My kit was an early release in 2015 so it took a couple of tune revisions to get it nailed down, but whipple had great service throughout. I'm at 33,000 miles on the truck with 30,000 or so on the supercharger. It's been totally maintenance and hiccup free. Starts every day and gets me to work with no issues.
​​​@engineermike , how has the truck been with the whipple installed? I'm curious about reliability over the long term. Also, have you had any warranty issues where Ford has denied doing any work on it, even an oil change?

I sold the truck and the current owner has I think around 70k miles on it. The current owner runs it much harder than I ever did. He’s melted a pair of cats and since deleted them, but other than that it’s been rock solid. I’ve actually become more impressed with the reliability after observing its performance now. And this is on the 3.5” pulley and pump gas.
