Not speaking for the dude in any way, alot of those Faceboogers think forums are lame and a whole bunch of good info and people have moved over there. Sucks. I personally wish FaceSpace would die a miserable death, but some other mind numbing crap would just take its place.

On the forum yes. In Facebook land there is more information. I suspect it's still happening as there were quite a few who put down money on it.

Awesome to read!

They have 14 of the 20 people needed who put money down to get the first batch done for the front bumper.

9 of the 10 for the hood.

This was information from about a week ago.

I'm a lil jelly.

Can't wait to see the finished outcome.

Good to see peeps placing their money where their mouths are. Good deal.

I have absolutely no idea why, but my youngest son's traveling baseball coach runs all communications through Fakebook instead of text or email.  So then I have to depend on my wife to relay all the information to me because I've never had a Fakebook account and never will.  And I really love when you tell someone that you don't do Fakebook and they think it's just because you're computer illiterate.  I can't imagine how Fakebook would come anywhere close to emulating a good informational/how to board like this one or any other one either.

I am sure forums will disappear eventually, just like BBS did.  There will still be independent sites pperating, whether as forums or websites, but will be in the definite minority if not so already.  Facebook doesn't cost anything for the owner to operate.  People will put up with a lot of stuff if they do not have to pay for it.  I AM on Facebook all the time, and have vented my frustrations to Facebook about their lack of quality control on various things, and they have generally listened to and corrected those things.  So that is SOME comfort.

Anyhoo, back to topic :)

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!

Here is my issue with the Facebook ecoboost pages...

There are a TON of guys who post CRAP all day long. You ask a question and you get 99 posts of BS before someone actually answers the question.

And 90% of the time, the guys answering the questions don't know what they are talking about. It's a lot of bad information with very little actual facts behind it.

And the tuner wars are seriously stupid....

There are some good ones on there, but for the most part is crap....

If you want real honest to god answers from guys who actually care about these cars, SHOforum and EBPF are the only place to go to get consistently good information.

Point in case... I asked about the LMS firestorm pump... I got a lot of feedback and none of it good...

The funny part was that NONE of them actually have the pump nor have ANY experience with it. The closest they could get was "I know a guy who talked to a guy..." answers. Just a bunch of biased LMS haters.

Rich Yaklin was the only one that actually has the pump (although the bigger one) who responded and said he has had ZERO issues...

Oh well...

I actually left most of the EB Facebook groups because of all the BS. Try to help someone, get 10 replies back when you are wrong. And the info is stuff straight from here. I trust most on this forum more than any Ford tech or adviser or keyboard mechanic.

While Facebook does have it's good uses (keeping in touch with family) there are a lot of stupid uses for it.


And I wish I could see this front end on a 10-12
