I started out with a new 2014 FX4 Screw luxury pack in Blue flame. 7200# GVW, 3:55's. Pretty much all options other than Max tow and Apperance pack. Built in November of 2014 and I bought it March of 2015.

Bought the truck from family that work at a dealer, great deal as I was able to get it for less than used. Downside is it was 600miles away. Thankfully, my Uncle delivered it for me.

I had them put 3M on the bumper and do a Spray in liner. They did a great job with both.
Window Sticker

Day I got it.


I already had a 2" AS level for it that I put in a couple of days later
Before

After


The kit came with a 3" rear block, but I figured it would put too much rake back in for my taste.
on level ground, it measures perfectly level. I would have liked a bit of rake, but I address that later on...much later.

Once my post goes over a certain number of characters in Tapatalk the post content goes blank. It still contains the words, and I can continue typing carefully and it retains the information if I click submit. I just can't see what I'm writing. Lol. It's been that way a week or so now. When I quote something I'm just about guaranteed to be typing blind.

Baaaaaaaaaaa

What were instruction provided for break in? IN the other thread they were holding revs (which is common).

What injectors and HPFP are you using?
 
#584 ·
Holding revs a a certain rpm ie 2000 was for old flat tappet engines with solid or hydraulic lifters to wear in properly. Not needed on modern engines at all.

Varying rpm to seat rings well is all that's needed.

Got enough time on it for the first oil change. I'll cut open the filter and check things out. So far, so good. No leaks and I gotta say, the FR radiator is one awesome piece. One great benefit is the rad having it's own cap, I didn't have to mess around getting air out of the system. Open the cap up, fill and your pretty much done. The amount of top up, was less than a liter.

Catch can and return fuel system are just waiting on a couple of fittings that are in the mail. Hopefully, I can tie them up by next weekend as I'm back on the road for next week.

Played with FORScan a bit today. First time and it is pretty straight forward. Now I'm really itching to do the SYNC 3 conversion, but have to find the codes I need to make it work.

I did...
Bambi Mod
Nav use while moving
Turn signals "4" flashes instead of three
Disabled TPMS (Don't have them in these wheels yet)
Added Compass to Instrument Cluster.

300 miles on the new motor now. Just did the second oil change and things are looking great.

I have a few tweaks that need to be done with the tune, but we haven't even really started with that yet.

Just did a few small pulls and it's hitting airflow that is equal to about 600hp at the crank. gotta love the cold weather.

Now that I posted a post it let me see the next 10 posts. Funny thing is I already read those 10 post. In fact I posted one comment in those 10. I can see to 570 now.


Edit. Now I posted again and I can see them all. But look at the post numbers. 570 jumps to 596?
also I’ve already see all these posts up to 596.

It's pretty weird. I cleared my cache and now I can see all the posts. I haven't checked via Tapatalk at all.

@admin

This site has been a let down for weeks. I’ll get an email that tells me there is a new post in the threads that I’m subscribed to. I’ll go to that thread using the link in the email and it won’t show a post for the past 10 days. I know there’s a new post because I can read it in my email. I have been able to make a comment in that thread and log out of the site, log back in and it will catch the thread up. This has been in a variety of threads that I’ve noticed the problem.

Still seems OK for me since I cleared my cache.

Truck stuff. I now have everything I need to complete the return fuel system. So when I get back home on Friday, I'll drop the tank and get it finished up and the regulator set.

Went for another blast tonight, this thing is fun.
