that isn't even taking into consideration the 15 mph winds.

Put on a jacket and get us a video, Nancy.

 

[5.0Flareside]

I don't have heat right now that's my main issue.. Lol..

It's like 25...

 

[smokey]

25 that's what it is here also and I was out shoveling snow in a t-shirt.
25 is t-shirt and short pants weather here.
Suck it up and get a video!

 

[5.0Flareside]

Well it ain't down here!!!

 

[nobodyspecial]

We can go for weeks, even months without seeing 25 on a thermometer. You get no sympathy from me.
