[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1273982, member: 25186"] Well, here's the most recent update: TMX came through for me and i was all sorted just in time for TRR18. I started driving, got to Dallas, then my mom called to tell me that my Dad got rushed into emergency surgery. Alas, No TRR for me. Turned around, drove home 9 hours, then hopped a flight to get to my dad. Sad to say, June 3rd, My dad passed. It's been a pretty shit year with my best friend passing March 21st, then my Dad on June 3rd. My truck sat from May 17th until June 10th. Drove the truck about 140 miles on the 12th. the truck jumped timing somehow. Lots of DTCs. Net/Net the truck is sitting at the dealership now and will be for some time. Low compression on Cyls 4,5 and 6. Misfiring on the same cylinders. the truck is also getting low fuel pressure DTCs and misfire within first 1000 revolutions DTCs. So, While under warranty, the truck will need at least a new head, but most likely a full long block. I'm certainly bummed. It sucks even more as I was going to drive up to Philly to help my mom out, move some stuff, then bring some very fragile, but very sentimental items back home. I am also planning to tow my Dad's first car ( a '41 Ford coupe) home to restore it in his honor. This will all now have to wait until I get my truck back, as I can't put more than 2,000 miles on the loaner truck that my dealer gave me ( out of the kindness of their heart and in order to take care of a customer. Ford is not offering loaners as an official program right now, as there are a ton of vehicles getting warranty work nationwide due to recalls.) [B]That being said, here are the most recent changes: [/B] 1. the MPT tune is long long gone. I got frustrated after about 1000 miles with the adaptive cruise not functioning properly with the tune. 2. Chopped the rear exhaust and made a turn down/out right past the muffler. 3. Camburg Front UCAs are in. (Temporary until I get to the full front suspension build) 4. installed an E&G console vault. [B]Parts that I've ordered and am waiting on: [/B] 1. RCI fuel tank skid ( the plastic fuel tank skid makes me nervous) 2. Foutz Motorsports aluminum skidplates ( Their's are 3/16 aluminum. They are bending the engine skid to interface properly with the SVC bumper/skid.) 3. RPG Rear Bumper ( I wanted to retain the hitch, the backup sensors and I can use the flush mount S2s that I already have easily.) 4. GJ Motorspots 3rd brakelight/antenna mount. ( I am going to wire this into the flasher/ solid chase light circuit and into my backup S2s. 5. I ordered some Treds pros for the recovery kit. 6. Mag Hytec Differential cover. [B]What I still need to Order: [/B] 1. SVC bypass rack and 3.5s in the back. 2. Robby Woods front suspension Kit. 3. fenders and bedsides (I'm leaning towards the Robby Woods CF bits.) I'm going to order the rear suspension bits once I have a better idea of when I'll get the truck back. If all goes well, I'll do the front suspension and fenders/bedsides this fall after raptoberfest so that the build is done in time to head to baja in december or january. I plan to do nothing but maintenance and drive the **** out of it after that. Based on what's going on with my truck right now, I have no intention to modify the Engine at all. I'll probably just put the Pedal commander back on it and leave it at that. [/QUOTE]
