Re: Disk Swap with Dakota Rotors ???
It looks like the Dakota Rotors are 2 inches to short. I read about the Dakota Rotors in the archives but the info was pretty thin. Hey Tom I am off next week give me a call if you have a chance.

Re: New ford trucks- 5.0 3.5 3.7
My 2011 F150 Gets about 18-22 empty But when I pull my enclosed Car Trailer My mileage drops to 10- 12 and thats without a head wind. The 5.0 Pulls really well and I have power to spare. I'm pulling about 8000 to 9500 lbs. The 5.0 sure makes my old 5.4 look sad. I added airbags on the rear of my F15...

I to jumped in and picked up one of Kevins Hood Kits. I love it. I had a few problems but Kevin helped me through my own inexpirence. What really sucked is after getting all together and working right we had to take it all off to paint it.... Oh well it should take half the time to reinstall. :shock...
