Stock T-Stat back in. The 170* was too cold for sub freezing temps.

Also put in a 3 bar map and a lower rad hose without the oil cooler loop. I’ll get up a pic, but I’m convinced the stock hose and oil cooler loop are a restriction that isn’t helping those with overheating issues.

I didn't notice a hug difference in anything really with my 170. Engine temps of course were lower, but I never overheated before. No noticeable sop increase in tunes adjusted to account for it. No increase in timing, etc. I put mine back in and will leave it that way unless I ever experience overheating.

Baaaaaaaaaaa

What's the advantage of the 3 bar map sensor?? Don't you need to have the tunes calibrated for it??

The idea was to keep the temps a bit lower at cruising so they would have a lower starting point when I hammered on it. It’s just too cold though, for around here.

It does need a calibrated in the tune to work with the 3 Bar.

It allows you to run and track boost above 22.4ish PSI. We were seeing some higher boost on a early time and just want to be covered.

I understand and I thought the same thing. Didn't really seem to get any tangible benefits out of it though.

Baaaaaaaaaaa

Thought I’d share the lower rad hose with no OEM oil cooler loop

This is just one of the reasons, you want to ditch the OEM oil cooler set up.

Got the winch back in, everything worked out just like I planned, which is pretty awesome. Super happy that the truck is getting back to a 100% state.

And I think the truck was finally worthy of a new decal

 

[RMB_Ryan]

So clean. Love how that cake out with the winch! Seriously nice install all around man.

Also, I’m pretty happy that I finally fixed the IWE issues. Swapping the vacuum lines (thank you Slepienr) did it! Must have had a crack or something.

I don’t like being separated from my truck! Wheel balance and alignment.

Are the walls padded in this room?

 

[Blown F-150]

Pretty Funny, they said the alignment was so close that they wouldn't charge me for adjustments. You should have seen the look on his face when I said I did the alignment with a straightbar and a measuring tape, it was priceless.

The lighting in both pics don’t do them justice. They look really well, some did a great job on the prep work!

Super happy you like them. They hold up really really well to everything from gas and oil, to heat and engine bay party’s. However, one drop of a 8 or 10mm socket, they will chip chip
