I had one of the Fernades SixxBirds for a couple years. Loved the neck on it!! Sold it to someone that wanted it for a Crue tribute and I had a weak moment. I would like to get another someday.

Heads up on those... If you get a misfire in one of your cylinders, there's a good chance the spark plug is gapped way too much. Common issue with the ecoboosts and one I dealt with personally. Easy fix, but look at the gaps before replacing anything if it comes up.
:thumbsup: Not heard of that one, but very good to know and keep in mine. I have two 3.5s now, 1st and 2nd Gen.
 
Thanks Mike!

Crazy dog ate more than I did today! Vet said he would likely stop eating for 2-3 days and that would be how we wold know. Told my wife given how much he's eating the last couple days he'll be around for a while!:laugh:

Mine kicked in on cylinder 1 around 100k. Upon checking gaps, all 6 were over gapped. 3 were WAY overgapped.
