Fits nicely right there on your truck. I suspect my column shift would be in conflict a bit there. Very nice.

I bought some brackets for $10, so I can mount a "hidden" 30"-32" LED bar behind the grill

Finally re-wired the cap, the LED lights inside, the third brake light, and ran a 12G power wire for the 3 hole outlet......which will supply power for two Streamlight flashlights

12.0-12.2 Volts when the truck is off and the gauge jumps to 14.3 at idle

While I was under the driver side frame rail, running the power line.........I noticed this bracket:

Almost like a slide in camper tie down, but there isn't one on the passenger side. Any idea?

Thankfully I will now have lights in the bed, which will come in handy for changing clothes during this hunting season

Well today I decided to finally inspect the undercarriage to try to locate a "thud" noise that I have been hearing for the last 3-4 months

It really only happens on acceleration and seems to be on the driver side floorboards areas

I know there are numerous complaints about the rear driveshaft slip yoke, but the only real way to tell this is to take off the driveshaft, pull the boot and see if its dry.......something I will let the dealership do under warranty

I checked the rear axle u-bolts, and they are tight

I jacked each from tire up off the ground and checked the ball joints, tie rod ends, and the sway bar end links..........all were tight

Any other ideas ?

This truck sucks in the snow, with or without the rear e-locker

Slides all over the place and the mileage is horrid

I have a nasty clunk in the front and also in the rear

Ford better fix this POS, and not just with greasing the rear slip yoke splines

Spring time might bring me a new truck

Add about 400lbs to the rear end of the truck. it wont slide so much. Any truck will be light and sliding in the snow. Just part of having a truck. Yes, definitely hold ford accountable on the clunk something is definitely wrong with that mine don't clunk.

I have an ARE cap, that is 250+ pounds

Additionally, I have all my hunting gear in the bed all day and winter long...... Easily another 100 pounds

The two milk crates with misc items.

Plenty of weight.......Still slides all over

How are you liking the Pedal Commander? How does this compare to a custom tune, what parameters does it change on the truck? I haven't looked into it too much yet, but it looks like you can resell it when you are done, it is not specific to one truck like a custom tune would be.

I love the Pedal Commander, ten times better than the JMS


I do not know how it compared, since I only have the JMS product to compare it to


Not detected and does not void warranty........easy 10 min install.
