at least you got your 2013 before Ford Decided to beat it with the same Ugly Stick they used on the Super Doody. good luck with the F-150, everyone on my Dad's side was Born and Raised on Fords ( my grandpa had a MINT '01 Extended Cab in Arizona Beige with only 51K on it! he sold it to my uncle Ted, where it was involved in a Multi-Car Collision and Totaled.)

I got AMPs on my truck and like them. I am ready for the new 14s so I can get one. But I can tell you that it too will have AMPs. They bare awesome. PITA to install on a Chevy with the door panel removal.

Really? I installed them on my 2010 Z (in my signature), I thought they were easy, just way too damn time consuming. And it's more difficult with only one person lol. This time I will have a buddy help.

curious what made you decide on 285/55/20's? just like the size better? an old neighbor of mine had a 2011 F150 with level and 305/55/20's and it looked fantastic.

The 285's were just sitting there at the dealership the night I bought the truck. A customer never showed to get the tires, so the accessories manager pretty much gave them to me as long as they could put them on that night before I left lol I think I payed $60 just for mount and balance. My next set will be a 305...... may be pretty soon just for the hell of it. I will then sell these that only have 6k on them.

They were as you say time consuming. Not hard. Needed a helper. This is funny. I did it at night and i was using a flashlight. When I got done I was looking for it only to realize I left the damn thing in the door. I was using the light to feed the wire tube through the rubber line and left it in the passenger door. I of course removed it. Not hard again but time consuming.

how hard was it to solder in the resistors for the LED turn signal lights(or did you even use them)?

 

 

What do you mean by turn signal lights??

i probably commented on this thread earlier, but that is an awesome looking truck. that style of F150's are great trucks and they look great with whatever the color matched package is. id consider an F150 next time around.

 

i hope that the new GM crew cabs will have comparable room to the F150's, the GMT900 CC's dont have nearly enough room in the back seat.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
