I have the 2.7L in my 2018 F150. I call it the "Little engine that could".
That thing makes a great daily driver. It is plenty quick enough to merge with traffic. And it easily pulls my boat. (17ft aluminum boat thats heavier than it looks because of all the fishing shite I have in it.) I was actually getting the advertised 26mpg/hwy before I put a small lift and upgraded the tire size and all-terrain tires. Then the mpg fell to about 24mpg. Then I got a letter from Ford telling me that there is a software update available. Ol' baw came to the house to do the update. Since then my mpg was bumped to about 25mpg/hwy and it smoothed out the shifting of the transmission (3rd - 4th-5th gears). I drive country roads to and from work going 50-55mph.

If you are not pulling anything too heavy the 2.7L makes for a great motor. Easily pulls small to medium loads. Plenty quick enough. Solid little motor. Ford did good with that motor.

1) My Dad. One of about 3 "real" men I've ever known. And I'm not the only one that would tell you that. Definitely cut from a different cloth.

2) My first High School football coach. After helping him get into his locked car to get his keys he told 3 of us youngsters some life advice.
He says: "One of the most important things in life is time. Its always moving forward and it stops for no one."

Now that I am older i can't tell you how true that is!

I inject the flat with tallow.

Word to the wise:
If you do this be prepared for a huge mess. shite flies everywhere. Last time I did it I laid the brisket in a big pan and covered with Reynolds wrap. Helped a bunch.

I really appreciate the reply!!!

I believe that is an R-32 system you have there. Correct?

Last time I was able to find a Merlin was about 3 years ago at my local Wally World. I bought one for both my Grandkids, One for both my kids, and, of course, one for myself.

The other chocolate bunnies just cant compete! They are not the same.

I want my Merlins back!!

Greased Lighting cleaner + Dawn. scrub with brush and let sit overnight. then wash. usually takes a couple of tries to get it all out.

Curiel is more disciplined at the plate. He has patience to get a pitch he is looking for. Has a very good eye. Will hit the ball anywhere on the field. You won’t see him strike out looking too often. A contact hitter.

Brown is a power hitter. A very good power hitter at that.

Seems like a better way to cheat would be bringing some big fish beforehand and have them in a cage or stringer somewhere on the lake and then just go haul them in during the tourney. Do people ever try that?

Years ago, on the lake I frequent, there was about a 2X4X2ft cage in the back of a cove for that very reason. You could easily see it when the water was low. You could always tell when bass came out of a cage cause they looked beat to shite. Scales missing, etc.

The cage is no longer there. Or maybe it has been relocated. I dunno.

Crawfish Barn burned down to the ground in 1/25.

There is a food truck there now

Years ago, in my small town, 2 black guys played "Chicken" on the main drag while riding motorcycles. Neither lived to talk about it cause neither was "Chicken".

Down for me in South Central La.

But my YouTubeTV is working.
