I need to finish lowering my front end before dealing with the speed limiter. But yeah, the speed limiter has to go. I’m not sure if it requires a tuner or if there’s a way to do it with Forscan. Haven’t dug that far into it yet.
I’m really tired of the sloppy shifting. It needs a shift kit. Early on I was worried about the condition of the transmission because it acted up a bit, but they don’t like sitting and it was sitting awhile. After putting a couple hundred miles on it, the only thing it does is the sloppy shifts. I’m irritated enough that as soon as we start getting more consistent decent weather, I’m probably gonna get it done.
Mine launches nice. I need to find the other traction bar bolt and get those in, I can feel it try to rock back a little on a harder launch. I try to roll into launches though because I’ve been told there’s something in the transmission that slides and bangs hard on hard launches and the better shift kits eliminate that by starting in second for like one turn of the tires. The AWD does make a huge difference in being able to fully utilize the power of the 5.0. I’ve had a few people tell me that my truck is junk because I can’t smoke the tires. That’s nice, you sit here and smoke your tires and think you’re cool but I’m gonna be waaayyy over there because my toy is gonna hook n book. The AWD is a game changer. It will try to fight you a little in hard cornering in the steering wheel. I’ve been debating going to an electric power steering pump which would deaden that. Part of that problem though is space under the hood to make it happen. It would have to go where my air box is or I’d have to run long lines and mount it under the bed.
My recommendation on exhaust is a Magnaflow crossover muffler. Here is what I’m running and what dad’s had.
