  1. I had Toyo RT's on my F250 and loved them, but I will admit they they did spin a bit when the roads were wet after I got some miles on them. I always just assumed it was because the truck had nearly 1000ft/lb of torque.
  2. Truck looks great like that.
  3. Very nice solution. My '17 F250 had a button in the bed that turned on the bed led's which was awesome. It is still my favorite truck ever, just won't fit in my garage.
  4. How are you guys correcting your speedo's?
  5. I will give some different advice. I would leave at least one of the flappers. They are there to mitigate undesirable sounds coming from DFM and those sounds become very noticeable with a louder exhaust. I couldn't honestly tell much of a difference in volume between no flappers and adding one back, but could tell that some of the DFM silliness went away when it was added back.
  6. Have to agree, I was kind of looking forward to them coming out myself but ended up pulling the trigger on the Sierra beforehand because I got pissed with Ford over the OHC design flaws that have been in place for YEARS. The old 6.2 was one of the best engines they made, and the 5.0 was not a bad engine at all either but was lacking low-end grunt for a truck IMO. That 7.3 should be interesting given that they are returning to a pushrod motor, and tempting to anyone that likes 'old-school'.
  7. I have to agree that when tooling around town it makes the truck feel sluggish until you mash the go-pedal. Then it wakes up and accelerates very, very well for a truck of this size. To me, adding an aftermarket exhaust exacerbates all of this because you can now hear all of the different 'modes' the engine is going through with 10 different gears and varying degrees of cylinder participation depending upon load response. All in all, it is something I have to get accustomed to as this is the way of the future, the linear and confident pull of a V8 truck pulling on all cylinders all the time is something from the past.
  8. I was thinking the same thing. I've never seen anyone this passionate about DFM lol
  9. Good question, wondered that myself. Currently the 2019's are around 70% of those polled, 2020's are 15.4% of those polled.
  10. Glad to see everyone voting on this one. I do wish that if someone voted "no leak" and later experienced one they could change their answer.
  11. Yeah, I don't usually fill them out very much. I'm in the same area.
  12. Thanks man, just trying to give data to the masses
  13. Is that the first digit of the VIN?
  14. Mods.........can we get this stickied?
  15. Ok, I added some fields to help narrow down the results some but you almost need small if/then application to really do it correctly.
  16. Hey Mike, looks like we could be neighbors bud.
  17. Agree, it would tough to get but so much granularity when setting up the poll. It would take multiple questions to get what we need.
  18. Actually created a Poll to record this in the interests of statistics.
  19. This is simply a poll to record overall numbers of those reporting a rear window leak and those without.
  20. We should create a poll on this thread so that it can be easily seen how many people on the forum have this issue. Can we do that with this forum?
  21. Would have been good to see some before/after numbers but will be a great build nonetheless bud. I'm sure others have dyno'ed theirs in the past so you should be able to use those numbers as a rough base. Good luck on this one!
  22. I've personally had my eye on some Fuel Kicker's but can't stomach pulling the trigger on a new set of wheels when my current tires have ~400 miles on them. I think they would look great with the Red Quartz.
  23. I'm not usually a fan of that color wheel, but your truck looks awesome man. Congrats!
  24. Very nice, looking forward to some dyno numbers. Did you get a baseline before?
  25. Great video find, bumping it TTT so other new members can find this easily for comparison purposes.
