the new fords are great! (2012 platinum eco ) my normal mpg isn't what I was hoping for with 18 mpg highway but pulling my boat 28' powerquest I am getting 16 roundabout. an no problems what so ever

yep.. My wife has a 2011 5.4 w/ 300hp exp and my dads 2013 5.0 w/ 360hp was impressive.

Still have to take it easy until I get a tow vehicle.. My rearend went out on my 05 f150 screw FX4 so I would expect the same, though I had 35" tires that didn't help and I used to pull the crap out of my 25OL b/c it had extended warranty to 100k.

its a truck and they do these test in a controlled environment just like ratings on car tires

he is doing good at 16!! we were getting 9.5-10. pulling the 33ol! But that was also up and down all the way till we got to Mobile..

Upgraded Radio to Pioneer headunit with bluetooth!! also charges my IOS unit thru a USB connection!!

But, some yahoo tied the contant into the breaker for the radio, so I will have to run a constant straight to the battery so I am not trying to reconfigure all the settings each time I turn the perko to house battery off.

I may just jump off one of the amps power since they are close.. Shouldnt get any feed back thru that???

My boat does not have a constant either. Pisses me off having to re set up my raido every time I get on the boat. There is one thing thats HOT all the time no matter what, the exlectic bolsters. NO IDEA why baja did that but they are. so I was going to tag the hot lead from the passenger seat, and run a wire over tot he readio. with a switch in it. so when winter comes i can kill the radios constant, but for all of summer it will save settings.

Would be best to jump off the power and ground block of the amps. No feed back ground loops that way.

nailit

Thanks.. I did jump the constant off the amp.. I didn't have any feedback on radio when I ran it with old radio so I "shouldn't" have any after rerouting the constant.

Can't wait to see how it sounds on the water with it the settings correct!!
