What's new

🛠️ What have you done to your F150 Tremor this week?

Got around to installing my Putco emblem. Because of the size of the openings on the grill I was able to do the install without removing panels or the grill itself.

Installed the onboard air compressor to my builtright panel this weekend. Ran out of wire so didn’t finish grounding the sub panel I wired in the bed. But other than that, it’s ready to go. I’m pretty pleased with how clean it came out.

I also received what I think is an awesome piece of artwork!

Added a set of 20" fuel blitz in dark tint finish. +20 offset with 295/70/20 toyo open country at3's. I dont rock crawl, so went with 20's and still have capability to get in snowy cottage roads. Truck seems a little more planted on the highway. Dark tint finish seems to change colour depending on light, sometimes its gold, sometimes it looks black.
 
Does it include a harness that is plug and play (id presume it daisy chains into the headlight housing?)
They do make a harness, but its extra. It's what I ended up going with, and you are correct, it goes between the headlight and stock harness.
 
Finally got around to adding the (6) waterproof extensions wires to the upfitter wires behind the battery. I got them from Specialty Performance Parts. Worth it, makes the addition of accessories easy.

Excellent. Seems like "the right way" to do it.
 
Got dirty.

I installed the Mishimoto intercooler on my 2023.
Have to hand it to Mishimoto. Their packaging is great. Box arrived damaged and all beat up. This end up must not translate into Spanish. (Thanks for nothing, Mexican DHL:mad:)
But the contents were safe.;)

Install was super easy. It took me a couple of hours. I did not even have to jack the truck up. I lifted the new one up into place with my motorcycle jack.

The only hitch I ran into was upon installing the BOV and bracket, it was loose and did not seal correctly.
I solved this by installing two new O-rings in place of the factory (Red) one. I e-mailed the Mishimoto Tech Dept. about this and will post up if I get a response.
EDIT: While typing this, I got an e-mail from them saying they had created a ticket and would be in contact.

I also removed the top two louvers for the shutter system. This was pretty easy as only the bottom one is connected to the server. The middle and top ones are mechanically linked to the lower one. (No codes)

Haven't had a chance to drive it much yet. The one time I did I noticed that the AIT's were lots better than before. I noticed about 5 deg C above ambient most of the time. Even when they heated up sitting in traffic, they came right down once I started moving.
I am sure that in addition to the cooler, the removal of the two louvers helped substantially with this.

All in all, very happy with the results.

I hear back from Mishimoto:

FJ,
Thank you for your email. Our apologies as we have not yet had the opportunity to confirm fitment (or if Ford had any changes to the 2023 BOV) of our MMINT-F150-15. Excellent news that you were able to come up with a creative solution. You may be interested in our MVP program for future product development. Thank you for the feedback. We are always here to help and support our customers. Please feel free to follow up with any additional questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help!

Thank you,

Anybody know if the BOV was changed for 2023? Their site list this for the 2023.
Anyway, all's well that ends well. 🤞

Installed heated steering from a 23 Raptor. Wiring to power the heated wheel and for the paddle shifters to work was already in place. New steering wheel + SCCM + a couple of Forscan changes, done in about 25-30 minutes

I’ve always loved the yellow fog + black truck combo. Found some vinyl I added to the fogs and loving the look. Also installed tonneau cover which is awesome, first time having one.

Level going on next weekend. Then come the 35s and new wheels 😎
