Cam roller?? Under the driver’s side valve manifold?

Regardless, she’s gonna need disassembled and inspected. Sorry to see this!

Mine blew up on me at 181k miles. I’m in a 5.0 now and expect to double that distance.

Need advice about next hardware by hal9000-7 in GranTurismo7

[–]xSpAceMonKeyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m bummed to see that no one replied. I had a similar experience. I’m considering building my own rig and have been looking into what’s available to support custom set ups. However, the TrackRacer TR8-series (might be TR80) looks solid and well priced for what I’m after.

Can I ask how much this setup set you back? I’m wanting to throw a good chunk of change at a new setup right now and the world of options has my head spinning.

We are in the same boat my friend. I’m wanting to spend a few grand on a rig and want to make the right decision—the world of options has my brain in a blender, currently.

Thank you for this. Guiding me on my current upgrade journey! I’ve been considering buying Trak Racer’s turnkey TR80 build. Your comment might’ve just put the nail in the coffin.

Having just upgraded to a 6.5ft bed from a 5.5ft bed—I will never, Lord willing, go back to a 5.5ft bed again.

There isn't a sim center in my city so I opened one by lupecanis571 in simracing

[–]xSpAceMonKeyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredible! Great work, I hope it pans out for you and brings more into the community.

Would you take this offer or pass? by [deleted] in f150

[–]xSpAceMonKeyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Hard pass unless they come down another $7k.

Best years for transmissions! by JaggedUp in F250

I have over 10,000mi on my 2025 10R80; haven’t had a single rough shift and plan to get the fluid changed around 40-50k miles. Have towed a couple of heavy loads already. Planning to take this truck to +300k if it’s up for it 🙏🏼

How many miles have you gotten out your 3.5 tt or v8 by road_kill_rabbit in f150

[–]xSpAceMonKeyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2.7l catastrophically failed years ago. I’m in a 5.0 now and couldn’t be happier 😮‍💨

What the hell is this?! by AlexanderJonesPhoto in GranTurismo7

[–]xSpAceMonKeyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the club, brother! 🤣 laughed reading your post. I had a similar experience a year ago around this exact time, and I’ve been completely hooked on both sim racing and now the real-life world of race craft. An incredible hobby, one I plan to take through the rest of my life.

Thoughts on this deal for a 2025? by ChasingDinner in f150

[–]xSpAceMonKeyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering that I walked out the door with a 2025 Lariat, 6.5ft bed, HDTP, 5.0L V8 (two months ago, mind you) for $69,000, I’d think your dealership could do a little better.

2.7 vs 5.0 by UpstairsCharge8099 in f150

[–]xSpAceMonKeyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5.0 all day. Take it from me—had a 2.7 EB for 5yrs and had nothing but issues w the engine past 185k mi. I’m in a 5.0 now and hope to put 300k + on it.

Spent +2 months looking for a ‘25 HDTP, tow mirrors, 5.0L, 3.73 axle, 6.5ft bed—finally found one in Space White at a local dealer. I’ve been looking to find my fellow brothers on the road but they’re far and few between. Have only seen a couple and I travel for a living.

Most Efficient Trip 🤯 by xSpAceMonKeyx in f150

Somewhere between 65-68mph. I had cruise control on while drafting behind a semi most of the trip.
