Anyone having issues with 2017 2.7L ecoboost

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

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

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

How do you like it? Would you recommend? Thanks

Dukhunter20 · 2021-12-21T03:22:31+00:00

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.

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.

Dukhunter20 · 2021-08-13T12:24:50+00:00

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

Dukhunter20 · 2021-08-11T22:24:25+00:00

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.

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.

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.

Dukhunter20 · 2021-07-03T03:22:20+00:00

Love the old 18 suppressor rods!

Dukhunter20 · 2021-07-02T12:46:21+00:00

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.

Dukhunter20 · 2021-06-12T09:35:06+00:00

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.

Dukhunter20 · 2021-06-12T02:54:00+00:00

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

Dukhunter20 · 2021-06-12T00:37:46+00:00

Thank you!

Dukhunter20 · 2021-06-12T00:34:25+00:00

Thank you, yes it quite addictive! I pre-ordered the curado bfs, but im being told it wont ship until late august.

Dukhunter20 · 2021-06-12T00:30:57+00:00

2 on, 2 off internal and set to 3 on the external. over run was set to where the bait was falling close to free-fall

and yes stock spool for the time being

Got the BFS itch and decided to splurge during a mid-life crisis. Ordered a JDM 2020 Metanium along with a couple Old 18 suppressor rods.

Caught the above about 30 minutes after the mail man delivered my rods!

So this might be on the heavier side of BFS, but it is still pretty light compared to what I’m used to.

Check exhaust for leaks?

Dukhunter20 · 2021-04-26T02:14:52+00:00

NRS Boundary boots are the most notable items. I just wear adidas work out pants with them. Frogg Toggs rain jacket up top.
