  1. Water puddle from exhaust

    Yes, I know. Water is a biproduct of combustion. However I have never had a vehicle that leaked water from anywhere other than the exhaust pipe outlet itself. My 2024 leaves a big old puddle if I idle the car more than 1 min in my driveway. Coming from 2 or 3 different spots along the exhaust...

  2. 3.31 vs 3.73 Highway MPG Difference

    Curious what the delta in highway MPG would be between the 3.31 and 3.73 gears in the gen 14 5.0 trucks. The window sticker is the same for both of them (24 highway), but I imagine testing is only done with one axle ratio. "Get A PRius IF you CAre ABout MPG!" ..........I know. I am more...

  3. Pedal Monster is a savior

    I love the 5.0 engine. What I don't like is the throttle mapping Ford programmed. Mushy pedal, slow to respond, screaming RPM when you finally floor it, etc. Sport mode helped, but it kept RPM's high too long. Just got a Banks Pedal Monster and wow, difference is night and day. The truck feels...

  4. 10-Speed Trans Break-in Period?

    Hey all, Just bought a 5.0 STX a month ago. After I drove it home (about 50 miles away from dealer), I noticed the shifting was garbage, something I did not pick up on during my 10 min test drive. I soon noticed it was pretty bad to drive all around, shudder during acceleration, harsh up/down...

  5. Sport Mode, the normal mode of the old days

    Just got a new F-150 5.0 I dig it but man, the normal mode of the trans sucks. Constantly lugging, numb throttle (until you stab it) and harsh shifting when you drop a gear and RPM's raise. Sport mode seems to address all of those issues. Even if you want to drive conservatively sport mode is...

  6. Aftermarket regearing? 3.31 to 3.73

    Hello all, Got a steal on an F-150 5.0 STX 4x4. I love it. It came with 3.31 gears. I am wondering if it's possibe to upgrade to 3.73 and not totally void my powerteain waranty. Will an authorized Ford shop do the work? Also, does the ecm need flashed to accommodate this? Not sure I'll go...

  7. 5.0 revs for daily driving

    Hey all, Considering an STX. I got a choice between the 5.0 and 2.7. I've driven both for work trucks but its been a couple of years. Leaning towards the Coyote though. I do keep hearing that it needs a lot of revs to get going. Out of curiosity, for around town conservative driving, what RPM'...
