Great vid! ...... '17 5.0 Super Crew here. I also went through all the fluids, (front / rear diff, trans, t-case, brake fluid, coolant to yellow from orange, and fluid film the frame in November each year due to living in New England... I did all of this to start with a fresh maintenance base point when i picked up my truck used with 50k. Maybe you hit this already, but I wanted to mention to not forget about bleeding the brakes with fresh fluid as it is such an easy maintenance item. Interesting profession you have there. I bet you have tons of stories. Lastly, In my opinion, some of the best F150 models are the 5.0's from '15 to '17 I Love these years. Stay safe....

I knew a guy that had a spectrometer and went over each cylinder before and after the K&N, he noticed a .02 micron accumulation of particles in the engine and said that only the absolute best of KZfaq mechanics would find it. He wasn’t as concerned, but he only went to an online school to take courses in terrorist negotiations for people that do them in less than stressful circumstances, so not sure how much I trust his analysis?

Gosh I wish we didn't get snow up here and the resulting salt on the roads......... plays havoc with the frame and workings. I have a fleet of 14 XLTs right now and my personal truck is currently a '22 Lariat 502A Powerboost hybrid. Absolutely love it!

I had a 2015 F150 that I put 93,000 miles on. Other than a back window that let water pour through into the cab, it was a much better truck than the 2019 F-150 or the 2022 F-150 that I've owned since. It seems with each iteration Ford works to take cost out but it comes out at the expense of taking quality out as well.

But just recently, my last service, I had to have the rear rotors turned because they were warped and cause the pedal to bounce against my foot while stopping.

would like info on that factory wire and how you installed the amp and sub. truck for sure need some better sound.

@DownShifting76 Жыл бұрын

You will need to remove the black plastic trim on the drivers side floor front and rear doors. Per what I used. Use the BROWN and RED STRIE wire on the existing harness / connector (Hidden beind the drivers side passenger area door 3rd pillar) (This is normally used for OEM Sony Power AMPS) for both the SPAND sub and AMP. This makes for a much more simple and clean install. No going straight to the battery for 12V and it powers up great. There is no need to penetrate the firewall or wire under the hood. Route both of the 12V power wires to both Amps back to the 3rd pillar. This will allow the use of the OEM connector (Brown/Red wire) for the Amps. This will provide more than enough power for the Kicker audio system. Hope this helps!

Hey Justin thank you for watching! I have read various reports on the VCT issues. For servicing, I have justified in my mind anyway spending the extra cash on Red Line oil and K&N filters at every oil change since I know the Ford recommendations are also based on the cost of ownership and environmental sales marketing. Hopefully, the better oils and filters will pay for themselves in the long term. The Omega tunes are extremely impressive considering such a simple install!

As long as the owner cares, is willing to pay attention, and puts out some effort basically any new vehicle sold can have a long and useful lifecycle.
