UPDATE: I did the second change at 121k. Electrodes looked pristine, straps had a tiny puddle of oxide where the arc hits, boots looked new, Truck maybe runs a bit smoother. The anti-seize on the threads made this 100x easier than the first exchange from dry factory threads. You need a 6" and...

Painting pumpkins is for sissies. Real men carve pumpkins: Kidding aside, I love this idea and want to do it. I will propose that a rear diff cover is probably a good first step, as you'd hate to paint and then have to decide if you want the new cover to match or not. The Ford Performance...

No, I have an XLT 302A Powerboost. Tremors don't come with the 7.2kW onboard power or the hybrid powertrain. I can't go over about 25A on the plasma torch AND I need an alternative source of power for the air compressor (the air compressor motor will flip the circuit breaker when it kicks in...

I think the crazy next step would be a twin turbo Coyote on a 10R8MHT.

I really want one of the Suncoast builds. I'm gonna guess that some run, you're gonna hear a bang that tells you that you get to try it out for the rest of us!

I want to implement SOME of what you've done some day. What's your transmission?

So I've been pretending to be a gentleman farmer lately, and bought a tractor loader bucket from Missouri. Westendorf's quick attach is rare, so I drove to grab it from Texas, but apparently the main use of loader buckets in Missouri is "moving salt". The bottom of the bucket looked like the...

I keep an L2 charger in my bed just like jumper cables. I put a couple of miles on a buddy's VOLT to test it, and another friend wouldn't let me use it on his Model S because he is a very committed tree hugger and preferred to use a 120V extension cable. So yes, it absolutely will charge it in...

No. Let me be clear, I have maybe the second best (street legal) exhaust on a Powerboost, and I just had to have the SPD crosspipe replaced because it cracked. I don't think that had anything to do with SPD's build quality (which is exceptional), but it's an issue which comes from SPD. If SPD...

Maybe it was Long Trail T/A, IIRC. Sorry for the confusion. Whatever the name, it was a road tire that had no business offroad, and I wasn't impressed.

I started with a base Sync 4 stereo with 4 speakers+2 tweeters. I cut the wires at the back of the head unit and ran all 4 speaker wire pairs into a high to low converter with RCA outs and then ran those RCA cables to an RF D-type 4+1 amp under the driver's seat that has bandstop/bandpass on...

Yes. The whole point of nanoceramic is IR and UV opacity with little effect on visible light. My windows don't look like they're tinted.

I think that I misunderstood the question: Let me answer again. 1) For towing BIG/HEAVY stuff, the 7.3 SD is the correct answer. I'd buy a 3.5 PB mated to a 10R140 in a heartbeat, but Ford in its great wisdom has not yet seen fit to grace us with such a beast. 2) For a wife pleaser, get a...

1) get ventilated seats. 2) Nanoceramic window tint is a godsend. The top of the line XPEL stuff is amazing.

The 7.3 wins hands down, and the reason is really simple: it's in a Superduty with a 10R140. Transmission temps, brake temps, and GVWR will stop you well before anything else does. Nearly any truck made will get a big load moving....a far smaller subset will control that load at highway speeds...

I would strongly encourage you to reconsider. The valve is maybe my favorite mod, and definitely the only one that has actually saved me money. Even pulling the front skid plate to get at the oil filter, it takes me 20 minutes to change my oil now (and I don't have a truck lift, that bougie...

I just bought a new set and it was painful.

Buy a Fumoto or similar valve for the oil drain plug and a short length of tubing as an extension. It makes the whole process far easier. I can complete the whole process in 20 minutes and most of that is removing skid plates.

You're 100% right. I was thinking of the Long Trail T/A which I bought many years ago and found to be be....lacking.

reflective noise cancelling foam applied to the underside of the hood does a better job and isn't immediately in the way of any maintenance or repair.
