Potentially buying an 06, have questions.

Man, if you get one, you will love it hands down.

You will love it every day you drive it.

You will love the looks you get from other people.

You will love the respect you get from other owners of fast vehicles . . . . . if you can shift fast enough :D

I enjoy my 10 so much more than my 05 vette . . . . . it is a 500 hp truck that is good for nothing than having a good time . . . that is why it is so cool!:rock:
 
. . . . . oh, but check the clutch fluid res and make sure it has enough fluid and is not leaking. Mine is down right now because it needs to be bled:( .

These trucks have a chronic slave cyl issue, but it can be corrected with the right upgrades easily.:burnout:

Check with Tony, he can hook you up with anything you need!

Hey guys, I'm new around here. Always been a Ford guy, but the SRT-10's pull is too strong, haha. I have the opportunity to buy an 06 RC with only 16k miles, and just had a few questions before I pull the trigger. I'm sure this is like hearing a broken record, but bear with me!

-This truck will be a DD essentially, so what are some problem areas I need to address if any?
-What kind of mileage are you RC guys getting? I understand mileage should not be a concern, I'm just curious. I currently drive a 600rwhp '04 Cobra, so I know about bad mpg.

Any other info I should know about them before I drive 500 miles to pick this one up? Thanks in advance, guys.

Where is this truck located? Could be my old one...btw, 06's are the best :aetsch:
 
U will love the truck hands down and be ready to have ppl starring and giving you props on how bad @ss your ride is
 
You will love the truck. But check it out as best you can. And as mentioned, post up the location of the vehicle and somebody here may be able to check it for you before you make the drive to purchase.

Some things that went bad for me on my 06:

1. Oil Lines
2. Power Steering Pump
3. Fan Module
4. Brake Fluid Level Sensor (had to replace the complete reservoir).
5. Clutch Master Cylinder
6. Serpentine Belt

My truck is still under the base 3/36 and these issues were all covered under warranty.

Some other things you can do to improve the truck and not spend big $$$ on.

1. If you can find one, replace the OE Hurst shifter with a B&M. XMetal is another shifter choice as well but they are hard to find too.
2. Hit up Stinker for replacement braided oil lines.
3. Replace the OE air filter element with a K&N drop in.

Additional things to watch out for:

1. Signs of vehicle abuse or previous accident damages/shoddy repairs.
2. Power steering lines, like the oil lines, have a known history of leaking.
3. Check the above mentioned items as well.

Mileage: I average around town 9.5 to 11 (on a good traffic day). Highway mileage: last week I averaged 13.8 - 14.2. Don't expect greatness in this category, lol.

Good luck with the purchase.
 
Well the truck is actually at tenneson nissan, so it might actually be your truck, psycho. If that's the case, could you shoot me a pm with your number?

This is all great info guys, thanks.
