GEN 1 Help a new guy out

[Ruger]

^^^In addition to the AIRAID CAI I have a MagnaFlow muffler. I'm delighted with the performance and mpg (16.0 to 16.5) of my truck.
Thanks.

Not if it's purely a DD street machine, like mine.

Well, yeah, but that's why they build Platinums...
Gotta remember, I am in NV where dirt roads outnumber paved ones.

Seven years DD on pot hole riddled streets, is tearing apart my suspension too.
I need new shocks, new steering rack, possible ball joints.
Regular F150 don't last that long, Raptor is built stronger, that's why I own one.
Besides being a bad ass truck!!!

Thanks for all the tips and comments. Looks like it's pedal commander first then CAI, catback, and tune.

Will the tune help with the shift points? The tranny seems to be unable to decide which gear it wants to be in.

Do the Tune and Pedal Commander combo kit first and change to a drop in K&N or S&B air filter.

Best bank for your bucks right off the bat. If you can't afford a SC
Save your $$$ on the other stuff, you'll very little to none gains with them.
