i have no issues with turbos, they can be fun. i have an issue with fanbois claiming the ecgayboost is the greatest thing ever when for the most part it is a piece of historical junk.
it's ecgayboost. you're doing it wrong.
the 3.5 is still 40 hp behind the 6.2 which has no turbos. i'm not really sure you know how boost affects engines. were talking about fords latest and greatest engine still falling behind an engine design that came out in 1997. you think that gm doesn't have alot on the table? ford is just catching up to 1997!
ford certainly did take money. they took nearly 6 billion from the DOE and asked for a line of credit, as well as some monies from CPFF.
gm saved thousands apon thousands of jobs, and all ford did was come out with a truck for soccer moms.

1. How do you know what the resale value of these trucks will be? Crystal Ball?
2.Again, How do you know it WILL be a piece of junk? Crystal ball again?
3. Getting 40hp more with twice the cubes is nothing to brag about. and, No, After 30+ years of driving semi's, I don't have a clue how a turbo affects an engine.
4. Wrong, GM didn't save ANY jobs. THE TAX PAYER DID. GM shipped even MORE jobs to Mexico and China.
What are the soccer moms suposed to drive? Pile the team in an electric turd(volt)?
