A stiffer spring will just make you rock faster given the same dampers. Dampers damp motion. You should upgrade the shocks.

What kind of sound? Like squealing or grinding? I've used Yellow and Blue NDX and those were definitely silent. Hoping you did have a bad set or bad batch, as these were what I was looking at next (OE rotors until Baer Big Claw)

But he specifically calls out Ford bolts not being TTY. He says usually it's only about about thread locker needing to be applied. Based on the appearance I think it looks more like Nylock instead of cyanoacrylate. AFAIK if there is no "angle" measurement provided as second step, it's not a TTY.

I haven't watched the video yet, but did you control for brake pad friction material? Something I think that gets lost is upgrading brakes from a stopping-distance perspective is it usually compares OE level brake pads to high performance friction pads from the big kit. It would be really great...

Before 2021 they were just 35 spline semi-floating axles. 2021-2023 they are 3/4 float axles, so they have a hub that resembles the front a FWD car at the end of the rear axle tube, and the 35 spline axle has no flange on it. It is retained at the hub, so there is no C-clip on the diff side...

Sorry for your, and frankly everyone else's, loss. Someone has to be pretty special to make a car buying experience completely pleasant. He was great to deal with. I'm sure he was a bight spot everywhere he went.

I bought an OEM Lariat wheel with OEM ford TPMS sensor in it for a 5th wheel to rotate in ("35s"). I had the shop make sure it was broadcasting, but didn't do anything with the truck. When I rotated that wheel in, the truck detected it into the correct place without issue or input from me...

OTA update? Or update attempt?

This only works in the off-road modes for the front cam over 7 mph. In the other modes, under 7 mph you just hit the camera button and you get the front cam. Over 7 mph and you just get the rear cam.

Yes, 22+ 4A trucks do not have IWEs, and are completely connected hubs like a FWD car. I have not yet seen a kit that would convert it to manual locking hubs. That would be a lot of custom hardware. To keep 4A and disconnect the front hubs, your solution would be to convert to the 4A Hi-Lock...

Pretty sure you can change the address, but also, people move states all the time.

I did too and could have sworn it was linear, but I apparently deleted the email. I'm probably misremembering due to the Shock Surplus vid talking about them being FOX clones. You can make a linear piston digressive easily.

I can't speak for the other shocks, but Vertex are FOX clones and linear.

I would assume it's something on the 24+ IPCs and won't be available on the 21-23 IPC. It's different hardware, and I'm assuming that 21-23 are done with any major feature drops like that.

My guess is the dogs being under load means the friction is likely too high for the spring to push them back into rest. When you slow down to turn, the force on them is reduced, allowing them to retract.

It didn't make them change the MPG ratings when they implemented this in 22 (for the TOD trucks), so it must really not be an issue. Aero is likely way more important.

So this is hot-on-run out of the BCMC?

This part appears to be about $1k USD. Is it cheaper in CAN?

Yes, what I'm referring to is specifically the interface of the worm gear and the worm wheel. Not the spur gears. It's my understanding this is how the the Torque Bias Ratio works. https://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/Torsen/Torsen.htm Dip into section 3.2 which goes into the math, and you'll...

Look at 2:50 on the video you posted, and you can see the blue gears moving with the dark orange worm gear, while the light orange worm gear is going slower. It's going slower as the blue gears are sliding along the light orange worm gear, and the light orange axle is not moving "backwards."
