Default New to the forum.

Well after working for ford at a local dealership as tech for the last few years, i decided in dec to buy my first brand new vehicle. I got a 2014 Tuxedo Black supercrew short box XLT 5.0 .
So far over the past few weeks i installed a pro-comp 2" leveling kit, along with some used 17" Incubus wheels off craigslist cheap, and some brand new 285/70r17 Yokahama ats tires. Next on the list is a Roush exhaust, and some sort of cold air intake. (havent decided yet). Probably a tuner of sorts in the future. Any suggestions on the tuner would be awesome. Lots of great info here on these forums, and am open to any questions anyone may have.

Great to have a Ford technician on the forum. I am sure you can give a lot of good advise.

Thanks . No center caps on just yet , as they are plastic, and the tabs are broken. i doubt i will have these rims long anyways. tax time is right around the corner and am thinking about some fuel mayhem wheels.
I previously worked at some independant shops, and a hyundai dealership. after almost 3 years at hyundai i jumped ship over to ford, and never looked back.

anyone order anything from stage 3 motorsports? i see they specialize in mustang and f150 stuff.

I've ordered from stage 3 for both mustang and f150 parts. They've always been good to me. Fairly knowledgeable and honest in my experiences..

Stage 3 yeah. Hard to find Roushcharger parts mainly.

Seemed decent enough. What are you looking for?
