That sucks. I took a dollar pay cut years ago so I wouldn't have to do that. No way I could just watch screens all day.

Yeah I think i gained like 40-50 pounds when I was there. The sad thing is I was there 3 years and 15 months of that was in Iraq. I was a fatty!!

Yet you're on the TMS screen all day and all night.




That's why I loved my route job as a coffeeman. Staring through the windshield all day through some beautiful mountains in every season. Now that's a "screen"!

Is that the 4.6? I was looking last night at 2008 F150's and thought the 4.6 would be same as my Bullitt. But several sites said the F150 came with a 2V. The only way to get a 3V was to bump up to the 5.4. Is that correct?

No mines the older 5.4L 32v.

im not sure about 4.6L in f150, but i know they went to the 3v 5.4L in f150s in 05. I would have thought the 4.6 changed as well.

Nice! Bet that torque pushes you back some. No wonder its tough to get 14 - can't keep your foot out of it. lol What year?

Me too. Doesn't make sense to me cause the 3V was a step up.

EDIT Maybe the 3V only helps breathing at higher rpm but since the F150 is cammed for lower end torque, there's no reason for a 3V. Al?

Its a 2000.. yeah its got plenty of power for its size.. like 5740 curb weight. We got the 4wd version, a friend has the same in 2wd and his gets around 17. Its not mustang type torque feel but for a pig its decent. its smooth riding and driving though, which is what i love about it. I gotta look at the air suspension though, I think the rear air bags may be leaking a tad cause the compressor comes on everytime you start it even if you shut it off for just a few seconds.

lol Well I can tell you, as hectic as it was just prepping for it (live?/die?), I needed a week off!! With maid service and stuff.

(Course I could have done without that first day in recovery for sure! )
