Since a lot of stuff is going to happen with the 09 such as the redesign body and a new gas and diesel motor... People could post in here with new stuff and information as it becomes available... Topic or forum... I don't know what to call it...

AKSuperDually says:

maybe. Might need a section for the new "baby" diesel. Probably going to need a help section for it....if the last two motors have been any indication..... so...did ford hire the product testing engineer from microsoft, or what?

SuperSteezy says:

aren't they adding the boss crate motor as the new gasser? I think the 5.4 is gonna be gone...

Chris says:

Create a new group!

Jason says:

Yes, with the development and release of the 2009 F-150, I will be posting up information on our news website, Truckblog, which also has a feed on the home page of this website.

Jason says:

Check out this information about the 2009 F-150- potentially receiving a hydraulic launch assist system

I thought that was the system it was going to mention. I heard about that a long time ago. I hope that it does come out with it. Can you imagine 60mpg?
Tell them Toyota Prius they can kiss our ass. Better mpg out of a full size truck. Take that you environmentalist sumbitches.

SuperSteezy says:

Thats pretty crazy... I would like to see numbers on why they think they can get that high of MPG... if its true though it should def sell some trucks...

Leylah says:

so they are makin reg gas fords obsolete?

AKSuperDually says:

eventually

diesel is the fuel of the future, it can be created artificially, and diesel motors are all flex fuel...they run off a variety of fuels. Heck, before they implimented this stupid low sulfur crap I was getting 26 mpg on the highway with my 7.3L...you just need a few smart mods to get good mileage. Before the ULSD came on the market and practically doubled the fuel costs....It was cheaper for us to drive my 1 ton dually then our subaru outback.

FFTEX says:

yea that damn USLD is stupid. It kills the fuel mileage to because you lose lubricity. That Bio Diesel is supposed to get some of that lubrication back but I don't know how much stock to put into that. I know when I drove rig and filled up with LSD instead of ULSD I swear I felt a bit more power and also I think I got better fuel mileage.

Leylah says:

i was at gas station this morn... they had a pump for ethanol...then whats that used for?

lounge lizard says:

flex fuel auto's

some are now flex fuel so they can use either or both. but you can't put it in a plain auto. it will eat the fuel lines out of the thing!

Leylah says:

so is gas mileage any better w/ those? & what bout hsp? man, i need to go read up on some stuff today

SuperSteezy says:

Isn't gas mileage worse and its cost more...

SuperSteezy says:

worse than gas I mean...

AKSuperDually says:

yes, and the conversion if possible is very spendy.

AKSuperDually says:

so far...it costs more energy to produce ethenol (made from corn) than the ethenol actually produces. So...its a losing situation. But...its politically correct...and tree huggers think they are saving the planet by using it. Its all part of the lie, its all for money. If they'd focus on diesel technology and produce effecient motors (like big rigs, and some european cars)....we'd use a lot less fuel...and the cost of producing diesel is half what it costs to produce gas...and way below ethenol. And...diesel can be combined with biodiesel without ill effects in most smaller hp motors. Not to mention its easy to get a diesel car to get well over 40 mpg...and 50 mpg is not unheard of.
