You should take that baby to the track and post up some 1/4 mile times..

LOL, I just got back from New York and the rental agency may or may not be having tranny troubles with the extended cab Ford I drove out there. Seems after an afternoon of power breaking every stop light I came to, it started to smoke the bands instead of the tires... It only had about 1200 miles on it too.

Sooooo, just so you 5.4 Ford guys know, your limit is about 50-60 back to back brake stands before the tranny starts to let go.

I rented a truck to pick up a motor cycle that was 500 miles away(wanted to save miles on mine), They gave me a FORD and it was the plainest truck with the most ugly, uncomfortable interior ive ever seen, But when i took it back they asked how it ran and i said"good for a v-6, they said it was a V-8"!!!!What a turd!!!

LOL, sorry, but not mine. The Lightning trannys are built with the same parts as the Diesel Powerstroke's. But nevertheless, great story on beating up the rental. I'm been guilty a few times.

The powerplant is okay, the damn things just weigh too much.

Yeah, I wish the rental was a Lightning, LOL! The best part was when the McDonalds manager came out to the drive through line and told me to stop messing up his parking lot with rubber stripes!!!
