Dry fit.
New Toyos came in, going to build them when time permits over the next few weeks until the weather changes for the better.

Weather was nice this morning. Swapped the BAP grille for gloss painted STX grille.
Now anxiously awaiting install of my Forgestars once this weather is consistently better.

Have my 22" Forgestars mounted but made a mistake on tire size. Not a fan of the 40 series. Fortunately, Toyo has a 30 day trial return so I'm sending them back and getting a replacement 45 series.

At least I managed to mount my 23" F150 2009 Saleens to our Stealth Performance Expedition. I had these on the truck at first until I couldn't the fit the front +44 with 305s as they rubbed the aftermarket control arms.

I've had them PC'd black since then.

You need 50 series...

Too much sidewall I feel.
Waiting on 45s but while waiting, I swapped to another set.

I think it would feel the wells nice. I have always felt on SUV/trucks, unless it's lowered, it needs 50 or higher.

Uploaded the Livernois Performance tune this morning. Only a few miles on it so far.

Shifts smoother, no C/D, Rev limiter removed and speed limiter.

So far no major seat of the pants Performance improvement although I'm sure it's marginally quicker, feels like it in the higher RPMs.

Having to not flip into Tow/Haul mode every stinkin' time I start the truck is fantastic. Plus, now with the Trans tune, It's so much nicer than the T/H mode.

That and no C/D in itself is worth it.

Nice! I had a Livernois tune on my 2019 Limited. The transmission changes were more than worth the price. I have it on my list for this truck as well. It amazes me that Ford cannot figure out how to make the transmission shift properly, but a third party can. I would recommend their tune to anyone with a newer F150. BTW, what does C/D stand for?

 

[MJG44]

Cylinder Deactivation.
With an aftermarket exhaust it's very noticeable when flipping from V8 to V4.
To eliminate it, I'd change to tow/haul every time which deactivated C/D in the drive mode.

Ahhhh, I was not thinking that way. Probably because I ordered my current truck without that "feature". On my previous 2 trucks, I just deactivated it with Forscan. I guess the tuner would have done that as well, if I had not done it myself. It is an annoying feature. My wife still won't let me take it off of her Expedition Stealth.

I believe C/D is only on the 5.0 21+. Comes standard, you will have it, you need to tune it out.
Expy doesn't have C/D. We also have an SPP love that truck but it's been full of warranty issues.

Sorry, I was thinking auto stop/start. Trying to do too many things at once. I never really had any issues with that feature, but I only had it for 3000 miles. It went away when the programming for the Whipple was loaded. I could still benefit from the Livernois transmission tune.

Ordered a set of LED replacement tail light bulbs for my Halogens. The Morimoto tails have that BLIS logo stamped in them which has me not going through with an order.

Also waiting on a dragy to come in the mail, see how the Livernois tune performs in my truck.

Lastly, ordered a set of 45 series for the 22" Forgestars. I've grown accustom to my 24s again so not sure if I'll put the Forgestar on when the tires come back or put them on the Expedition.
