Quiet noise? LOL, ok, I'll explain.

My rig dropped a rear pad the last couple days of January. I ordered the replacement rotors and pads for it a few days later, and they shipped out from Jersey, so it took awhile to receive them. In the mean time, Pete came over and we pulled my HPOP and I sent it off to Joey at Terminator Engineering to be modded.

I've been driving my wife's Excursion (she had knee surgery and is laid up) while my truck was down, but on Monday I had to drop the Ex off at the body shop to be repaired from when it got hit by a Honda awhile back.

AAA is providing a rental for me and they tried to give me a Nissan truck, which I declined. My local Hertz has really good customer service though and they were able to get me a 2010 F150 to drive while the Ex is in the shop.

That truck is QUIET!

I mean, the silence is freaking deafening!

I hated it.

Yesterday I actually had some time and wasn't slammed with work so after I replaced the alternator in my '03 F150 (son's truck), I slapped the rear brakes and rotors on my truck, replaced the passenger side caliper, bled the line, and took off for a PSD fix!

Oh man I missed the sound of my 38R spooling...my single shots injecting...my engine dieseling...well, you get the idea!

I still have to deadline my truck again because the axle seal is leaking on the drivers side and needs to be replaced, but I'll do that next week.

Oh yeah, the modded 17* HPOP feels great. Absent any data logs (Pete has my AE), the power feels like it comes on smoother, it seems to pull better through the RPM's, and it definitely comes off the line quicker.

Thats cool that everything is coming together..

Also a sweet deal you got the 2010 f 150 over the nissan..

 

Yeah, but it took a little bit to get used to the lack of power, speed, and performance.

Every time I drive my Ranger, I tend to hold the starter a little longer, not hearing the growl like my 7.3. I know what you mean.

 

When ever I drive a gasser ,I find myself sitting there for a moment waiting for the GP's ( oops)

 

Yup! Always.

Stewart, in what way did you modify your HPOP? I've got a bad case of PMS and very little money, so a cheap mod is what I'm looking for right now, even if it doesn't do much. Will this give me my fix?

 

I pulled it and sent it to Joey at Terminator Engineering!

Thanks Stewart! That is intriguing. I'll have to add it to the list!
