I had hoped to mount the compressor in the cab or under the hood, so I’ll have to re-install some stuff. The wireless set up is pretty nice though.

Heated Raptor wheel, wheel heat button climate control ordered. Now I have to figure out what I. Need for a clock spring and any wiring I’ll have to add.

So how do you like the 5.0 compared to the ecoboost?  Stock vs stock.

Stock vs Stock, I think they are very comparable. The power comes on earlier which is nicer in a truck with the eco, but it’s fun to wind out the 5.0.

In the long run, adding the blower will check a lot of boxes for me power wise.

Truck did very well on the trip. About 15.9mpg over the 2700 miles.

Fox 2.5’s swapped over to the rears (someone wanted to buy just the fronts off the old truck). HVAC with heated wheel button added and also installed patch cable and antenna and got Sirius working.

Pretty happy with getting these things knocks out.

Waiting on Raptor wheel, clock spring and some wiring to get the wheel upgrade wrapped up. Then just adaptive cruise control and I’m happy for a little while.

That gives me anxiety.  I hate removing interior and especially dash panels.  I feel like nothing is ever right and perfect again.
