What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

Good to know. Maybe when the weather turns to spring, I’ll look at converting. How difficult was it?

It was pretty easy, just a little soldering and your good to go.

What is the benefit of that piece you installed? Inquiring minds would like to know if it's worth it. Also how much?

Added a tailgate theft deterrent from Sabellco. Need to add epoxy to the screw yet, will do that tomorrow.

not sure how that is supposed to work. the tailgates lock when you lock the truck. wouldn't it have to be broken into to hit the unlock, then release the tailgate. if not they'd damage the tailgate to get it open. if they've gone that far aren't they just going to take the whole truck. not saying its useless but just curious what it actually is accomplishing. mostly out of curiosity because I have never seen such an item.

It’s $20, and there’s a TSB on the air box crushing and cooking your turbos. This aftermarket fix is a a lot better fix than any ford engineer could come up with

Go under the hood really quick and look at those horrible plastic clips in there now. Horrible design

This is to deter someone from stealing my entire tailgate, similar to jimmi jammer gate keeper. Would take time rather than 5 seconds. But ya, if someone steals my truck on a flat bed, I have insurance.
