Very good advice!!

 

Yeah i hate to be the downer but thats what I wish I had done instead of spending a ton of money on mods at first. Just my 2 cents!

 

reason why i didnt mod my ranger at first

 

the fiddy looks good... so you decided to let the ranger go did ya?? i thought it was "official" your keeping the ranger???? haha.. good luck.. that is why my ranger is still in "stock" form, i have a hard enough time just trying to pay for the damn thing!!

 

I would keep the ranger.

 

Well it's sad, but congrats. You've put a lot of work into the ranger, but it has been mostly repairs.
There is a big difference between upgrades and repairs, and repairs definitely make you want to get rid of it.

Though I have to say I HATE the hood on the F150. lol

 

there is a kid here on campus who has that exact truck minus the hood scoops, same rims and everything. Makes me drool.

 

Ditch the hood, ditch the rims, and leave it alone.

 

I want more pics of that F150!!! NOW!!! OMFG!

 

Heres some more

 

ProCharger Self-contained Superchargers and Intercooled Supercharging Systems . They have a killer line up just for that paticular truck. Sweet truck man.

 

that's killer. Doesn't Roush Performance make a supercharger for that truck? I'm pretty sure he does and if I'm not mistaken he claims it doesn't void the warranty on it too.

 

haha yeah, i will have to see the hood in person.. and yeah, although i have spent well over 6K in Upgrades.. But hey, its all good, i had fun with it while i had it.

Great advice trent! I am trying to get deployed as soon as i get to hurlburt which will pretty much pay off ALL my debt

Yes, you have to have it installed by the dealership for it to retain warranty though. I think that truck is out of warranty anyway so thats not a concern

 

haha Trent beat me too the pics.. Thank you Sir!

And yes, Roush makes a kit for the F150, but it doesnt make as much power as the Ford Racing Whipple kit, and its about the same price..

yes, it has to be installed by a 'Ford approved mechanic".. And the truck is under warranty until 75K, which i will see if i can get that extended until 100k

 

Make sure the warranty is transferable. It should be but just in case. I wouldn't bother extending it, with a tuner, lift and big tires you voided like 80% of it anyway lol. I regret getting one on mine.

 

it is, and as far as i can tell from what he has told me, everything that he has needed done, the ford dealership has done with no complaints.. Except for the 4X4 silinoids..

 

I thought so. what about a Ken Belle Intercooled Twinscrew supercharger? That would be kool. It will probably cost alot more too though.

 

well the Ford Racing Whipple kit is a a twin screw as far as i know all whipple superchargers are twin screw, which gives it an advantage over the eaton on the roush kit

 

I don't think there is a Kenne Bell kit for the 5.4 3v. I know there is for the older Lightning 5.4 but not the newer 5.4

 

Thanks for the info man. I finally found 2 engines out of a salvage yard but haven't had time to go and get some pics of what I found yet. And right now money is indeed tight. Too tight. I may have to give up my internet before long. I wish like hell I had the money to do a swap. It's killing me man.

 

I thought he had a new kit for that engine. In fact I think he's got one for the 4V out too. I'll check on that later. Right now I have to get off here and take care of some business. I'll see you guys later on tonight.

 

According to his website theres not one for the 04-08 F-150. Theres one for the Mustang but thats not the same motor.

 

Oh ok. different motor setup. He might be developing one though. I'll be on here a while googleing the new 5.0 engine. My uncle said that there was something in a local paper about it this morning. GM is calling it Ugly Coyote. He also said that they're already running negative ad campains too and the damn thing hasn't even been release yet. I think GM's worse nightmare is about to come true. God only knows what Ford is getting ready to release yet. That's the scary part. Did they release a small piece of info or all of it? That's a question that only Ford can answer.

 

that is the illest f150 ive ever seen and i love the hood only thing id ditch is the tonneau cover.
