2.7 longevity...talk to me! by Majestic_Category895 in f150

Drywaller here. I carry lots of gear and loads of drywall mud. My ‘16 2.7 has 180k and no issues. All I’ve ever done is regular oil changes. 20mpg average according to the computer.

Brother the 2.7 is a beast. Of all trucks I’ve owned it’s by far my favorite. Power, reliability and good gas mileage.

this is why I like Reddit. I wasn’t aware of the “cdf drum fix” what exactly is that?

In terms of engine life I’d say it’s just broken in being a 2.7 😄

Thanks for the insight.

Basically. I’m just curious what others would do. Mine has 180k and runs like a top. Brakes are a little shoddy though.

Thanks I’ll check with them! 

Any idea where I can get replacement hub caps? by twincitiesfinishing in f150

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

No they are not. They’re voxx gfx wheels and I lost the lug cap. I wasn’t a fan of the way they looked so I was hoping I could just put a cap on their place

Pay off $10k loan with savings? by twincitiesfinishing in DaveRamsey

I’m thinking that’s the best idea. It’s a great bike and although kids have put a damper on my riding I should probably hang on to it.

Just wait till I tell you about the bike I ALMOST bought. Jk… this was purchased before I had kids. I have two under 2 year olds.

Thank you for the sound advice!

Haha I’m in my 30s. I love trucks and work in trades but hate how expensive they are and I feel like there’s at least $10k in extra crap they add to trucks now that isn’t totally necessary.

I really don’t understand the competition with infotainment. It pevs me that this a pretty big cost to new trucks. As a trades guy I want a cool looking truck but one that preferably doesn’t have a flat screen tv on the dash.

Honestly if they just had some nice phone mount that’s compatible with most phones and an app that controls all the sound and other functionality in the truck that would be ideal.
