I buy most things used as well. I think the only things I have bought new are my camper shell and my SCT programmer. I understand the rest, I was just curious.

I have decided to just keep the Raptor wheels and find some 315/70R17 or 35x12.50R17s

All are similar sizes, but I think the 315s tend to run a tad small compared to a true 35x12.50

I wish there was a 305/75/17

I would also consider a 295/75/17 (34.4x11.6), but I like having a 12.50 for a wider footprint

I need to buy new TPMS for these Raptor wheels.


I figure that FoMoCo parts will be the best route and they are only $45 for a set of 4, online.


To save money, I would like to buy the TPMS and install them myself


Is it easy as popping them into place? Which way should they be oriented on the wheel?


Is this all I need?

JMS Boost Max and Pedal Max are removed and sold, going to try something else

Pedal Commander has better reviews, results, and superior customer service

According to Ford, here is the part number (from a VIN search):


9L3Z-1A189-A
315 MHZ


I have an oil change coming up and found a great deal on Motorcraft spark plug for $36 shipped. I am currently at 14,000 miles on these plugs, so changing them now is early, but it will prevent me from doing the plugs in the winter

Did your mileage go back up when you put the boost max back to stock or do you think it still took off a few mpgs?

Pedal Commander for the win

Not even comparable to the JMS Pedal Max

The Pedal Commander has so many level of adjustment and blows away the JMS Pedal Max

The Sport and Sport+ mode are insane

The JMS uses a kind of strange dial ****, which is pigtailed into the Pedal Max

The Pedal Commander has a nice mount, is very compact and is much nicer..............all for $250
