Oh I suppose. I forget how many posts you need before you can get a sig. There are a couple guys from the metro area. None in Fridley I know of. No swap meets or anything planned that I know of as of now.

Not really. I have it but never really messed around with it. HP junkie aka Cory has been gone on vacation but once he checks back in I would ask him. He has messed around with it quite a bit.

The EB stands for EcoBoost.

Found I had one connector for the high pressure fuel pump that I didn't get plugged in tight enough. I had to take a few things off to get to it but it's all back together and plan to try again after work.
Any luck? Seems like it's always something. Lol

Evening guys!

I did have luck Jay! Got the dually fired up. Runs great so far. Only have about 20 miles or so on. Then had to drop the break in oil and and get some fresh oil in it. Should get some more miles on this weekend.

Slick '13

Finally back from bodyshop. Was thinking of getting front leveling blocks for struts?! Any problems with that?

This your truck? This in an extra cab, not supercrew. Still nice truck. I like the rims. We have a 12 supercrew with the 5.0. I'm pretty impressed by that engine for power.

Unfortunately I don't know much about leveling options. Nice looking truck.

Good morning fellas!

Ugh! This weather sucks! I tried to drag back some sun and heat but no luck! I'm ready to retire and move warmer for the winter! Too bad I have some time until that happens.

Not that I know of on the blocks. My '17 was leveled when I got it and that is what the previous owner used. I have had no issues in the year and a half I have owned it. Nice looking truck!

wait a few more years and MN will be warm like Florida. All Kerry has to do is keep flying around in his private jet to tell everyone that they are environment assassins'.
