I did all the prep work for the Ford Performance tune. Now I am working on the hard part, which is finding someone to flash the tune. So far, the two quotes I have gotten are $160 ($177 after tax, and a change to straight time if it takes less than an hour (maybe, he couldn't say for sure)) and $210 minimum for hooking up to the truck.

That is ridiculous. Hopefully, I can find an ASE tech who will do the install for a reasonable price.

You can't easily see where the hoses go, it's kinda behind the LF wheel just inside the frame rails. Nightmare job. If you are thinking about one, my advice is to reconsider your position. The hoses haven't made it to their first birthday on the truck and are failing. It's not worth the aggravation.
Sounds like something I'll check out during my oil change then since I'll be in the area at that time


The hoses I have are of high grade from Eaton, so I'm good on that front.

I don't know and to be honest I cant wait to remove this thing. I wish I hadn't put it on the truck in the first place, and I will not be researching other CC options. Going back to stock and take my chances with valvetrain issues.
while you are waiting for summer sunshine, try installing one of these and see if it helps.

The first set went quick so built some inventory since I'm snowed in up north. Below is the new link. Everyone have an awesome day and keep sending pics of the new mods. I need to figure out what I'm doing to mine next once this snow melts. I must say I love the way my truck handles in the snow. Got to love 4 wheel drive.

Look at this on eBay

I figured I would post these pics of the mods I did a few weeks ago. I've been eyeing up the South American fx4max grille for quite a while and even thought about somehow ordering it from down there. For some reason I like it more than the raptor grille. Thankfully Ford decided to sell it up here and I was part of the first batch that stage 3 received. Then to go with that I started painting the emblems to match the semigloss black of the grill. I still want to go the silver in the bumper and put black bedliner on skid plate. I going to wait until things warm up before I do that though.

My current in-progress project.

Yes its absurd. @Glocker don't even start with me. You just be quiet and enjoy your Florida-man routine.

I have found this bizarre love of working with wiring and getting that clean-install look you see online. Very similar to computer guys. This panel will eventually have a raised acrylic see-through panel installed over it. I figured since this would be taking up so much space on my rear seat delete build I might as well display it like a nerd.

- Left a Ranger5g.com card on a Cactus Grey Ranger at Trails of Frisco golf course

- Finally got around to installing the ESI Tailgate seal. Waiting on a can of black spray foam to see how that will work to fill the gaps at the front of the bed.

- Hope to install my Wolf Haus Power Outlet (thanks @WLFPIR8 for the quick delivery). Waiting for the bed lights to come in sometime today. Thanks to @quangdog 's bedlight install video and his links to some "didn't know I needed that" install materials.

Yeah, I also just ordered a Wolf Haus Power Outlet that I didn't even know I needed! And was just notified that it shipped already (thanks @WLFPIR8 too). Now if it gets out of the teens here, and my garage floor is not full of slush from this storm (thanks Kenan, whoever you are) maybe I can install it! If I ever trade in this 2019 with only 12k, I'm going to strip the crap out of it for the million I have spent on it! Or maybe by now, OneHundredMillion?
