'13 FX4 with BDS 6", 35x12.5x20 Trail Graps on -12 Jesters. Bi-Fuel Conversion (CNG & Gas). Ready to roll.

 

love it

 

Thanks Kid, I have a little rub, I had bilstiens to add 3/4" up front and an aal to level off the back with it by adjusting block size but install shop said they were the wrong shocks.

Back to the drawing board, I don't want to cut it up. I get lost in all these list threads. Any idea on which bilstiens are the right ones for the bds lift?

 

Looks good

 

Looks awesome. the red accents on the wheels look great with the red truck

 

How mUch did the cng conversion run? Hows the power and mpg?

 

Looks good. Good balance of red/black

 

please elaborate on the CNG conversion? Cost? Difficulty to install? ease of use? Im very curious

 

So the CNG conversion kit was added By NatGas in Houston. It was a work comp since I'm in the oil/gas industry. I have a 24.5 Gas Gallon Equiv tank in the bed. I lost a bunch if bed space with that size tank but it's a commuter truck, not a work truck.

I get about 16-17 mpg (prior to new lift) with CNG and +1000 mile range with both tanks full.

The 5.0 is probably one of the best Bi-Fuel candidates as it plays really nice with CNG. I've been in a ton of different makes that have been converted. Typical conversions run 7-10k with a 50% tax credit.

 

Another note, you cannot add a programmer or flashes as they have a flash that they run on the computer so that it works for both fuels equally. A new flash could compromise the whole system.

On the power, I've only commuted in it, but there is a little loss, spec's at 10-15%. I don't plan on hauling on CNG but I use the compressed just for commuting. We have a private filling station that I use for refilling at the office, so it nice. The infrastructure is not quite in Houston yet but it's coming.

Drove to Dallas and back on my tank last week and it self swapped in Centerville on return trip.
