Did some emblem painting past couple days

 

Also going to figure out a way to bring the exhaust out the side with two pipes. I think I have a plan, I’ll post when I do it.
After I do that, I’ll be getting a meth kit also.

Just say No! to drugs!

No Matt, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but it's for you.

 

Hahahaha true story

 

I'm looking to have Ford do the horse power tune on my 22 3.5 . Is it worth it. 450 horse is great, but what happens to torque. Does it stay at 500ftp or go up. Thanks

 

Bro just get unleashed and follow Torries tuning guide. If you're worried about longevity, Torrie can leave a little in the tank so you're never stressing it.

You won't be happy with Fords Tune IMO

 

Ordered the meth kit from Nitrous Express and I did happen to see that they have a nitrous kit for the 3.5 Ecoboost…. Hmmmmm

 

Have you played with N2O before? I've run it quite a bit over the years on both street cars and sand dragsters. Never anything with both Meth and Nitrous. Unless someone makes a high-end kit dedicated to the 3.5, I'd take pause, and do a ton of research before I ran it on these twin spinner little peanut engines.

Oh I wouldn’t run both. And I probably won’t do nitrous, if I did, I’d ditch the meth kit. But, Jason Myers is at Livernois motorsports right now getting his truck tuned with stage 5 turbos and a fuel pump. It’s a 2021 powerboost. He has the nitrous kit on it and has had it on there for a little while now, it made 640hp and 700 something torque on that setup with stock turbos and I think a 50 shot. He texted me the other day and said Livernois just did his new dyno pulls and the hp number started with a 7. So he is really pushing it… and I’m really curious to see how it goes. (He ran nitrous on the stock tune and it was fine with it)

 

So… I think my truck has a leveling kit spacer on the front. This picture is the truck sitting on flat ground

here’s a pic of my old 2.7 truck. You can see it’s much different. I don’t like how high my trucks front end is off the ground, so I want to remove the spacer if there is one. Does anyone know if 33” tires can work on a 2022, totally stock front end?

 

There sure isn't as much real estate on those top studs. Something is different.

 

That’s what I’m sayin… something ain’t right. I’m gonna pull them off in a little bit and find out.

 

Some quick research of the part number on the sticker says that's not a spacer.

 

I know the part number isn’t, that’s part of the strut. The spacer is on top of the strut I think

 

You definitely have a spacer in there. Stock top on my 2021. It's on a Bilstein 6112 which is why the shock looks different.

 

drop it like its hot! drop it like its hot!!!

 

Well, what do ya know!!! Looks like a 2” or 1.5” leveling spacer. Does anyone know what brand these are? Is this the rough country spacer?

 

Good call.

 

I fabricated a pump bracket and a tank bracket that placed the pump out of harms way on the inner frame rail below the airbox and placed the tank angled between the fan shroud and the airbox. The fill lid is right next to the intake tube. I'll see if I can get a pic tonight.

And I mix my own. One gallon of winter blend washer fluid and three bottles of yellow Heet. According to Snow's own instructions, that should yield a 51% concentration. Mainly go that route so I don't have to worry about keeping boost juice on hand. Ingredients are readily available anywhere and the cost is roughly the same, if not a bit cheaper, than Boost Juice.

 

The reason I was going to have Ford do the tune is the warranty. I don't want a warranty I can't use

 

Fair enough, as that would be the only reason to use that tune. And for many, plenty reason enough.

Claims that aftermarket tunes do not void warranty or cannot be detected lack specific nuances so as to be misleading, at best, or are downright dubious at worst.

In my opinion whether a tune can be detected simply depends on how deep the dealer collaborates with Ford corporate to look for it. I don't think it can be claimed that they are undetectable. Only that often dealers don't bother to do any detecting, let alone pursue the effort to mount such an allegation and tie it to the cause of some failure as a means to deny a warranty claim.

 

Thanks I appreciate it

 

I wasn't aware of the changes to pistons. That was low hanging fruit. Good to hear.

 

I wasn't either. They were probably the weakest point in the 3.5

 

Right! Cause and effect!

 

Thanks @snakebitten. My mind was somewhere else.

 

No worries.
I'm not sure the Gen3 actually got the Coyote lifters/rollers, or that you can use them?
I do remember Geoff recommending the swap if you were refreshing/building a Gen2.

 

Little bit of a science lab situation today…

HeisenBoost!

 

WW fluid good choice. If you get into a situation and use water and methanol remember to add a drizzle of soap to lube the injection pump, soap is already in the WW fluid. KM

 

Does anyone know how big the washer fluid tank is on these trucks? How much can it hold?

 

I only know that when the washer fluid light comes on, my 2022 Powerboost can ALMOST take the whole gallon. But not quite.

 

They're typically a gallon +, except my truck's is about 6 oz. I refill it way too often
Owner's manual ain't no help either:
