Default Just brought home a 2012 5.0

Found it used with 6,000 miles. Its Race Red with black interior. Mods aside what are things that are worth doing to it if anything. Do the 2012 still have the 8cyl. problem? I want to make sure that I don't run into any problems with it.

First, try wiping the smile off your face and wipe up the slobbering.....

Post pics.....auto or manual.....

The #8 was an issue with poor tunes. Stick with a good one...a few have warranties.

Its a manual. Yea the smile will last for a few days. I have the free bama tunes for life, I have to check up on them but I think they do. Put 90 miles on it today. It seems it doesen't like to shift into 4th when getting on it. I have to shift pretty slow for it to go into 4th when under power. But other than that I'm super happy with it.

Good looking car man..and bama does have tunes for life if you purchase the part that needs tuning through them. Bama also warranties against #8 failure. Congrats bro!

Tomorrow the dealer badge comes off, and it'll get a proper detail.

Thanks, I've been in the 4.6 section for a while. I got told that these were a limited option wheel. I cant even find a place to buy them.
