Added some safety triangles to the truck. In over 50 years of driving, there has probably only been two or three times when I could have or should have used something like this but never had them. Hopefully they will just stay in the box and I'll never need them. I was going to stash them behind the seat but would need to take all three out of the carry case and stuff them back there in random places. So, for now anyway, they can live in the carry case under the seat.
Had the Carli Commuter level kit installed which included springs, adjustable track bar, fox shocks, sway bar drop down brackets, bump stop drop brackets, extended brake lines, and caster shims. It still has a little over 1" rake which is what I was looking for. For some reason my heic photos won't upload.

Ive been doing stuff yet not doing stuff. Had my truck in the driveway for about 4 nights in 5 weeks. A suspension company was working on some new reverse level multi leaf packs so it was there for a couple weeks, Then tint, Bed liner, and now shes in the driveway.
Currently she has a reverse level Deaver Spring pack. Makes the ride great but wont be staying. This truck is getting a 3.5" PMF Suspension treatment with 2.5" Fox shocks. This ride is killer.
Tinted windows ceramic limo tint all the way around and ceramic 30% on sunroof
LINE-X Premium spray in bed liner
Tremor Valance
Replacement Ford Hub for passenger side
Amp Steps
Paint to match the grill and bed steps. This is needed for every truck.
Black Ford Emblems
Mounted the Toyo MT 37-13.50-17" tires on the Raceline Avenger 2.0 wheels. I stripped the clear off the wheels and fully polished them and then got billet center caps for the wheels cause the black ones look like ***.
Tomorrow she goes to get ceramic coated and the lift will go on next week.
Sneak peak of some mods and the wheels mounted. The side shots is reverse leveled and then jacked up to where it will be.
I installed the Banks 5” Monster exhaust and then took the truck to Arod from the Powerstroke Tech Talk YouTube page and let him install my S&S DCR, Pusher Intake, and Pusher hot & cold side pipes. Couldn’t be happier
I thought normal operation of the fog lights was for them to come on, if selected by the fog light switch, when the headlights are on in low beam. And I thought Bambi mode enabled the fog lights to also come on when the headlights were on in high beam. I thought the whole point of using Bambi mode is to allow the fog lights to come on when the headlights were on in either high or low beam. So if you wired your driving lights to your fog light connector AND enabled Bambi mode AND left your headlight switch in Auto, wouldn't you have your driving lights on anytime your headlights are on, high or low beam, regardless of speed?
You could always just turn off the fog light switch if you didn't want the driving lights on for some reason.
Happen to be revisiting this today and just now caught my mistake.
Yes, you are correct, bambi mode allows you to run the fogs with the high beams on.
I'm currently reworking the lights by changing out the combo lenses for SAE clear fog lenses and also swapping the front lights back over to the factory fog light switch. Even though the upfitter switch is easier to find, it bothers me that the factory fog light switch and dash indicator currently do nothing. I moved the rear Diode Dynamics over from upfitter switch #2 to #1, which is the only switch being used now.
Hey @gSwift ,
What kind of improvements (if any) did you notice with the intake and exhaust upgrades?
Thanks
Has a much deeper engine tone after the intake swap. You can hear (and see) the turbo better, and the throttle response is much improved. I had to turn my Banks Pedal Monster down several settings due to it being pretty snappy. As for the exhaust, even with all that, there’s still not much sound improvement from the exhaust, but I didn’t really expect there to be since it still has all the emission crap.
