@@LoganButler-ck3sb Hey Logan! I put a new tune on it afterwards. I was using regular tunes before this turbo but aftermarket turbos need special tuning for optimal performance. If you can, I would definitely see if anywhere near you offers live tuning. I’ve been trying to find a Goldilocks tune and it’s hard since each vehicle responds differently to a one size fits all tune file, so I’ve been trying out several different ones in search of the right balance for my needs. In hindsight I wish I would have spent the money on finding a local live tuning company.

@@UsernamePassword85 Sorry for the late reply! I’ve loved them so far! I’ve put about 15,000 miles on them as of today and they’ve worn great with balance/rotations every 6k miles. I haven’t had a chance to drive on icy road conditions with them yet, but they’ve handled everything I’ve thrown at them perfectly, including sharp caliche roads. Especially for the price of a set, I would highly recommend them! You’ll have to let me know if you get some. 💪🏽

@@deepaklopez7436 Thanks for stopping by! Yeah I was never really sure what to call it lol. I’ve heard debates on whether it’s considered an exhaust or engine brake, because the big rig drivers get mad when we call them engine brakes on the pickup trucks. 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

@@investinghutler5323 Sorry for the late reply! I’ve been running all 4 at 65psi, it seems to be a nice balance between firm and soft for daily driving, and it seems to have good & even tread contact with the ground.

@@investinghutler5323 Awesome!! I think you’ll really like them. They still look great and perform great after 14,000 miles of use with getting them rotated every 6k miles. Thanks for watching! 😄

Heck yeah it was lol! They also had all the stuff set up for the car races they do on it, so that was cool too. This was our first time driving it instead of riding the train to the top.

Hey Jacob, thanks for stopping by! I sure am still running it. My truck just rolled over 172,000 miles and I got this installed at 157,xxx miles. So far it’s been great! After I first got it installed I was having issues with building boost and smoking when even lightly accelerating. Long story short I went back and forth between contacting KC Turbos, the diesel performance shop that installed it for me and my tuning company trying to figure out what was wrong. Ultimately, after trying out some different tuning files I found one (the 30HP file) that works well all around for my needs. Compared to the stock turbo, it’s not as “snappy” off the line, but once it starts spooling and building boost this 7k pound machine rolls out haha! I haven’t towed with it yet since we sold our RV last year, but I’ll definitely make an update in the future when we buy another one and I can put my truck to work towing again.

Hey thanks for stopping by and commenting! Compared to stock it is a bit laggy in terms of daily driving purposes, buuut once it starts building boost there’s definitely a noticeable difference in power. I currently run the raised shift points transmission tune and a 30HP engine file, but you can always experiment with things like low boost fueling tunes for lower end power gain. I do not currently have any WOT vids, but I’ll definitely try to make some! 😁

Hey Eddy, thanks for stopping by and for the feedback! I’m sorry I didn’t capture the actual removal process of this. I didn’t think to record my attempt of removing it until after I gave it a shot and was successful. Essentially all I did was wedge the pickle fork in between the stabilizer the mounting point and it broke loose after 3-4 hammer hits.

She tows great!! We sold it last year but towing a 32’ Forest River travel trailer was cake. I couldn’t even tell it was back there until hitting some dips on the road that caused some surging back and forth lol. In the future I plan to get a 5th wheel travel trailer to put her to work again.

Hey Bryan, thanks for stopping by! I’m loving it compared to OEM one. I had a local diesel performance shop install it for me since I didn’t feel confident in such an involved install with my limited selection of tools at home, and for a few months after the install I had an issue where my turbo would do a vane sweep and then stop working and building any boost when I would stop at a drive thru or red light. I would have to turn my truck off and back on and it would work just fine.. until it did another vane sweep at idle. Long story short, my diesel shop referred me to contact KC Turbos, who told me to contact my tuner, and after some round and around emails between all my resources, I switched to a different tuning company and it’s been working great with no excessive smoke ever since. Yes sir, this is the Stage 1 VGT turbo. It spools up quickly and makes plenty of boost. The cool side effect of this turbo is that I turn a lot of heads when I’m cruising in a downtown area haha! I’ve got the Sinister Diesel intercooler pipes as well so there’s no risk of it blowing up the plastic OEM one. My next upgrade to complement the turbo will be the Pusher upper air intake. Sorry for the novel lol. Let me know if there’s any other questions I may be able to answer!

Damn! Sorry to hear you’re having so much trouble, I hate when that happens on what’s supposed to be an easy job, especially if those components are only 2 years old. Hmm, do you have a handheld propane torch or access to an oxyacetylene torch? You may have to apply some heat to it to try breaking it free if the hammer and fork alone isn’t cutting it.

Hello and thanks for stopping by! So, unfortunately the steering wheel shaking was after I took my truck to Discount Tire to have them rotated and balanced. I bought my Ridge Grapplers from them so I had the free lifetime rotate and balance and it helped a little but not much. I rotated them about every 6k miles and the last time I went in Discount Tire said I needed an alignment, but when I got it checked by a local shop they said it was just barely out of line. Ultimately, I got these new tires, an alignment and had them balanced all at the same time and now she rides like a dream! I do agree, I like the way 18” rims look with some beefier tires on these trucks. I stuck with 20” rims because that was the OEM Lariat rim size, so when I bought these new rims I had the Ridge Grapplers mounted on them and I’ve just always had 20” rims and tires on it.

Heres a tip, let the man run what he wants.

@@Corvette-Cowboy tosser

Considering it’s a stage one he doesn’t need to upgrade injectors or anything

Yo I am so sorry, TH-cam never notified me of y’all’s comments. Like Sanito said, I’ve just got the Stage 1 so it can be dropped in and ready to work with no extra mods. You can even put it on a stock truck according to the company with no tuning if you want. Performance wise, I’ve just got the Sinister Diesel hot and cold pipes to prevent the stock ones from blowing up on me lol.

Hey Roman! The Predators have still been working great to this day. The tread still looks brand new and I’ve already put a little over 5 thousand miles on them. So far I’ve driven them in heavy rain on the interstate, on dirt roads and just regular sunny weather and they’ve kept me planted with great traction. I haven’t done any serious off roading/mudding yet and because I’m in Texas I haven’t gotten any snow/ice to try them on, but so far they’ve been great to me and I would certainly recommend checking them out if you’re looking to buy some! They’ve a great mix of affordability and performance.

Hey Jake! The best way I can describe it is it wasn’t super hard but it was a tedious project. I did them all by myself in my driveway over the span of two days because I took my time. The reason it took so long is I removed each of the bolts as slow but quickly as possible to avoid breaking the top cage nut and having to remove seats and peel carpet back to put a wrench on top.I got ALL but the front left bolt which spun the cage nut so I had to get creative like you saw in the video lol. I am also fortunate that my truck has lived in Texas its whole life so my frame isn’t rusted like some of the videos I’ve watched. Overall, you’ll need a 1/2 drive breaker bar, various length extensions, a 15mm socket, a jack(I have a 3ton low profile hydraulic from harbor freight), jack stands to prevent crushing you hand should the jack slip and a decently sturdy block of wood to put between the cab and your jack to raise the cab up. I tried to save money at first by not getting a torch, but I ended up buying a small propane torch from my local hardware store that I used to heat the bolts and help break that loktite. It was definitely worth the money! One other tip I have is make sure to have a long breaker bar or use a “cheater pipe” on your breaker bar, it’ll save your back! I would highly recommend these though! They’ve made my truck ride much better than factory in terms of going over potholes, dips and cornering at higher speeds. Definitely check them out if you plan to keep your truck for a long time! 🤘🏾

@@d.williams6891 definitely gonna do it I had my truck now for about 6 1/2 years 2015 f250 powerstroke and I never ever plan on giving it up not even for an aluminum duty I love these steal body 6.7 that’s what I wanted to know if it made a big difference on the ride quality I’ve redone all of my suspension on the truck all new heavy duty moog end links and the problem solver witch is highly Recommend doing and a rough country heavy duty track bar and dual stabilizer and the upper steering damper and then change the sway bar end links for pmf hein joints and have a 6.5 fts radius arm lift after doing all that my truck drives like a brand new truck again but I do notice my cab bushings are starting to get somewhere. It’s about time to do it and I’m sure when I do do it it will make my ride even that much more better, but I would definitely recommend you doing all those upgrades that I did. Obviously you don’t need to do the the lift kit But the ball joints track bar dampener the steering problem solver all that stuff made my truck drive probably better than off the lot

I have 161k on the ticker about to hit 7 years with this old girl 👧🏽

I’m stilll in love with her as much as the day I bought her

@@jakethesk8roberts763 Hell yeah man, it sounds like you’re investing in all the right upgrades for longevity! Thank you for the suggestions, I’ll certainly check into those things you’ve mentioned because I’m the same as you, I love my truck and I hope to have it for 1+ million miles. It sounds like we’re pretty similar, mine is a 2015 with 163k miles on it. So far all I’ve done is put Bilstein 5100 shocks and the Bilstein steering dampener, and now these S&B mounts.

Thank you!! Yeahh I can’t imagine having to deal with all the regulations you have to deal with lol. Now is a good time as any to move down south haha! The cost of living in Texas is much cheaper too.

@@jakethesk8roberts763 No, I live in so cal. Los angeles county.

@@marcialorozco386 dam yeah I’m looking 👀 for the 🔌

Sorry, I just saw your comment! They’ve been great honestly! They didn’t make it ride like a Cadillac, but these paired with the 5100 Bilstein shocks has made my truck ride really smooth. I feel like when I’m cornering there’s much less cab lean than with my stock body mounts, and there’s much less cab rocking. Overall I would highly recommend getting them if you’re considering them!

Thank you! This job kicked my butt, but I didn’t want to pay someone else $500 to do it haha! I sure did! In March I bought a pair of C shaped, switch back turn signals from Amazon by a company called “Yereash.” They have worked flawlessly for me, they’re super bright and they fit nice and securely into the mirror.

Thank you, and for stopping by! I’m using the 30HP rumble tune currently.

Hey, thanks for stopping by! I loved the Nitto Ridge Grapplers while I had them. I bought them at Discount Tire so they did the mounting and balancing and I would get them rotated and balanced every 6k miles. I never had any issues with them vibrating and the only real issue I ever had was driving on icy roads. For some reason they just don’t grip very well on ice, so I would slide if I was stopped on a sloped road, but they’re not 3 peak snow rated so I wasn’t too mad. Noise wise, they had a low hum to them that seemed to get a little louder as they wore down but it was never anything compared to having a true mud terrain tire. It never bothered me or my wife and she would have definitely let me know if it was bothering her. 😂 They’re a very popular tire and I see them on a lot of heavy duty trucks, so I would certainly recommend them if you’re interested in a set, especially if you can get them on sale. Let me know if you have any other questions I may be able to help with!

Hey, thanks for posting some advice! Oops, I didn’t even think of that! I ended up throwing these in the dumpster and getting a different set that are switchbacks but non sequential. 😅

@@d.williams6891 oh nice. I like the switchbacks. Haven’t had a problem with mine. It could be a problem with the truck wiring and not the lights but idk lol

Hey thanks for stopping by! They are actually really quiet since they’re all terrains. I had a set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers before and these are extremely quiet compared to those. I’m working on putting together a comparison video of the noise level between them that I’ll post in the near future.

@@d.williams6891 hey thanks. I have cooper stt pro on my f150. They’re so loud I can’t stand them.

@@cleanmachineautodetailing No problem! Oh wow, that’s unfortunate! I’ve always wondered about those tires. I initially wanted to buy some of those when I bought my truck because I think they look really cool, but I also thought they look like they’d be loud lol.

@@d.williams6891 they came with the truck from the dealership. Idk why but all dealerships are throwing on mud terrain tires now.

Thank you! Are you talking about the clicking noise? If so, it’s my front left headlight. They’re the 2nd gen Morimoto headlights and they now have a little resistor/fuse box wired into them that makes a clicking sound when I activate my turn signals. The first set of these I had didn’t do that, but one of them burned out within the first year I had it so I’m hoping this set lasts for a while haha.

Did you have any problems with the light where you had to mess with the programming?
