Changed all eight plugs from those damn auto lights to motor crafts and doesn't miss a beat, those auto lights are junk!!!!!!! Had two burn the electrode out completely and two of them had the ceramic or porcelain part surrounding the electrode come loose and cover the electrode causing it to short out the spark....funniest part was the guy at the local napa tried selling me autolites again and looked at me funny when I said I ain't putting those junk f**kers in my truck, tried explaining to him what the plugs where doin and he said it was my truck, I said have a nice day and walked out

Although Lee Reece on here said he's had good luck with the e3 plugs so far, I'm definitely sticking with Motorcraft plugs when I change mine in the winter. These Triton motors are really picky.

For some reason, Ford engines are VERY picky to Motorcrafts! There is no reason to spend extra money on E3s or anything else fancy. Stick to what works. I've had Bosch and NGKs in my truck for a brief time. I got misfires like a SOB. Since then I've stuck with Motorcraft SP-504 Platinum and I can get about 80,000 miles out of a set.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I'm choosing Motorcraft for mine. Lol.

Nah. Prob not. Same motor. Just punched a hair more and a little bit bigger blower. I'd love to get a 14 if somebody wants to buy my 10' for 40 k. I'm down. 14 is the last year for Shelby. The contract is up. But I would still keep motorcraft in it. I just don't use motorcraft oil in er. I use redline. Expensive. But awesom

Yup sad to say but it's true. I'm thinkin svt will take a year off again. Ill find out sooner er later. More like later but still. Me Shelby's legacy is what it is. They did that man justice Very honorable. I'm very proud to own one. But all good things come to an end ya know. They b something else.

The terminator was the ish man. I had an 03. I LOVED that car I'm sure it will b another cobra. How they do it. Dunno. I think they will have an option. Turbo or supercharger. Ill do both lol. But. There will b somethin special about it fer sure. Ford is very "in house" happy right now. And quite frankly there killin the market with all of there in house work. Bank on bad ass fast that's fer sure

But IMO great for Carroll Shelby to go out on a high note. It still a rush to get in the car and see his name. But all good things come to an end

Puttin this on the top of my rear window. Only sticker on the car.

Twin turbo cars r in the future. Ford has several V8 Eco boost trucks with alot of milage on them. I've seen it. Only a matter of time till it rolls out. 15 is big for Ford. New 150 new mustang. And in the shadows. A new motor. The future for fords back bone and right foot is gonna b kick ass boys. You'll see

I don't doubt it. If only I was older and richer so I could cash in on some of it lmao. I'm waiting to see if they bring out anything to replace the Ranger since they cut it. Best selling small size truck, didn't seem like a great business move to cut it unless you have something better coming.

Nope. There out if that game. They don't have any plans of bringing it back. They fooled around with bringing it back as the f 100 but it's a dying breed. They make 5 times more on the f series and super duty line. Ranger is a thing of the past

Alright, but an updated F-100 would've been cool

Sounds like a plan lol. Plenty of Ford dealerships here in SoCal too. I know there's a Saleen shop somewhere around here, probably a Shelby and a Roush one too.
