What did you do TO your F-150 today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

[Kodiak]

You are correct, the combined direct and port should reduce valve buildup. However, since we still have port injection, some fuel and oil from the feedback could still be mixed behind the valve and attach itself before combustion, while less likely thanks to dual injection, still possible.

While it may be overkill in the grand scheme of things it is pennies. Pay some extra pennies for overkill, sign me up all day long.

I'm lugging the mags with me to Iowa when my truck comes in and bringing a sheet to lay down on the ground. I don't want to dirty up my shirt. The truck is leaving the dealership with those on the filter before I drive home 1100 miles. I am sure I will do the catch shortly after I am home, maybe the Bilsteins first though.

I just got the “Thank you for your business!” paper floor mat out of the passenger foot well and laid on that. 5.0 oil filter was super easy to access. Took seconds to apply before the 600 miles home.

HA! Good thinking, I never even thought of that. I'll still bring a sheet just in case.

The PB will take a little more fiddling though.

What magnets are you using?

The only ones I'm coming across are $100 or so on amazon and up to $200 elsewhere.

Try this thread and go toward the end of the thread (Page 2+). This will give you guidance to save about a $100+ bucks and make your own. Reply to that thread if you have any questions I can help with.

$400 plus a family day trip to Orlando to meet the seller (which cost as much or more than the running boards...lol)

I actually love them and they are probably the best thing I've added to the truck so far. (Ok may be tied with the line-x)

I've seen them new for $900 or so, and I found plenty of raptor ones (same running boards, they just say Raptor instead of Ford) for around $400 shipped, so probably not a great deal, but worth it imo. Gonna sell my old ones or give them to my son-in-law.

Just when I thought I was done spending money on my truck…this looks much better than the ones that came with my sport package

Full set of TuxMats. I considered Weathertech HP and Maxpider 3D but decided on something a little different. Almost a perfect off-black shade match to the off-black Lariat Sport interior. They come with all kinds of clips but I let them get good and hot out in the 90 degree sun on concrete and they laid in nicely. I'll give it a few weeks and see if any clips are needed. They do cover more than any mats I looked at and so far I'm pretty impressed. Foam layer inside is supposed to also provide some sound deadening, not that I felt it needs it. Got to me in MI from Canada in just 3 days, right around $210 shipped for the set.

They look very similar to mine, the OEM accent colour boards. Look great

After missing the 2022 order cutoff and not wanting to wait until February...or July next year if I ordered a 2023, I ended up getting lucky with a truck on a dealer lot. It was 95% or so what I would have e ordered...some extra stuff, one missing item: tailgate step. I used the one on my 2020 maybe 8 times in two years so not a big deal. Just in case though I installed the aftermarket $20 version.

Now I feel really stupid for paying $1,000 for the bed utility package just get the step and the bed light. Can’t stand that stupid power tailgate that comes with it as a package.

I don't think most people get any use out of those inexplicably locking Boxlink cleats either. I think I paid $25 for a set of 4 still in the blister pack. There are dozens if not hundreds of sets on Ebay.

I do like them but they are a strange design.

Lol, I may be among the few that loves the fully powered tailgate. It's a big reason I 'upgraded' from an XLT 302A to a Lariat 500A.

I'm a solo traveller, whenever I hitch my 5th-wheel trailer I must lower the tailgate, back partway under the trailer, then raise the tailgate before backing to the hitch position (and the same in reverse when unhitching). Being able to raise and lower the tailgate from the driver's seat (and see it with the bed-cam) is a very welcome step-saver!

(my 21 ft Escape 5th wheel is 'close-coupled' to my truck, the lowered tailgate doesn't 'clear' the front of the trailer when hitched)

Also ordered a bottle of touch up paint. Detailing my truck the other day and noticed a rock chip on front bumper. I may have to look at getting some sort of protective coating on the front of truck. My 2014 has chrome bumpers and don't have issues with chips like this.
