  1. Need help Lowering my F150

    LOL pwned.
  2. Ball Joints - Difficulty?

    One of my tires cupped out badly and it was because of bad alignment due to worn ball joints. I replaced the uppers with the Camburg Uni-ball joints, and now the ride is much smoother and it has reduced bump steer from the larger tires. If you have 33"+ tires on a suspension lift I highly...
  3. Removing Cats

    Had the truck on the dyno, A/F ratios were quite lean on the OEM program, especially above ~3k RPM.I understand that. I am a member on other much larger and faster moving forums, so I know how they work and yes they are a great source of information. Sorry to have upset you all, my post count...
  4. Removing Cats

    While I have not done the modification myself, I watched my friend do it and he had no problems for years as I stated. I was stating as far as my knowlege and personal experience goes and clearly others here have experience too. And yes I do know CA inspectors who could pass me (and Polarbear...
  5. Removing Cats

    Ah, that makes sense. And yes I think the whole CARB certification thing is a silly waste of time and money.Well maybe you can answer this question then: I know they dont check for this in CA, but I do run a custom dyno tune on my computer. This is to help correct the A/F ratios since the...
  6. Removing Cats

    Dude my truck has all 4 cats from the factory, untouched. The only thing modified is the muffler and intake, which are both CARB certified. It would pass with flying colors. :rolleyes:
  7. Removing Cats

    My truck is smog legal. My friend's has years and many miles without rear cats. Just speaking personal experience here man, not trying to pretend I know every little thing about the truck. Sure, there may be little things here and there but I have never encountered someone who's had a problem...
  8. Removing Cats

    Well seeing as you have never done it in person, I dont see how you are so sure the computer will know. Do you even have an 04-05 F150?! If yes, go crawl underneath it and look at the location of the O2 sensors. It will not pass CA smog tests without rear cats, but those are only required every...
  9. Removing Cats

    After 4 years and the better part of 80k miles without the rear cats on my friend's 2004, I can absolutely guarantee you the computer on the 04-05 f150 will not know. On the 06 and up trucks it will since they switched to 2 cats instead of the 4 cats system.
  10. Removing Cats

    There is a lot of miss-information in this thread. The 2004 F150 has 4 cats 2 on each side, with the O2 sensors between the front and rear cats. You can cut the back 2 cats off and the computer will never know. I know multiple people who have done this mod, and I've been considering it as well...
  11. speaker size

    Ford says 5x7 speakers all around...I said screw that, I want 7" midwoofers. :D
  12. Fuel Injector problem?

    You have a 2005 F150 5.4? You are going to want to get that checked out immediately.In 2005 Ford tried to save a few bucks by switching suppliers for the injectors, and now their 2005 5.4 3Vs are notorious for having injector failures all over the place. Many have had new engines on Ford's...
  13. $250 Rotors?!

    You should see how much the rear axle adds.
  14. $250 Rotors?!

    Line them up? How about strap them up? Anytime, anyplace. Just let me know, we'll see whos boss. :D
  15. $250 Rotors?!

    in our IFS trucks, the steering wheel vibrates hard with warped rotors for some reason. A couple years ago I (stupidly) drove through a running river on a hunting trip and got crap in my brakes, warped the s*** out of my rotors. The steering wheel would go nuts when braking and the whole truck...
  16. Too good to be true?

    Its craigslist...that **** is probably stolen.
  17. questions about edge evolution or whats better

    Dont get the Edge. It can create unsafe A/F ratios for your engine, and makes the tranny act very weird. Trust me, I had one.Get custom tuning...on the dyno if possible. I got mine through Troyer Performance and have had 25k trouble free miles and a TON more SAFE power from my truck (proven on...
  18. tires>>> help

    With a leveling kit: Stock rims: 35x12.50 Aftermarket rims with less backspacing and wider than stock: 33x12.50 or 33x13.50Prepare to have rubbing, you'll need to trim the valence a little. These sizes are assume your truck is a 4x4.
  19. SCT Programer

    Custom tuning is the only way to go. Canned tunes are dangerous on these new trucks as the engines run lean from the factory and canned tunes run them leaner for more power. This is even more severe with an Aftermarket Intake.I had my truck tuned by Mike Troyer at Troyer Performance and these...
  20. Ford F-150 Raptor Ride Along

    Aftermarket will have them available, you will not be able to buy this Baja truck off the Ford showroom (especially the 500hp engine, no way Jose). Aftermarket will make the extra power possible, but I can guarantee you it will void your warranty...just like ANY other vehicle they offer.And if...
  21. Ford F-150 Raptor Ride Along

    http://www.topgear.com/us/blog/more/raptor-conquers-baja/"Baja is real man's motor racing; half of the trucks that start don't finish, so that the Raptor did is already impressive. But it did more than just survive, placing on the podium in Class 8 (as the truck isn't in production yet, it...
  22. Cell phone providers

    Meh, considering that Verizon provides better coverage at my parent's house in the Bay Area, at our Ranch in Lassen National Forrest, at my school in Davis, at my buddy's places in Tahoe and Carmel, Chico which i visit every month or so, many places up and down the Central Valley where I hunt...
  23. Ford F-150 Raptor Ride Along

    The basic drivetrain components are the same, but the internals have been upgraded for the Baja truck and the tuning is far more aggressive. in the video you also hear him say "this truck is bone stock with no tuning etc"....the Baja truck was modified BIG TIME.Hell my personal F150 has been...
  24. Ford F-150 Raptor Ride Along

    I wouldn't say smoked...it DID break down during the race. But regardless, not a bad performance. Still, it had a TON more money put into it than some of its competitors, and it WASNT close to stock. It had a performance tuned naturally aspirated 6.2 for well over 500 horsepower (stock is 400)...
  25. Ford F-150 Raptor Ride Along

    Send them the VIN and they can tell you anything about your vehicle.I dont understand why anyone would buy the Raptor unless they want the name. For the same price, you could easily buy a regular F150 4x4 with the 5.4, put better gears in it, put on a custom long travel suspension, build up...
  26. Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Pricing

    Have you sat in one of the 09s? The interior is spectacular, the seats are SUPER comfortable compared to older generations. It might be 26k sticker but you shouldn't have to pay that if you talk them down. Hell people were getting fully loaded 08 Lariat 4x4s for 25k OTD just a short while ago.
  27. Pics after all the add ons with the summer tires

    Agreed. Got stuck twice this past duck season. The clutch packs in my LS are completely shot, not helping me out. The new gears and locker will be very helpful. After 10k miles, mine haven't worn much at all. I should be able to get 50k easily (I rotate every 3k). We'll see, time will tell. So...
  28. Pics after all the add ons with the summer tires

    Most people who put mud terrains on these trucks today just want it for good looks on their lifted pavement pounders. This is why the Toyo MTs sell so well...they look good, wear well on the pavement, and arent too loud. The KM2s follow this as well, which is maybe a reason BFG switched. The...
  29. Pics after all the add ons with the summer tires

    Well I can tell you that is pure BS. The KM2s sound like ATs, super quiet. And with almost 10,000 miles on my set of 35" KM2s, they have barely worn at all. I'll easily get 50k or more out of this set. IMO the best MTs available. But like I said, I like the look of the MTZs.Chris has ridden in...
