It’s got 288k on it. I know I’m an idiot but hey I’m thrilled with the thing. One owner and it looks brand new. The guy drove from Pa To Charlotte constantly. Was a steel worker. It’s staying stock. Looks great as is. And no mods means no money.
"OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?

Lol staying stock :roflmao: come on you know those things can break into the 12s pretty easy with a tune intekeband exhaust?
Lol and then go BOOM!
That's asking a lot from a little motor 2.7 or the 3.5
They have those things wound pretty tight already :thumb:
First cold snap in Florida and I've got one dead battery
They are fun trucks. I had a 15 3.5 ecoboost. With a 93 octane custom tune it was scary fast. I loved mine, I just pull a gooseneck pretty regular and it didn't have the weight or the brakes to feel safe when loaded. Nice thing is even if you do grenade it a motorcraft crate engine isn't crazy expensive. Less than $4k if I remember right, been a while since I looked.

Thanks guys! I really like it. And yeah it’s a dang ford but out of the three half ton options I have to say it’s the one I like the most. Not a dodge fan and the Chevy and gmc same year just look plain to me. Yeah it’s staying stock lol it runs decent as it is and with the miles I’m not pushing my luck. That’s the whole reason I got it. Something I won’t be tempted to mod as I start a family. Pretty sweet Deal. Got it for 16,500 out the door. Nada was 22k even with the miles. Gave me a pretty great trade on my duramax as is. And enough equity that I got enough to pay everything off and have one payment
Lol google it there’s tons of those f150s in the 12s with a tune. I can’t lesve anything stock, I’d have a tune for it already :roflmao:
Sounds like you made out well, then. Now to buy crib, stroller, car seats, etc etc etc.....
I’m really surprised I haven’t got more hate for this lol I’ve looked and looked and looked on these motors and they seem extremely reliable.. so I’m happy with it. And I don’t wanna push a high mileage motor too far over stock lol
I have a wife and she is ok with the truck now. After I got the new turbo done she goes ok let’s go for a drive I’m driving :woott: crazy woman was out going wide open in a tunnel lol.
I know the early ones had a timing chain issue and something with the turbos. My brother in laws brother had one and had gotten 2 new turbos and timing chain done before his warranty was up at 60k. The thing ripped though, it would beat my truck every time on a 150hp stock trans tune. After I had built trans though I’d walk him. He only had a sct canned tuner nothing custom
I’ve read that a time or two. Something about the timing chains stretching. At 288k tho I’d assume if it was gonna go wrong it woulda already. I was thinking about starting a thread about it in the gasser section and keeping it updated with mileage and stuff. Anyone interested?
Did new rotors, pads, caliper brackets and caliper bolts/slides. Also did a new cv axle on passenger side as it had a torn boot for a good year or so. Also got a fass fuel heater and installed that.
