Progress on my whipple install

[oplersx]

They told me that on the phone, I may not heard all since I was walking on a busy street. When I go picking it up tomorrow (hopefully), I will get more details on this.

Well, that may be bad news for me then. I have a build date of early May 2014 and recently received a JDM Whipple kit that I plan to install myself. I will be very, very upset if I get my truck torn down in the garage and realize that I can't complete the install myself. You would think Whipple might add a notice to their website.

Have you taken yours off-road much?

I've heard that there are probably quite a few folks that their cab has moved forward but didn't know it. Think there is even a thread here about it. My cab was moved about 1" forward but I know how that happened. Had to have every one of my insulators, bolts and nuts replaced. You wouldn't know it though, doors were perfect and everything open and shut without issues.

Hmm. Is there a way to prevent this. Something like a slot delete kit for cab bolts?

Definitely keep us updated. Out of curiosity, do you have a SCAB or a SCREW?

I did, but very "light" off-road compare to you guys

It's the way Ford build them according to whipple. Truth or not, I don't know....

Wow, that sucks.

I guess the bed also needs to move back as well.

Just do what the Lightning guys do and take a sledge to the firewall!

You are joking, I hope! Lol

I noticed that lack of clearence during my initial reasearch on SC's. It played the biggest factor in my decision to not go Whipple...
I did not realize it could be as bad as what is described here. I simply feared engine torque over may create possible contact with the firewall at times.

I can stick all my fingers with room behind the Whipple from on top and the sides on my truck.

I wonder why they pushed everything forward on some of the 2014s Raptors?
Maybe the retooling for the 2015 F150 with the aluminum bed changed some dimensions.
