on a limited scale I believe......met Jr. and his wife in Sturgis a few years back before they were married...her engagement ring diamond was the size of one of my testicles...she was gracious..him...kinda arrogant...
Yea, they've always had big egos. Just a sign of low self esteem.

Been saying it for a while now. All of these four popper turbos are crap. I dont care what manufacturer either. Everyone loves em because theyre good on fuel and have decent pwr. Sure when theyre new. And now not even that. Talk to us when they have some miles on them. Oh wait, Ecoboost has been out for 8 or 9 yrs now. Yep, crap.

May as well get all your strikes in at once.
Don't underestimate CC, he's a smart guy. Any time you look, it's never the same 3 he has parked at home. [twothumb]

I have 2 and for the record this is old news on the 2.7 motor. It’s a valve seat quality issue from the pandemic related issues.
Sure, blame it on the pandemic. My Bronco has Covid.

The thoughts are and yeh who the hell knows the valve seats were not of the best grade and or valves. The number 5 cylinder Valve drops and then it’s all over. There is a huge thread in the Bronco6g forum that started this conversation last year. Some owners not only had the original motor catapult but the second one as well😳. Yeh there are some unhappy campers but hope for the best or plan for the worst😂

I’ll drive them till they blow ain’t gonna change who I am. Daughter and I get them all cleaned up for the car meet tomorrow. Oh yeh for the record the number of Supercharger failures do to a bad China Bearing was pretty high in ration to the number of Hellcats sold. If I lived a life of fear I would be voting for Brandon shit head.

I just drove my Hot Pepper Red to Fl and back and actually towing more than your supposed to. 85-90mph like nothing and figured she blow after 2500 miles of hauling ass but she’s still ticking at 7K miles. Bought her in January and so far so good but every days a new day.

Does the manual say when ticking turns to knocking:unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure:
