The upper side and tops of fenders turned out just like new. There were not as many dents there as on the hood and roof, but here were a lot (top and sides of doors too). This what it looked like before.
They did use PDR—they never mentioned the fenders specifically, but they did say they had...
Just to close this out. I got my truck back 2 days ago from the Paintless Dent Repair shop—it is immaculate! I am so impressed with the painstaking work they did. It’s hard to take a picture outside in cloudy weather, to show how clear all the panels are, but here are pics morning after it...
Many have shown interest in the 35 gallon extended range fuel tanks but have hesitated because of cost/availability.
The 35 gallon Long Range tanks are on sale at again at Long Range America, U.S. Distributor with an arrival date of 15 July 2026.
Your truck’s PCM can be reprogrammed for all...
That was exactly what I was thinking—but the timing is off. Besides a sound deadened, I need power for Radar detector, power and video cables for f/r dashcams, antenna cable for GMRS radio, and possibly power for a Starlink mini (possibly all those on a Bulletproof Diesel billet type of rear...
I like the looks of your Z. Sporty, but tasteful mods. Dude, after sitting in your car with the window shattered and rain and ice coming in—if that was me, I would need to see a psychiatrist for PTSD. I am almost there now, I stood on my front porch and watched the hail destroy my truck. I had...
Yes, I think the metal made a big difference in damage. The aluminum hood seemed to be a lot more resilient—it had far fewer dents than the ultra-thin roof, which was just a never-ending dent on dent. Aluminum usually has more plasticity and memory, and I think it shows on my truck.
There are...
Two weeks ago we had a Tornado pass within miles of our house. The high winds threw golf-ball sized hail over 70mph which destroyed the top and sides of my Ranger Raptor.
It just tears my heart to see my truck get pummeled so bad—and it didn’t even get damaged as bad as our new Lexus 450h+...
One of the key reasons stock vehicles use diverter valves instead of blow-off valves is because of emissions. On our trucks, the diverter valve is attached to the outlet pipe of the drivers side turbo (hot pressurized air side). When the valve opens, it diverts that hot, high pressure air to the...
Zombie,
I understand completely. When I originally researched the whole tune process, I thought it was easy to change tunes going from 93octane gas to e85 ethanol. Now that I have done it— It is not that easy, and all the learned data on each tune is erased every time you change back and forth...
I like to think out of the box. If all you want to do is get 10mph more—psych out the computer, use Forscan and recalibrate for 36” tires. That will add about 10% error to the speedometer under-reporting 110mph as 100mph—there is your 10mph without using a tuner/ending warranty, etc. It will...
Nathan, you did it again. I gotta have more power. This is a lot better torque curve than previous Turbobay upgrade. What is the turn-around time for a Powermax upgrade on my turbos.
Did you watch the last video from Freedom Work, with the hotline Titled the Truth about cold air intakes. He has some scientific studies that answer exactly what you are asking. He takes the data from several stock types of filters compares them to an aFe dry media, and an oil cotton K&N. He...
I finished this and hit send before I was going to show another member on here with a good write up on cross over pipes with good pictures Cross over Cold Air? take a look at his
I have seen a lot of questions lately about buying the best Cold Air Intake for our trucks and I think a lot of manufacturer advertising is pushing false issues of needs and wants. We are being convinced that what we have stock from Ford is inferior to these new shinny objects that range in cost...
Before you recalibrated did you also have quite a bit of “range” before the needle on the fuel gauge started to go down and quite a bit of range after the fuel gauge was at zero/Empty? Just curious
Yes it did. It stayed on full for about 60 miles, then, after it started to move, it dropped...
Guys, OP here with the NA version of the tank. Asked about fixing DTE and Jeffery helped with a referral to Cody with Stanghi. Highly recommend him to fix that issue and for tuning the truck. He did both for me and we had a beer and pizza after it was done. Awesome trustworthy guy...
