What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2022]

[Wraith]

Building engine mounts to do a SBC in Mercury, these things are tight for space if they are factory frame so the 455 was set to the side.



Also received this into the fold two weeks ago

Clutch , was wondering how the truck has been treating you? I've followed along and feel a little vested into it

Hope it keeps getting a little better as you go! You deserve it!

Frigging sweet! Just took mine on a 1000+ mile round trip up to the tip of the Michigan mitten. Ran flawlessly and averaged 21.5 MPG with my foot a bit heavy on the pedal. My passenger daily's a GMT900 Sierra 1500 and couldn't believe how quiet and smooth it was compared to his truck.

Yeah visibility, comfort (knee/leg room) and sound level is a big win on these newer pick-ups. Nobody makes a full size sedan anymore, pickups are it.

I get a little harshness over roads that have a lot of bumps from the rear, but I have zero tools in the back and I don't know what shocks it has so I'm going to wait before I judge.

Smoother/quieter than my Rainier. On par with wife's fusion.

You do know these F150's are a gateway drug to chainsaws & lawn tractors.

You mean once you've got a truck that can reliably tow tractors and haul logs better than the ls-junk gm offers these days you're more likely to engage in the pursuits?

I guess I could see that.

Well, that's all they can haul so there's that.. 🤷‍♂️

My post was in regards to people thinking a half ton truck can do what diesel trucks do. Then again being that hard up about what exists out there in the world and getting in your feels skewers your logical thoughts.

Older non AFM LS Engines are working fine. Sounds like you might need to write GM corporate if you have a complaint, or do what some do and swap it out.
