Default Come over to the darkside
hey guys as the title says i've come over to the dark side. Ive been a long time chev owner and just bought my first Ford, a 2013 F150 supercrew XLT, XTR 4x4 with ecoboost and a 3.55 locking rear end. I've noticed alot of ecoboosts have the air to air hole in the bumper blocked off with a grill, is there a problem with debris getting in there or is it just for looks? Any advice on maintenance, mods would be appreciated

Cool... I am the same as you. Anti-Ford guy all these years owning numerous Chevy and Dodge trucks. Bought my first Ford an 08 F150 Lariat a few months ago and couldnt be happier. Good luck with the new truck.

Remote start is the first Mod I ever do on any of my trucks, than tint the front windows to match the rears, Brighter reverse lights are always a cool cheap easy mod.

How do you make you reback lights brighter? Just higher wattage bulbs and fuses?
