Ha thats what I have as well.
In 6.0L land for us there are two kinds of people. Kids that bought them and ran the crap of them and get transmissions or old guys that idled them around the field and got injectors, egr valves/coolers.
The ecoboost with the ladder rack had a funny problem and I'll try to post a pic. It went through the assembly process and somehow before the manifold got bolted on the harness slipped over the exhaust stud and landed smack dab over the exhaust port. The manifold got bolted on over top and the truck made it 1300 miles before it came to us. It had a few random crank sensor codes but otherwise ran ok. We were blow away that anything was left at all for it to still get a signal.

Wow that is actually kind of scarey that it made it out the factory like that.
oh and my 7.3 with 130K that has a 8' utility body, full boxes of tools and a 1200 lb welder on it all the time, has only needed a water pump and glow plugs/relay since new. It's been our main plow truck since new also.
about 2005 we put f450 rated springs in it and it was so much better of a ride. it stopped, turned and rode 10x better.

PICS OF MY XR, FOLVO STUFF, AND...
Holy gasket technology Batman. How does that not have a loud ass exhaust leak?
My friend (also into turbo 2.3s) has one with exhaust and air filter box upgrade. All I can say is WALL OF TORQUE! His only bitch is no manual trans option.

The truck looks sharp as hell Cruz! Very nice. What do you ecoboost guys average for mileage and in what kind of driving?
