Wow man, your truck looks great! Love the progress from day one. Anything new to it as of late? Hows the stereo sound and how are the painted bumpers holding up?
Awesome Thanks!
Only thing new is an S&B Cold Air Intake sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. The paint on the bumpers looks flawless... I did clear bra the front to keep it protected. The Stereo is just now broken in and has to be experienced, lets just say people that get in the truck and hear the Sound Quality of the mids and highs and bass from my "Little" 8" subs are Amazed.
S&B Cold Air Intake installed and loving it!!
Ive waited a couple weeks with a mixed range of driving before posting and the results are in....
+1.5 - +2 mpg for the last 2 weeks with only 1 reset on the instant display and I have 21000 miles and drive an average of 800-1000 miles a week right now. I had the AFE drop in stock replacement and mpg dropped about .5 from stock and now with the S&B it's up from stock significantly and feels like it pulls a little harder under wot. Has a little more in Cab engine noise now too, which I like but not loud or annoying.
Work stand 👍😉
Only about 6 tools and 3.5 hours (taking my time) to install.
Yes, the consumer truck builder doesn't catch that issue. If you will click on the i info button you see the 3.55 locker requires 20" wheels. And he could not put the order in for 3.55 w/o the 20s.
Sorry to the OP for the sidetrack.
Thats not true. I know because my F350 was ordered with the 3.55 electric locking rear. I left the stock 18's on it due to wanting aftermarket 22's and 37's. It's a Lariat Ultimate CC short bed FX4 and I also ordered the camper package which is the stiffer springs. I'm pretty sure when I selected the FX4 pkg it added the 3.55 gears and other sized tires, but wheels stayed the same as 18's

do you have to do any tuning with this intake to take advantage of it or does the truck work fine in stock ecu form?
By the way Chad great looking truck, makes me wish I had ordered a two tone
Thanks!

No tuning required. No change at all in driving characteristics besides it feels like it accelerates a hair quicker but the best part is that I'm up to 17.1-17.6mpg from 15.1-15.6mpg that I've been averaging for 21000 miles now and I've still been driving just as heavy footed as always.
Also removed the vinyl wrap from bumpers because color was to far off and had them painted. Had the badges repainted like they were suppose to be (painter didn't listen the first time). Added Putco chrome window accents and Putco stainless steel door sill plates.
Nice truck! I could tell right away that was Diffee from your pics, we buy from them quite a bit. Do you happen to have the part # for the Putco stainless steel door plates?
