Blake,

FWIW,That Taurus wasn't stock it had a tune in it that's why the warranty would be voided.The Taurus SHO is a 13 second car from the factory.

Later Mark.

They said they had tweaked the timing and fuel on it. It was flying...............

i can tell you this , im been in this 2011 expedition and i love it , i can take it in the woods and do some really cool donuts ......... just wished it had some more power the 5.4 3v lacks a little in the 0-60 department ......Lem or any other ford guru do they offer that platform in a larger engine ?

just like Mark said i put more abuse on this truck going up the hills fully loaded then going down the track

just put a 150 shot of naaawwzz on it it will be mo' betta.................

What the Expedition needs is a smaller engine..........the 5.0 has more power than the 5.4 . I'm not sure why Ford has not offered it in the Expedition.

Why not put the EcoBoost in the expidition?

"D".. Keep this on the down low..

When I get the warranty call from the Dealer-ship Nick has his truck serviced at, I will make a point of it to "DENY" all warranty pay. He will pay for this himself!


FORD ENGINEER!

Now thats fuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Per the engineer sitting next to me "I don't give a carp what bruno is doing to that F-150 he can't break it, I'm just trying to figure out how to stuff the ECO BOOST into the 2013 Expidetion so I can run his azz at the track"

We build' em we race'em we break'em we fix'em!!!

thxs guys , just got a call from the dealership ....warranty has denied the claim , the reason why it took so long was that the engineer was stuck in the carolinas due to bad weather , dening other claims , they said they found globs of rubber under the wheel wells and that a mysterious caller had seen my truck on the dragstrip ..... this is bullshit
