What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[bpd1151]

I guess with the Performance package being such a pita to have the PTU Fluid changed it sometimes helps to take any preventative measures you can in order to safeguard it. Z

Amen to that brother.

Ordered my 1st map update today.

Oughta be worthwhile as the version I have now, is based off of 2009 data, & original to the car when it was delivered new.

No more driving over waterways, or fields where expressways and/or changes now currently exist. Lol.

Are you going to give the "original" map a place in the display for car shows?  It IS a part of history!

The dealer installed me a high performance backup camera covered under warranty and quite honestly was amazed at the overall difference in screen clarity with the new camera,guess over the past couple of years the screen quality slowly started degrading and was basically looking at a cloudy screen when backing up,think the best solution is not to use any harsh chemicals or paper towels which ultimately can scratch the lens portion of the camera,think the best option will be using a soft microfiber cloth along with a can of pledge which is not to harsh and does not contain potent chemicals,before and after pics below along with the part #,hope this helps many members out,thanks.  Z

I purchased my PP SHO Brand new on 8/13 with 2 miles on the OD and put roughly a little over 35k on her,while at the dealer today something caught my eye and unfortunetely it was not a Ford and basically needed a winter vehicle for the time being to give the SHO some rest it rightfully deserves,truly liked the color and left a deposit for the time being,negotiated with my friendly Ford dealer and came up with a descent price of 20,500 with 51k on her,any thoughts,thanks.  Z         MANU Apologize if its posted in the wrong section,thanks.  Z [EDIT] [EDIT]     [EDIT] Thank you

As much as I love my SHO, it isn't special enough to spend 20 grand for a separate vehicle. Not to mention how awesome the SHO is in the snow. Regardless of what you do, the SHO is a depreciating asset. Buying another depreciating asset isn't going to change that fact or slow it down enough for that math to work out anywhere near your favor. Money would be better spent going in the kids college fund, your retirement fund, or down payment on your next gen SHO....IMHO.

Honestly did not expect a comment like that especially coming from you FoMoCo,thanks and Merry Christmas to you.  Z

I guess i'm the ***hole that tries to post pics and share any insight and thoughts i can to try and help each member out,at the end its all a bunch of crap,any details on the ecoboost platform will be best to keep to my self,i'm done here and thank you so much.  Z

[SHOdded]

Nice looking 2nd ride choice, Z.  Real nice color!  As long as you get an extended warranty with it, should be good 2 go (IDK what the mfr warranties are these days on FCA vehicles).  I'm sure you already looked through the Carfax/Autocheck.

FoMoCo's just talking the practical stuff, and car nuts ALWAYS hate that LOL.  For me, I have always treated my rides like all-purpose, all-weather machines, and I have loved 'em all!  The key is keeping up with the extra maintenance that comes due with all that stuff, that can be a BEAR!  Anyways, didn't you just have the SHO super-detailed for the winter?  I'd want to stow it away after that as well ...  Hate the salt-filled slush!!!

[bpd1151]

I'd make sure that all the necessary TSB's & recalls were performed.

I've heard nothing but complaints from Jeep owners about varying issues, & I just saw yet another news report about even yet another recall today.

Tread cautiously.

I appreciate all your inputs on the matter,definitely agree the SHO is great in the snow but only to a certain degree,unless you want to use the front spoiler as a plow,many times i'v put my car on ramps and could never avoid scraping the front lip,guess back to the dealer i go to get my refund,have 24 hrs,thanks.  Z

I don't mind the snow as much as I HATE the salt that comes  with it. But I tell you though, it is nice to have a secondary option. Although, with the winter tires I love the SHO and the way it performs, I refer to it as a tractor 🚜... And to be honest, the winter here in Midwest treated us good this far, it seems like it will keep doing so throughout the December.

Z- ***hole is not a word I would ever associate with you. Those things you talk about above are the very reasons that I would hate for you to make an expensive mistake.

I'm sorry if I came off as the ***hole...it was not my intention, and SHOdded was correct, that's just my practical side and meant no offense. I wasn't trying to bust your balls and I would've given the same advice to my kids or best friend.

Mother nature has been extremely uncooperative.

I've gotten no chance to try out my winter combo.

I have no doubt that had I tried to continue with the F1's a shitstorm of epic proportion would have ensued, lol....
