Diode Dynamics is top notch! Of course I like the Zevo's. Never had one burn out.

I'm a little embarrassed, I finally went to change the bulb for the tag light this weekend and found the bulb was intermittent. Got a small screw driver and slightly bent the legs on the bulb so they would make better connection with the socket, and it fixed it so all is well with the Diode Dynamics tag light. NO FAILURE.




Shout out too to gingrbredman for this
console organizer. console organizer.
I think I'm going to like it.

IMO this has always been the finest RCSB around here. The praise I have would exceed what I can write here in one post. I especially love the interior colours; yes, lighter interior colours come with more responsibility and cleaning, but I think the Super Duty camel looks so much better than the F150 grey and "light" camel.

Can't wait to see what you have in store next! The whine of the Whipple combined with the roar of the 5.0 is pure bliss (65mph overlay lmao).

Thank you! Taking a little break for a month or so. Santa is bringing a few new thing to install in a few weeks.

You don't need Santa; at this point, it's as if some new part or idea drops out of the sky for you just in time for the weekend

I forgot to ask, what rear end do you have? From your wheel hop video it looks like a 9.75, but I'm not willing to commit to that. I thought the 9.75 regular was limited to 7000+ GVWRs this year, and lighter 3.73 trucks still got the 8.8? I'm looking at a '18 5.0 3.73 RCSB, 301A FX4, and aside from praying that I can get there first and clinch the deal, I'm also hoping for a 9.75. Simply looks better imo.

LOL...Might be sooner then Christmas...That might be the only time I have to do some of the installs during the break, one of the upgrades are very involved..

Yes it is a 9.75 good eye! I've talked with a few other RCSB owners that ordered 3.73 gears with e-lockers and all are 9.75". So we've decided that must be the trigger, I also have trailer package too, and no FX4.

We had a brisk morning with a light dusting of snow. Snapped off a quick shot.



Hard to believe all the crap I've put on this truck I never put a hitch plug on it. Fix that today....Nothing fancy.

Mike, did you dremel off the air dam tabs? I didn't want to do it with my '17 so I just trimmed about half of it and put it back on to cover the unsightly holes, the three plastic amigos, and the LCAs. But it seems that the '18 air dam hangs a bit lower and I won't gain that much clearance by trimming the air dam in the same way......

I searched all over for the truck and finally found the truck that is the subject of the dealer trade...........but also found that on that very lot, it literally has an identical twin - '18 Shadow Black RCSB 301A FX4 w/ Sync3 and TBC - but 2.7EB. And they told me they couldn't find any 2.7EBs within a transportable radius.
