Nice!:beer:
Around town, the EB seems to get better mileage, but you ask that 3.5 to work a little, and I've seen it get pretty bad mileage.
IMO, give me the old school V8 for work duty.
I wouldn't trade my 6.2 for anything. The sounds this thing makes are awesome! Besides. Ford is being pretty strict with any mods to the Eco as far as warranty goes. Milage wise I get 12 around town and 14-15 onthe highway. Keep in mind that's with 4.11's and 35 inch tires. Most 6.2's that aren't a raptor do better. Towing 6k I got 12.7 round trip. That was with some pretty big hill climbs as well. People ask me what is the best part about my raptor? While the suspension and looks are awesome. The motor is what I enjoy most on a day to day basis
IMO - Give me a 2500HD Duramax Diesel, its great on gas and hauls ass plus can pull 18K :banana::banana:

My thoughts exactly!
I rock a Duramax every day at work. Other than injectors, wheel bearings, blown head gaksets, and the transmission being retarded it's been a great truck lol. Oh and it gets 9-13 mpg depending on the load, 15mpg at best unloaded. :rolling:

Comparing a $60k truck to a $38,000 is not particularly accurate
Can't be any worse than the the long line of lemon diesel engines that Ford seems to roll with. We are already seeing issues with their new 6.7. Not sure how you get that bad of mileage.
Yes, I dropped the nuclear bomb. They all have their issues.
Agreed. I love diesels, I just hate all the issues. All of our gas trucks, including my personal truck, Just keep on going!

Hot damn that is a gorgeous truck, I just bought all the factory parts to convert my front end to look like yours :rockon::rockon:
You were not driving a GMC.:nonono: The truck runs flawless and I have not had one issue. Oh and I can run with the best of them on the highway did a few mods and the truck rolls out.:rockon::burnout::burnout:

This is going to make all of the EGOboost guys on the F150 forums cry.oke:
Both are going to respond well to intake and tune. Ford really has the drive by wire jacked up on the stock 6.2L tune. The throttle blade is only allowed to fully open at rpms over 4500. Tuners can fix this and make them A LOT more responsive.
