Installing now, Q - did you leave the fan wiring connector open, or connected back to the harness? Not sure if I’m supposed to leave it just disconnected, worried it’ll throw a CEL.
For some reason I'm just seeing this now. Looks great! You knocked it out the park with the build brotha! Love the video and how you narrated using your personal experience throughout the build!
See you then when it's time to change the trans filter, now you'll have the same tricky process as the V8 version of f150 for that year! Conclusion: It definitely doesn't worth it (320+ Dollars) More fluid and extra labor for the next maintenances. Thanks and sorry
@@aaronjmv I definitely just did a drain and fill last week just over 60k miles. I laid under the truck for a few minutes and decided I didn’t want the hassle of removing the pan. I am now eyeing aftermarket downpipes with removable center section. I often end up spending more money fixing my “upgrades” than I do on the “upgrades” themselves
Did you end up trimming? Im considering the same set up but theres so much nonsense on the forums about destroying fenders with 37"s. I do go fairly hard on the dunes with my truck, but have a svc bumpers with cut frames and am prepared to trim whatever is needed for the 37"s. Also planning to keep stock 2019 beadlocks
@@driversreview I still haven’t don’t any trimming. I’ve only gone full tuck like 5 times since I switched and no issues so far. I do imagine that if it was a full size 37” tire like KM3 it would be necessary. I do plan on getting to it eventually, but not worried now.
Nice video. I've been considering 37's on my 2nd Gen but the more I watch, the less the work seems worth it for what I do. I have the front "leveled" from the previous owner which gave me negative rake so I blocked the rear 2" to get my rake back. Adding a Decked system, Leer topper and then the stuff I carry for overlanding necessitated the RAS springs at 40% to keep the truck level and under control, which they do quite well. It rides fantastic now but I know Deaver +3's are in my future.
Yeah I found the severe lack of weight capacity to be frustrating and way too expensive to fix. Make sure you chat with the various companies that sell the springs...they usually will provide recommendations based on your load and front springs.
The Supercab does not have enough flex in the exhaust because of the shorter distance so the downpipes of the exhaust need to be disconnected at the the turbos. This will allow the exhaust to drop enough for clearance of the PPE pan.
I had mine rebuilt on site at TSW. They are thoroughly professional. Meeting the guys in person was nice. They are complete shock nerds, and know what they are doing! Customer for life.
I had all the same issues you did. Harder than crap to see the oil on the dipstick. And then I realized I have this whining noise all the time I didn't realize it was a dipstick until I just watched your video
You would think you’d be able to do some measurement/comparison between the stock stubby dipstick and the new one and transfer the markings over. That’s definitely an aggravating install. I have the dipstick and pan from B&M on the way… not really looking forward to doing this on my 2021.
The kit is great. I've gotten used to the firmer feel and only think about the calipers during hard stops now. Loads of confidence in them; hopefully I don't overestimate them in the future.
Flowmasters are a horrible way to go with turbos. Can’t hear the start up over the stupid background music. Well, it’s not really background music when it’s that loud. The magnum muffler will break in and get louder. But that is substantially better than the Flowmaster. Flowmaster’s are chambered and turbos do not want any restriction.
Yeah, I didn't do any research until after the first iteration...too much info out there for me to have been so ignorant, but now I know! I'll also drop the music volume and ducking amount on the next video...everyone is hating on my royalty free music.
Not sure why you drilled...stock holes are there where the plates go 1 on very front 1 on the back of the other back bracket.. Unless that kit says so? But plate with bolt head is not going to do anything to stay in place..? Have done a dozen f150s and plate on front and one on back on each side. Shop you can get BOTH sides for $44 SHIPPED
Yeah, the kits I bought were one for each side with the cam bolts included. So it required 8 plates total and drilling where there weren't holes...event came with the template to drill. Maybe just a different kit design.
I replaced without the friction modifier as Amsoil says it includes modifier in all its oils...buuut...since amsoil sells friction modifier I'd say their oil probably still needs it. I haven't used it even on my most recent change, but that's just because I forgot.
Yep, I have another video where I install the front diff cover from ARB, but that involves cutting the cover a bit. Everyone has said that the Spicer one fits without modification. The sizing for the front cover is the Ford 8.8 rear diff cover.
Thanks for the video. I have Deaver +2HDs on order and am actually looking at bump stop and strike plate options right now. I have the Timbren SES which are slightly different than your Active Off-Road kit but they both seem to mount offset. I didn't realize that so thanks for pointing that out. Did you notice you had more space between your bump stops and bump stop pad with your lift? I’m maintaining stock height and am trying to decide between the flat or raised bump stop strike plates. Off-Road Alliance carries them both. TIA
Hows the battery life on it? ive heard some pretty mixed opinions but i wanna take it to school and get like 5-6 hours of desktop usage like word and browsing the internet, i dont mid having the battery saver on but if you could explain if theres a other way to to preserve the battery. im debating between a macbooka air m2 and the razer blade 15 from your video, thanks for the answer it would mean the world to me
Go with the MacBook for battery life. The best battery life I’ve gotten on this laptop was around 2hr 50min doing basic word editing and a single browser open with all the settings set to low. I’m not sure what overhead is causing the battery drain, but I mostly use it as a workstation with dual monitors and only use as laptop when I go out of town. I even bring a tablet with me to watch videos on the plane because I know the laptop won’t last more than 80-90min playing videos.
It looks like they are currently on sale for $1039 on the SPV website. There are other companies that sell a similar kit with Diode Dynamics lights that might be cheaper at different times. You could also look at lighting kits from different manufacturers based on your needs and research. Shop around, but there is a link in the description for where I purchased the kit.
