I just finished this same refit and wanted to share a couple of things - but first thanks for this video it was extremely helpful. I installed the console in a crew cab F150 - so I had a little more room to work with. I didn’t need to unplug the passenger seat just unbolted it and moved back. I did hook up the air duct to the console since it has back seats. You have to cut the carpet up to get to the ductwork but it’s covered up. The trim removal tools are a must as I am pretty sure if you tired using a screwdriver you would end up snapping something. Took me about 3 hours total. And only one trip to the store.
@@jasonsmith5447 In my situation yes - the jump seat doesn't have rear vents so it routes the air ducts under the driver/passenger seat. The console does have rear vents (Crew cab truck) so I had to cut a piece out of the existing under seat duct to connect the console duct. It came with an adapter piece. Had to cut the carpet and about 10 inches of plastic duct. But the console covers it all up.
I’m actually looking into getting a single cab first I wanted a 19 but when I saw the 22-23 I liked the new design and the front end and interior but this would probably be one of the first things I would do to it but I would look for a Shelby or King Ranch Interior and then a Whipple sc nice video
If I remember right, I had taken out the passenger front seat to install the consul. When I reinstalled the front seat, I did not have the plug underneath the seat in all the way. I believe the little latch wasn’t down all the way, and that was causing the airbag light to come on. Good luck.
Great job, and very well done .. however, I want to get the wiring harness on the center console to work/connect and have them plugs function .. but the original plug is different from the center console wiring harness .. is there a connector or a suitable solution to this ? Been searching the f-150 forums but it doesn’t seem anyone have a solution for the year model 21+
Does anyone know if a 2024 bolts in with the same parts? I don't see why it shouldn't but who knows. Also, any idea on part number for the 12" screen vs the 8"?
yes it does, every single interior piece is the exact same. even the tail lights fit in the 21-23 from the 24. they’re the same truck just with a face lift
Great video! Thanks for all the pointers. Considering getting one but feel like the gimmicky folding gear selector feels cheap and would rather have the column shift like yours. Truck looks awesome as well!!
The front hangers needed to be tightened down a bit tighter than what is recommended. That pretty much got rid of my creaks. Here and there I’ll get one but nothing annoying
after the swap, when you started your truck did any warning lights come on? I just removed my jumpsuit and after starting the truck the airbag light came on?
Has that rear shackle been scrubbing ??😮 EDIT: Or was that just from you working on it? Did you have any driveline vibrations? I occasionally use my truck for hauling flooring, carpet , wood ect.... I see you said there was 3 1/2 inchs between th3 bumpstop now.. Any idea how much it squats with a load on it? EDIT 2: As Im watching the entire video , you didnt have a jack under that lower comtrol arm when you took the upper ball joint loose? Final Edit, lol How much adjustment is on the front.. 2 -4 inch drop?
Awesome video and thank you for this upload. Currently ready to put this kit in our 2023 scsb just like yours, but very confused on the rear shackles. I thought I wanted to use the provided adjustable ones, but use the highest holes to make her as low as possible, assuming it would be to low then? How did your pinion angle come out afterwards with this setup? That rear shackle has everything to do with the pinion angle for sure.
I chose to use the factory shackles because it was the ride height I was looking for and prefer to use factory parts as often as I can. I’d use the ridetech ones if I wanted a different ride height. I have not had any pinion angle issues
