    Whipple Installed, Dies with any Tune Besides Stock

    I finished the install on my Whipple several weeks ago, and ordered a tune update for my SCT X4 from one of the big name tuners to accompany the blower. I don't have a reputable tuner near me, so this was cheaper and more practical. Every tune they have sent me idles very well, then...

    Super Duty Trans Cooler

    I happened to have a trans cooler from a 7.3 Super Duty, and noticed that it is just about a drop in replacement for our trucks. You just need a few adapters. One of the mounting holes even lines up perfectly with a hood release mounting hole. This is a very common mod for the Lightning guys...

    Upper Door Seals Leak

    I decided to splash through a puddle last night, and I found that muddy water started dripping in from the tops of each door. It doesn't leak a drop in the rain, however. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? Do I just need new weatherstripping?

    Whipple Supporting Mods

    I've just ordered my Whipple Tuner kit, so I'm looking at what else is needed to support it. I have 60lb injectors already, and I'm planning to install a billet oil pump gear, so do I need anything else besides spark plugs? Fuel pump? MAF? The truck already has full exhaust on it. I'm planning...

    Frame-Mount Rock Sliders

    I can't seem to find any current options for real rock sliders. Has anyone used a universal kit or fabbed up their own? Would love to see some photos for inspiration.

    Loud Bang, Shudder in 4x4

    I tried searching didn't find anything that sounded quite like my issue. I picked up a 2013 SCREW this summer, and when in 4x4, there is an occasional very loud bang. The whole truck shudders. It seriously feels like an axle or gear snaps. It happened once while I was towing a trailer in deep...

    Shock Tuning Tutorial

    Is there a tutorial or how-to out there on determining the settings for your adjustable shocks? I just bought a '13 SCAB with ICON 3.0 all the way around. I've never done any shock tuning, so I'm not even sure how to evaluate what adjustments need to be made based on how the truck is handling.

    Whose Truck?

    I see the FRF sticker on it. Anyone know the background on it? I'm in the process of buying it to replace mine which was just totalled :( I see it has a recent accident, but was fixed and has a clean title...

    Bedside Racks

    I couldn't find anything referencing whether or not you could use Builtright's bedside racks with a bed extender, so I went ahead and tried it. It fits back enough that I could mount a Hi Lift, Shovel, crowbar, and axe and still fold the extenders in. Also, I thought this might give some people...

    The Last Gen 2 Shock Swap Thread

    I got tired of the trolls and bickering in the other thread with no one actually posting objective evidence of why Gen 2 shocks will/won't work in a Gen 1 truck, so I decided try it out myself. My shocks are in need of rebuild, and I was able to pick up a brand new set of Gen 2 shocks for $650...

    Power Steering Cooler

    I have a dunes trip coming up, so I'm looking at upgrades to be ready. I don't have any power steering issues yet and I want to keep it that way. Has anyone used one of these as a power steering cooler...

    Plasti Dip Paint Protection

    Hello All, I just picked up a 2014 SCREW and plan to really have some fun with it out here in Arizona. In an effort to avoid desert pinstriping and UV damage since it won't be garaged, I looked for a number of temporary protective coatings. Wraps were about as expensive as repainting, and I was...

    Whipple HP Recipes

    Hello All, Long time Lightning owner here. I've wanted a Raptor since they were first announced, and I finally pulled the trigger on a 2014 SCREW. I went to a turbo setup on my Lightning and have missed the supercharger whine (and torque) ever since, so a Whipple is in my Raptor's future...
