'11 F250 "Build" thread

Hey guys, some of you may know (I'm not sure how many, there's a lot of people here!) that in February I became the proud owner of a 2011 Super Duty. It's an XL, regular cab with the 6.2L Gas engine.

Here's how it was as I drove it home:


First mod that came was 35% tints on the side and rear windows, which is the CT state max tints.


Next on the mods list came OEM fogs from eBay and a Ford dealer in Ohio. It was 100% plug and play, it came with the harness, switch, everything.




Then I ordered an exhaust, intake, and plow in the same week. Last week, the Intake came on Wednesday. It's an Airaid, easy install and it was well worth it. Seemed to open it up a little and started to pull in some better economy.


This past Saturday I had the plow installed by my uncle, who works at a Fisher dealer. It's an 8ft Fisher HD series plow, with a cutting edge.




Tonight the exhaust showed up courtesy of UPS. It showed up about a week before I was expecting it! It's a dB by Corsa dual kit, PN 24391. It's listed for only crew cabs but fit like a glove. The hardest part of the install was getting the old one out really. This was put in tonight and I only have two pictures of it since it wasn't finished 'till well after dark. It's very quiet still, cruising it's no louder than stock but then when you get on it, it really makes a nice note.




No other mods are planned for right now but I will post more if I do them!

Nice looking truck. So how does it perform with a 6.2?

So you see a difference with the Airaid intake? Thinking of getting the same one.

Thanks a lot guys!

Sparky- My previous truck was an 08 F150 supercab with a 5.4 and I can tell you this truck is ten times better (I was plagued with reliability issues with the F150). I'm getting roughly 3mpg more with this truck over the F150 (11.5 vs 13.8). It has great power, I'm very impressed with it. I did want a diesel but never got the chance to drive the diesel in a regular cab, and I didn't really want to swing the extra 8k knowing how Ford's last two diesels were.

kmonty- Nothing that would give you a noticeable increase. I guess when you do it with an exhaust it helps open it a lot. Seems a little more responsive at speed, and the intake noise is much louder than stock. It sounds pretty cool. Plus my mpg's went up a little bit, about .2 mpg so far. Granted I've only had it for a week so I don't really know.

I ordered them as a kit on eBay from Fairway Ford in Ohio (ebay name fairforme). It's 100% plug and play, the harness is included and plugs in to a connector that's under the radiator. It also includes the updated switch for the fog lights, buckets and bezels.

Fog Lights

Thanks for the info on your fog light install. I am waiting on my 2012 F250 4X4 XL and already scoped out the same kit on Ebay. I did see a recommendation that this be installed by a dealer. Did you run into any issues or need special tools?
