Been awhile since I did an update. Got some goodies in, some of it was even installed. Haven't mustered up the required care factor yet to install some.

Installed:
Gearheads SRL Tune
MBRP "Test" Pipe
Glowshift Gages (Fuel Press, Boost, EGT, Oil Press)
Scangauge II
Black Chrome Exhaust tip (5" by 12")
Bushwacker Pocket Flares
Custom Mudflaps using Ford floormats
Waiting, but I'm lazy
MBRP 3.5" Downpipe
XScorpion Voltmeter
Ford Blue Spring Upgrade Kit (one with new cover)
6.4 Banjo Bolts

What do you do with the 6.4 banjo bolts? I've seen them on multiple 6.0 build lists and I have no idea what they are.

theyre an un proven mod but many think the stock 6.0 bolts restrict flow to some injectors at WOT and the 6.4 are supposed to not do this.

Stock bolts have a ball check valve...but holes are drilled that allow flow to bypass the ball. Supposedly there to prevent fuel fluctuations

The 6.4 bolts are exactly the same looking, but no check valve.

For $14 I'm willing to try while I'm in there doing the blue spring

Nah, keeping them as is to maintain some contrast. To me they emulate the 04-08 F-150 FX4 flares.

Finally got my fuel door today. Pics later though

Okay makes sense now. I figured it was somewhere in the fuel rail, injectors or pump.

Gotta bump it up and ask where you got the decals and how much. Been looking so i can round out my 08+ rear end look

I'll pass on PTM, my 06 F-150 had PTM bumpers. Big mistake on Fords part. Looks great, but doesn't hold up so well in practical use. I drove 5,000 miles round trip during a snowstorm. Front bumper was tore up pretty good and started rusting 2 months later. Had to spot sand/paint that sucker and periodically go back and touch-up every few months
