Plain Jane is ready for duty

Happens regularly here and doesn't seem to be a big deal. The mods explained that thread titles are changed sometimes to make them more descriptive and easier to search for when other users search up topics. Thats probably why whipple supercharger was added to the title is my guess.

Nice build btw! Doesn't get more sleeper status than that.

Love the sleeper look, where did you get the overflow tank cover? I got my last one from Cobb but I like the way yours blends.

With the rising cost of insurance and not really needing 3 vehicles any more, I decided earlier in the year to downsize 2 of my vehicles into 1. I sold my 2022 AMG GLC63 and my 2019 Transit van and picked up a 2024 F150 XL 5.0. I set up the F150 recently with a Whipple and a few mods to get the truck where I want it. So I can still haul my dirt bikes and such (what my van was for) AND have a sporty ride for a daily (what my SUV was for). Kept the 2002 Vette as that is my baby! Much cheaper now by downsizing from 3 to 2 vehicles.

My mods:
remove the 4x4 stickers on the bed
remove the 1.25 inch blocks on the rear leaf's
25% tint all the way around except windshield
Raptor Steering wheel and wired for paddles
Whipple SC and updated Stage 1 tune (stock fuel/injectors and pump gas as this is a daily) includes tranny tune (much better shifting and spacing of shifts now)
PPE deep sump trans pan (1.75 more capacity and cooling fins with a drain plug)
white mirror caps and door handles. Really cleans up the looks
under coated
Corsa Extreme side exit
Peragon hard cover
FOX 2.0 rear shocks

Remaining mods are big brakes for the front as this truck will see some weekend fun at the strip a few times a year. Front coil overs possibly, will see how the stockers perform. upgraded sway bars to help with the small amount of roll I feel on harder cornering.
I have a set of FUEL Bronze rims (18's) but will save those for a while and use up the stock tires over the winter.

Love a plain looking truck that is Jekyll and Hyde-

the perfect sleeper! nive truck!

Stunning! Those are some impressive performance mods. Can't wait to see it with the Fuel Bronze wheels!

 

[Matisse70]

Since your discussing power performance and I'm just a novice mechanic, has anyone tried a Ford performance chip that plugs into the trucks OBD2 port? Does it really work as advertised or is it just a gimmick?

 

[Bossharp]

To complete the 'Sleeper' look get a light weight toolbox or just toss a square bale of hay in the back..

 

[Henfield]

I'm liking the way the engine bay looks filled. A no super (!) V8 looks tiny on its own....

 

[basicbetty]

Looks awesome. This is what I'm hoping to achieve with my "Basic Betty" truck too... my scheduled production week starts today! Watching this for your future mods.

 

[lrb_35128]

Like the build. Look forward to seeing it completed.

Reminds me of a "project car" my dad had. Baby blue 1979 Mustang Ghia notchback w/ a white vinyl top, wire-wheel hubcaps, and a 460 from a '70 Ranchero shoehorned into the engine bay.

What? Outerageous!

The moderators are moderating?

Quick, someone call a moderator and stop this, pronto!

Love the Whipple and the steering wheel with the paddles almost identical to what I plan on doing with my 24 F150 5.0 XLT CC, did you do your own install and you still maintain warranty w/ injectors and stage 2 tune? any ideas on where I can get that steering wheel also to make sure this time I need them paddle shifters to complete everything.. The Whipple and 10 speed trans was really my entire reason to buy this pick up , coming from 17 Chevy Silverado Duramax. Thank you.

 

[filmguy]

How easy/difficult/tricky is the steering wheel with paddles install? I really miss paddle shifters!

 

[Samson16]

Even the thread title is a sleeper!
