Let's us know how it works out. I been thinking the same

That's why I'm asking. I'm assuming it's a separate reservoir, if so then it wouldn't matter, unlike the struts I service on Aircraft, for example I'll service a NLG strut at 245 psi at full extension on a Large Cabin Gulfstream but with weight on wheels its in the THOUSANDS. But just want to...

Thank You

Thank you for the quick response. Is there any way to find out if its different with weight on wheels? Not having any luck searching so far

I know this is a old thread but is the 200 psi with the truck on the lift or on the ground with weight on wheels

Floor it a few times. Some times ya gotta clear the pipes. Usually its the cat build up in the exhaust. As from my experience. I regularly get on it with all my vehicles and never had the smell. My wife drives like a grandma so I will notice it in her car so I floor it a few times and it goes away

I'd just keep your Gen 1. Nice toy to have and if ya get rid it you may regret not having it to putting smiles on your face driving it. I miss my fox body mustangs. Lesson learned for me, my Gen1 is a keeper

Do you have tail gate extenders? I used to hear a thud on big speed bumps and it was my tail gate extenders not being completely stowed. The pin wasn't all the way engaged

I have Kooks Long Tube Headers and Roush CAI and custom tune. Really Woke the Truck up. Definitely noticeable difference from stock. Headers are pricey though costs as much as a SC. But the sound gives me a Huge Smile every time I Step on it. And I don't have to worry about added stress on a NA...

Check that the Fuse 27 Relocation has been done on Beauty truck ya got.

I plan on Super Charging mine but I'm gonna put Forged internals 1st in it

How many miles on it?

Yeh, one of the few. Compared to how many of these engines made if in a Raptor or a Super Duty, its pretty good odds it may not happen. Also there is No guarantee just changing them to change them mean it won't happen.

If ain't broke don't fix it. I only know of few mishaps of a broken valve spring. And there are thousands of 6.2l engines made. I personally have 187k miles on mine and had zero issues. Now I'm praying I didn't jinx myself but anyways you get the point

I have over 187k on my Gen 1 and going STRONG. I've seen many High mileage Gen 2s also and going strong. Gen 3s are new but same overall drive train as the 2s. Maintenance is key to anything. Gen 2s have been plagued with cam phasers but thats been fixed. Tundra were plagued with Main crank...

Damage on truck doesn't look that bad. All fixable. Im sure the inside is a bit messy due to the airbags. Let us know what the insurance company says. You could ask them not to total it. A guy I work with had his insurance company not total his VW TDI and it worked for him

And there there's always one in every crowd

Either way they are All Awsome Trucks. Each Gen has its own advantages and Disadvantages. Can we agree on that. HAPPY NEW YEAR

It all comes down to how you maintain it. Im not sold on the Aluminum body until I see one 12yrs of daily driving in the North East like my Gen 1. I have replaced my outer rockers and cab corners and some other touch up and it looks GREAT. When I did the rockers just a yr ago they weren't that...

It turns into powder

Same with Aluminum

As a Aviation mechanic for the pass 25 yrs. The only real advantage of Al body is light weight

Love the Gen 1. Nice Truck man. Without the over inflated prices of the other Gens you can mod that beast up any way you want it and still be cheaper than the other gens. Pay no attention to the Gen 2 people that think there's is better. Each Gen has its own advantages and disadvantages

Just curious. Do tunes take the limiter out? Not that I need to be going over 100 in a truck but for just my own stupid knowledge

Also check your lower ball joints. Like I mentioned before I replaced mine as I had a quarter inch of play on the old ones. I replaced them plus a shock rebuild and that fixed it for me
