Great customer service from UPR though, I told them that and I need to send them pictures see what's the problem. Maybe I have done something wrong, maybe I did not rotate the can itself the right way, I don't know...

Did you had a hard time to close the hood or it touches but it doesn't affect anything when your trying to close it?

Let me know please.

Thank you.
I was supposed to get the one that goes into the airbox but I got the one with the T fitting. It still works so I wasn't too concerned. What I did was rotate the can as far to the driver side as possible then get the hoses to lay on top of each other vertically. Mine still touches the grille bracket when it closes but not enough to be a concern of mine. Those are really good hoses so you shouldn't have a problem with them rubbing and wearing through. Hope this helps.

Yeah, thank you very much. I will try to reinstall it again this weekend. I will do what you did. Really happy to see that it is working and you actually trapped what it should. Can't wait...


Thanks you again. Cheers

Can't decide if I want the F150 to be red or color matched like the outside is.

Put the red back in the inside. Looks pretty good with the grey around the outside.

Redid my engine cover last night. Painted the same color as my truck. Also going in today to get the front windows tinted and a strip across the windshield.

Just got the gen 6 ssi tunes from Shawn.... going to put those on once I change the spark plugs and gap them down. I can't wait to see how good they are coming from the gen 4 tunes that I had.

I just emptied mine out the other day and it was exactly the same, some oil on top with mostly water. Was almost full, I have to remind myself to check it more in the winter. Could have passed for Dunkin Donuts.

Had a minor issue with the tunes sent to me. I think he grabbed the wrong strategy when he built them but he worked with me and got it sorted out. Just got new ones today for it and he upgraded them to Gen 7 tunes so we'll see how well those do this weekend.

What brand of leveling kit do you have in the front?
