Last thing I would want is a hump in my box and raising the bed would be too much work. Just gonna leave it. I actually use the thing so I don't want to kill any practicality.

Good. I have seen some pretty nasty looking ones. Even the ones that are well done.

I just downloaded 28 wiring diagrams for my truck. Fordification saves the day yet again. I can't help but wonder what you old farts did back in the day if you didn't have a repair manual handy.

Most likely a lot of trial and error. I used alldada for a while. That was for my 03 though.

I've used Alldata. It's pretty helpful, I gotta admit, but it's damn expensive to buy.

I found my owner's manual online. I'm a bit surprised that my wheel torque is only 60-90 lb-ft. (How precise!) Anything 5-bolt these days is 90lb, with the exception of trucks being about 110lb. I have mine now at 100lb.

Yep alldata is expensive. I had it for a year then let it run out. I find 60 to 90 lbs. kind of humours. I guess close is good enough. On my 03 the torque is 142 lbs.

I like that engine. Just gotta do a couple things to it first.

My buddy blew an impeller blade through his turbo on his 6.0 today. Picture.

A wee bit of JB weld and all should be good.

The zoodad is basically a ram air intake, right?

Basically it's just making the hole the same size as the inlet for the air intake. The original hole is about half that size.
