I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Removed the front Bilstein 5100’s I installed a few weeks ago and moved them from the forth notch down to the second notch. Then added a 1” lift spacer to accomplish a roughly 1.75” total lift. Rides so much better now!

[mention=195397]SS502[/mention] I'm a ducks fan too, just different sport.

[mention=186622]TXGREEK[/mention] I've had a few break ins with a number of vehicles, anywhere from trailhead to parking lots to work parking lots. I love my truck and I don't help myself by putting nice tires and such on it, but I'd rather not add any stickers that showcase I'm a gun owner, for numerous reasons. American flag is what I do.


I’m running with zero stickers. A buddy of mine had an America sticker on the back of his truck and the sticker got vandalized. Police said that it does happen from libtards or from outsider anti-American

Removed front struts bilstein,  installed Fox 2.5 coilovers 

Have you noticed a difference in ride with this setup? Softer or firmer than whatever is included with the zone (if you can recall)?

YES YES YES, That’s how you do it! Bravo

Can you take a pic of the number on your springs, the psi rating, I’m sure somewhere 600-750?

Yes , stock UCA.    I will be upgrading those in a month. I wanted to make changes one step at a time. Tonight or tomorrow I'm removing the rear bilstein and installing the fox .

Thank you, I will probably just do it all at the same time, then alignment and be done. Shout out to @TXGREEK for his help in me starting to understand this all.

Excellent job, better doing it step by step. So many people will just order everything at one time, better off step by step cause you know what you’re looking for after coil overs are installed.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
