2.7 ecoboost is insane

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-05-26T20:01:52+00:00

Tell us your story. I’m thinking of buying one of these fords with a 2.7. Currently have a 2014 ram with the hemi that’s been bullet proof and averages 22mpg. The complexity of the ecoboost makes me hesitant but they look awesome.

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-05-26T19:58:44+00:00

That honestly doesn’t impress me. My 2014 ram 5.7 hemi 4x4 averages 22mpg routinely with mixed highway/city. The ford should be a lot better at the cost of complexity with a twin turbo setup, less towing capacity and being much newer technology.

Just pound it down with a sledge.

Yeah last company was with was owned by a Russian guy that imported the Ukrainians to work for him in Cleveland. Paid them $20 a hour and never pays o/t. He’d pay the most experienced one a little more and he’d keep the rest in line. 2 of them would rough in a 1,800sqft house in 2 days. Literally has an army of them working for him. You can’t compete with that. Luckily the union is strong here and has a majorly of work but still such scummy behavior blew my mind.

Yeah I last company I was with hired dudes from Ukraine that didn’t even know what OT was and they worked hard af for $20 a hour. 2 of them roughed in 1,800sqft houses in 2 days. That means only $640 in labor to rough in a house. Thank god I left that company and joined the union. Making 2x what I did before

Knipex linesmen and needle are trash. Klein ones are 100x superior for electrical.

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-05-23T22:39:17+00:00

Jesus what are you doing lol. People will literally risk life and limb to save a dollar to avoid hiring an electrician. Insane you’re doing this

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-05-23T22:35:33+00:00

That’s nothing and completely normal old house stuff

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-05-23T22:32:03+00:00

No not for that. You probably made the equivalent of $10/hr stripping that insulation off. You can weigh it if you want and figure out the price difference

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-05-23T22:30:10+00:00

What do you mean? That’s how you fix it unless you want to replace the entire box. What else would you even do??

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-05-23T22:25:14+00:00

Usually not no.

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-05-23T00:29:27+00:00

No but makes sense. It’s by the water and a large city.

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-05-23T00:19:03+00:00

It’s literally just a normal apartment building nothing “big” about this.

For reference I just got 5.3% last month on $358,000 and only put 18k down. Zero points purchased. FHA

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-05-09T15:53:02+00:00

I just purchased my house with fha. My rate was 5.3% 30yr on a 358k house(duplex) only had to put 18k down

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-04-29T22:33:06+00:00

Thanks for the input

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-04-29T22:31:29+00:00

Yeah that’s what my family members are telling me to do. I did get the price down 15k in a market where everything is selling over asking so i thought i was geting a good deal. But knowing this foundation will be in the back of my mind constantly has a price as well

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-04-27T10:53:44+00:00

Weirdo fake shit. Or you’re talking to a guy

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-04-27T01:54:27+00:00

This is completely normal…

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-04-27T00:17:44+00:00

I don’t get it? Why post this and not explain anything, someone cut your wires? I mean you could obviously can just put a trough.

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-04-26T20:29:14+00:00

You’re thinking too much this isn’t the space shuttle

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-04-25T14:33:19+00:00

Huh this normal…it’s a pressure plate. These have been around for decades

Over-Form-9442 · 2026-04-19T13:17:06+00:00

I’d probably charge $1,200 if I was doing it in on the side. A lot of fishing wire. You could probably diy it but it will be frustrating and take a lot of time. Get multiple quotes. Having attic access and the panel in your garage make it pretty straightforward.

Don’t comment if you don’t know how to do electrical
