Good evening folks. I am finally an owner of an Ecoboost!

I just purchased the following earlier today - 2011 Lincoln MKS

This is the 37th car I have purchased throughout my years (the list is long..haha)...and I absolutely love it. I have always done my own work (recently helped a friend put a new 5.4 in his F150), and look forward to doing some work to the new toy!

Anyhow, my name is Will, and I am Systems Engineer. I own close to 40 acres in the beautiful state of CO (but Texas is still home), and it is nice having another car I can toy with again. My F250 PSD was getting boring, but having both is a great compromise, hahaha.

I have already read 50-60 threads covering multiple topics tonight and there is a great group of folks here with a lot of knowledge. I already want to thank each of you, and I look forward to learning more.

All that said, it is time to get back to my music, drink, and more reading! lol...

Take care folks.

Welcome to EBPF, Will, congrats on the new ride, and glad to have you in the community!  Time to post pics of both the MKS and the F250, if you please :)  37 is making my head spin LOL.  I think I have owned maybe 5 cars so far, 2 of which I still have :P

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I am out East of DIA in the middle of nowhere. lol. I like my guns, so it was a must to move out here and have my own private shooting range. HE HE HE

I agree, the knowledge here is eerily similar to the Mustang boards I used to frequent when I owned a few of them.

Thank you!

Well, my Dad raised me in the muscle car era, so I got the bug from him. Luckily I have learned over the years to slow down and not drop every penny I have on cars, lol. I purchased my 25th car by the time I was 28! haha

My avatar is the new car. I added a pic of the F250.
