[QUOTE="pierceography, post: 1372356, member: 26311"] Ok, so things I would recommend: 1) Look into a tune. You can get them customized for your driving style, and that should help quite a bit. 2) There are several documented ways of disabling the auto-stop feature. 3) Have you checked your tire pressure? Especially on the rears. I run mine at 35psi and notice little difference between how my Raptor rides vs how my '16 F150 XLT rode. 4) It's hard to burn tires if traction control is on. Try turning it off and see how easily you can burn your rears in even regular mode. 5) Look into a Fumoto oil valve. I bought one (haven't installed it yet), and have read they make oil changes much easier. I wouldn't worry too much about the stability of the ecoboost platform. The content on here will have you thinking the EB engines are junk. Fact of the matter (for me) is that this is my fourth EB engine, almost 200,000 miles on them combined, and absolutely zero issues. I don't tend to drive vehicles as long as you drove your last truck, but I have little reason to believe my EB engine won't make it to 200k if I kept it that long. [/QUOTE]
