HD Tails came in today, will get pictures up soon! Also ordered a shorty antenna

 

Cant wait to see the tails. I have the same color and really like what you've done with yours

 

here you go sir. Milt you like the new sticker?

 

Tails look great!

 

Thanks! Should be trying to get tint this week! I think I'm going to just get 20 on the driver and passenger side to match the back

ALSO: Lining up a job at Con-Way freight as a trailer mechanic which means bring on the mods!

 

Cleaned her up and polished her, getting tint in the next day or 2. Found this on CL- Legit?

EDIT: Might Skip the sketchy CL guy and pick one up I found brand new sealed in box for $125. How much does a tune from mike at 5Star cost?

 

I'm sure it's locked.

Justin @ VMP Tuning charges $60 a tune.

 

How much does it cost to get it unlocked?

 

Are we talking shops that actually DYNO TUNE or ones that run the programmers canned or even "E-Mail" tunes? Justin sent me 3 tunes for my 5.4L and they ALL PINGED HARD. They were 89 octane tunes and still pinged on 91. I called him up and he said "take out some timing" - I'm like OK thanks, I knew that - but again that's the extent of his "fix" - There is NOTHING like having YOUR truck on the rollers, not one like it. I learned that the hard way. Way too many variables, cond of motor, state of tune, type of gas, wheel/tire/gearing combos, does my intake/exhaust outflow the one he was using etc etc. For the same price I made 5 pulls on a roller. Come to find that my VMP tune had too much timing and not enough fuel (duh!) so whether it was Vegas' gas, 2800ft elevation (which richens up A/F R) or my stuff out-flowed his, it was dyno-tuning that got it exactly right. You're not far from Dallas where there are a TON of shops putting out fast Fords. Last month was the opening round of "Fun Ford Weekend" in TX, trust me you will not have a hard time finding a good tuner in that state.

SCT charges $150 to unlock them IIRC -

Justin will package tunes together for you. I paid $130 for 3 IF you decide to go that route.

 

Wow, thanks for all of that. Do I need a tuner to have it Dyno'd?

Also, got 20% up front today

 

Nope.

 

Ordered everything I need to finally have my fog lights wired up, except the wiring harness haha. Anyone know where I can get one? DO these ones work?

7lug did you ever datalog the truck and send the datalog to Justin? If you thought you were having issues than it exactly what you should of done.

If you want to have it simply dyno'd, no.

If you want to have it dyno tuned, of course.

 

NO...what I did do was call him. Did he mention DL or anything else to help? Nope... He said "take out some timing" and that's it - Again...Driving around with your laptop, creating a file that you send to a guy who is notoriously long (not as bad a Troyer) to get tunes to you, then hope he fixes it and do it all over again if its not. Yeah like I said, NOTHING is as exact for your truck as dyno-tuning

 

Yes I meant Dyno tuned
