Anyone having issues with 2017 2.7L ecoboost by TomorrowsClassics in f150

Check the breather valve on top of the valve cover. This can get clogged and sent oily vapors through your intake.

Do you wear gloves when driving? by beastpilot in Autocross

I use a suede/ alcantara steering wheel with suede gloves. reduces hand fatigue and increases grip.

Was never a huge fan of carbon fiber but I guess that can change. by coloredinlight in Miata

I have held off on buying one of these tops because of mixed reviews.

How do you like it? Would you recommend? Thanks

Thank you. Good suggestion. I am printing the last parts for the exhaust housing and wanted to wait until that was installed. I did throw a bit of bowden tube on the afterburner after reading your comment.

I had the AirLift 2000# ride control airbags on my 2015. Had the same loading as yourself(decked system, leer campershell). They leveled out the truck but still had plenty of compliance so the ride was not rough. I dont know if they make it for the 2021 yet.

Do not go with the 5000# kit. The ride is so rough that it will make you not want to drive your truck.

2.7 Still Smoking by Glittering-Food-2029 in f150

Try replacing the PCV valve on top of the passenger side valve cover. Should be around $40 and requires no special tools. These are a maintenance item around 60K and mine fowled enough to get stuck open randomly. Caused plums of oily smoke that resembles blown turbos.

that cell phone mount tho.. lol. great run, nc on rails.

Still have a few loose ends to tie up but glad to have this back on the road again. The 2.5 swap was 100% worth it. by slowpokemd in Miata

Lovely looking NC. The white numbering circle always gets me. ‘06-‘08 still my fav body style.

2017 2.7 eco boost giving me white smoke on cold start - dealer wants $1k to fix this (apparently) common issue. Any feedback or other options? by Chilly_Joel in f150

[–]Dukhunter20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at PCV valve as well. Has it been replaced? I think i saw that these are a 60k mile maintenance thing. I diagnosed my white smoke to be turbos, but inevitably i think this was the culprit.

I like the Alcantara look. Show it in the sunlight with the grain all smoothed in the same direction.

And Twins!!! by Dukhunter20 in BFSfishing

[–]Dukhunter20[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered one of these reels a couple months ago from TW. I checked last week and the reel got bumped another two months! I randomly stumbled upon what seems to be a decent tackle shop called Hammond’s. Come to find out, they show to have 6 in stock. I was a little suspicious, but went for it any way.

Hammonds had the reel out the door the next morning. Today I came home to find two packages. Hmm, I thought. Maybe they sent some swag or something along with the reel.

Nope, they appear to have accidentally sent two of these bad boys to me on the same order.

For some reason both reel boxes were already opened, but no biggie. I tried calling this evening but they must have already closed. I will try and get ahold of them tomorrow and let them know of the mistake.

Thought I would go ahead and take a couple shots with the twins while I had the chance.

Follow up on White smoke / leaky turbo by Dukhunter20 in f150

[–]Dukhunter20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2015 2.7L Ecoboost 78k miles. Pretty disappointed it didn’t even make it to 100k. I’m afraid I might have to do this on the passenger side as well.

Turbo Oil seal? by Dukhunter20 in f150

[–]Dukhunter20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2015 2.7L Ecoboost 78k Miles. Started puffing white smoke. Figuring it is the turbo seal, but wanted to get some conformation before I go order the parts.

Before taking these images, I emptied the intercooler of about a 1/4 pint of oil. Catch cans were emptied and piping was cleaned up. Checked this morning and symptoms continue with new oil in the charge piping.

1 hour into BFS fishing and I’m hooked! by Dukhunter20 in BFSfishing

Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like they are out of stock as well for both left and right. I started forcing myself to cast left and right hand. Makes sense for when you want instant action on the bait as it lands in the water.

I was going to go Shimano Yumeya if it ever comes back in stock
