There are multiple industry reports from November 2025 confirming that General Motors is developing a sixth generation small-block 5.7L V8 engine which is intended to replace the current 5.3L in light duty trucks. However, these details only stem from insider sources and not an official GM...

The V8 scores better in the EPA's smog rating, also know as the Air Pollution Score as shown on vehicle window sticker. The V6 scores worse on the smog rating because of higher levels of nitrogen oxides [NOx], hydrocarbons [HC], carbon monoxide [CO], and particulate matter [PM] which are the key...

GM has confirmed reports that they are developing a 5.7L V8 to replace the 5.3L V8 and they are developing a 6.6L variant for performance, both without AFM. I don't know if Ford can scale up the Coyote V8 to 5.8L but they can easily do 5.2L because they already make it for the top of the line...

I own both a 2024 SuperCab with 5.0 and 3.31 gears and a 2025 regular cab 2.7 with 3.55 gears. The 5.0 is arguably Fords most reliable truck engine of the bunch (F150) and with my truck its also surprisingly quick when you ask it to roar to life. I absolutely love that it revs to nearly 7k rpm...

LOL, I did some research and noted it below. No hard feelings on the reading comprehension jab 😘. let's just stick to the facts and see what the actual high mileage tear-downs show. Looking into some YouTube videos I found the following videos that show what these valves look like with high...

The Ford 2.7L and 3.5L EcoBoost engines with dual fuel injection (port + direct) fires almost all the time at light to moderate loads. The port injectors wash the valves constantly which results in almost no oil ever reaching the valves. Fords Ecoboost 2.7/3.5 and 5.0 Coyote (2018+) with dual...

Would you install a catch can on a port fuel injected engine?

Absolutely, it adds protection to the spray in bed liner, so it doesn’t look like crap and it makes cleanup easier

Appreciate your passion, but let's stick to facts. Doing a deep dive into your answers and here they are addressed as a quick debunk for each one: 🧐 1. Illegal immigrant': Elon was born in South Africa but immigrated legally to Canada (via his Canadian mom) at 17 in 1989, then to the US on a...

Think about that for a minute. The guy came to this country from Africa with nothing and became the richest man in the world. He has the most successful electric car company with technology 10 years ahead of every other electric car company making an electric car right now. He owns and...

Off topic I guess but then all of this affects our ability to afford a nice truck which is the American way. 😁

The automobile emits CO2 and plants need CO2 and sunlight to grow so you’re right! 😁
