Don't worry about what people say... The experience you gain from these little projects will help you infinitely in future endeavors, be it on the truck or in life.
Truth right here🎉 Everything is interconnected and a little experience in one area can definitely help you in other areas of life. Example, If you learn how to weld it will help you be a better woodworker. Nothing is wasted on a student of life.
Did you make a video on how these parts worked after time? The antena does it work good pick up stations like the old one? The lights did you get any condensation in them? Thank you
Hola hermano, tengo una F-150 2008 y tu vídeo me sirvió de inspiración, ahora sé que es más fácil cambiar partes tan simples pero tan importantes en la truck
No they sometimes change the links when they are out of stock. Check back or also I reviewed updated headlights on my channel th-cam.com/video/44-kQEJN39s/w-d-xo.html
Love it! Got an 05 FX4 extended cab, 6.5’ bed-ordered her from the factory. Do the timing chain, but most importantly have them check the roller-followers (rocker arms); they also have a loud tick, but if they fail they could blow your motor.
I just did this job this weekend on mine! I wish I would have done it sooner. Did chains, phasers, roller followers, high volume oil pump, plugs and coils.... It runs like a brand new truck.
Nice! I have a high volume oil pump and the timing kit on the shelf. I am in the middle of watching Fordtechmakuloko's videos on it and I am thinking my sound might include the roller followers... Thanks for the advice!
I would definitely replace the roller followers while you're in there. I gathered all the parts over time too. Just follow along with Brian's videos that your watching, bag and label your parts. It's not really a tough job you're just digging really deep in there. The hardest part is unplugging and disassembling everything. I do highly reccomend the follower tool and the crank tool. They made the job idiot proof for me. And have fun, it's a very rewarding job when you do that first start!
Those ones got water in them within a month 🤦🏻♂️ The ones I swapped them for (another video in my channel) have been holding up great through rain storms and washes. No water at all.
Good video I have a 2005 single cab it’s my work truck but I’ve been wanting to upgrade my grill an headlights an tail lights I’m going to put in my order right now thanks… u have a beautiful daughter! Super cute bro
I actually want to look into it. I painted my chrome ones black on my other 11th gen but I would be down to try and paint match just not sure how it holds up on chrome.
I've done so many mods on my truck but I never even knew about the tailgate assist kit, never even knew those existed lol. Just placed an order for one
@@JustKingAdrian man I struggled with that retainer bolt that goes into the empty hole til I finally figured it out cause I couldn't find anything to help so I made a video of it in caß anyone else comes across this problem lol
Everything was good. I bought a 2009 F-150 back in 2008 with 5 miles … 14 years later and 327,000 miles and it’s still good. I ws expecting to see some Katzkin on your seats.. other that that awesome stuff.
My 05’ 5.4 has a tick. It’s usually the exhaust manifolds that have rusted and have a pin hole in it. That’s usually where the noise comes from but if it comes from anywhere els it’s not good.
I do 👍🏼 since this video I’ve just upgraded headlights to some newer ones (video on my channel) and did a full timing job. Other than that it is about the same. Nice!
What engine? I have two 2004’s. One with the 4.6 and this one with the 5.4. I only get about 12 mpg out of the 5.4 sometimes worse. The 4.6 is on 37” tires and gets about the same.
You want to run 5w30 oil in it instead of what Ford says and replace the oil pump when you do timing set with a high volume Melina’s brand pump and don’t use after market timing set you will regret it and inspect your rocker followers most on passenger side cuz lack of oil lubrication on bank 2.these are good mothers but they require some attention so they last a while.nice job and nice truck for its age
The tick, especially when starting the truck from a cold start, is caused by the oil pump not pushing oil to the top of the engine " in time " and there is 2 timing chain bearings that the timing chains begin to " Grind/Tick " against due to the lack of lubrication. Once the engine starts running and lube circulates to the whole engine the " tick " fades. If there is still a faint tick after the engine has been running it is mody definitely the weak oil pump not pumping oil thru the engine. The timing chain kit itself it less than $300 in parts, the issue with replacing them is you basically have to take everything with a pulley connected to the serpentine must be taken off and you may have to take it to a timing chain specialist for it to be seat right once its put one. Between a $700-1,200 job if you take it to a Pro shop. And while you have all the pulleys off you might as well replace every part that has a pulley connected which is the power steering pump, the alternator , the crank pulley and idle tensioner pulleys because the pulleys are notorious for locking up and grinding at the belts.
hi, your truck looks great, i have the same truck & did the same things to it, i do have a few more , under the seat sub radio with nav & phone , i should have changed my lights to led like you did , i just put in led bulbs , but now my cruse control doe'sn't work, my battery died now i can't turn off my parking lights (hoping it's a stuck relay( any idears thamk you vinny
Great video man. Did you have to use any splice in LED light hyper flash modules for the tail lights so they don’t hyper flash when the turn signal is on or did they have them built into the taillights already?
I have the 04 F150 5.4 xl 4 door no 4x4, and I love my 04 but I couldn’t pull my 24 foot Mako out of the boat ramp, so I kept my 04, but bought a 2020 f150 twin turbo all aluminum Lariat fx4 with a police package.
Dude nice work I like what you have done keep up with the mods nice to see I was looking at the Amazon mods seems to work so I will now go ahead with some of the stuffffffssss I what to buy👍👍👍👍
Nice video. I have the same truck as yours. Mines blue. Mine is leveled with 33x12.50 tires and after market wheels. A cold air intake and the exhaust is cut off. Mine has the grille similar to yours but instead of having Ford it has the rectangular slots. I need to do tail lights
Ya the tail lights have been sweet. Definitely helped modernize the whole truck. I think I’m just going to paint my wheels black for now and down the road maybe do 33’s. I have another F150 on 37’s so I’m trying to not make this one too crazy. What intake did you go with? I’m going to look into one soon.
Bro this got me motivated to mess around with my 06 single cab f-150. I don’t think it would look so good. Unfortunately my rear left counter panel (with fuel door) is damaged pretty bad so I’m gonna have to pay for that to be fixed but everything else I’ve got

Where did you get the grill
@@Bottom2TopServices Amazon but they don’t sell them anymore. Go on eBay and search ford grille for your year and they pop up. 👍🏼

Yep. If nothing else, just having the spirit to tackle a task is invaluable.
Awesome !! I have a 2008 f150 , I want to make it look better. Thanks for this video ❤
Good luck! It’s definitely a good looking year! I love the 04-08 ‘s 🔥
Just needs a chrome push bar, smoked bug shield and rain guards. Looks great man!
Did you make a video on how these parts worked after time? The antena does it work good pick up stations like the old one? The lights did you get any condensation in them? Thank you
Im iffy on replacing my headlights and rear light's, im thinking the LEDs will do the work
The baby in the back looking at daddy talking to a phone is priceless ❤
Great job man. Thank you for the video.
Clazzio covers are awesome- they look factory
I am looking into these! 👍🏼
Love the vid!! really helps me with ideas for my 06 f-150. Keep doing your thing!
Thanks for checking it out!
Nice.Thanks for sharing-I was looking at getting those taillights
Love the tail lights! I was looking for them for a while before I finally found some.
Which wires did you tap into to get the front grill lights to work??
Just a running light from one headlight. If you DM me on Instagram I can show you 👍🏼 @justkingadrian
You did a great job!!!
My truck has remote start but I want a new fob. It’s not dirty, it’s lived in/daily driver. Nothing wrong with that brother

I appreciate it!
You have the link for the Ford grill?
I got it off Amazon but they don't sell it anymore. If you search on Ebay you can find some.
The link to those headlights are for a expedition,, do they use the same headlights?
No they sometimes change the links when they are out of stock. Check back or also I reviewed updated headlights on my channel th-cam.com/video/44-kQEJN39s/w-d-xo.html
I got a grey 1 like that on '22x33 Harley wheels
But u definitely better get that timing chain

How are those headlights holding up? I've heard that they have water leak issues eventually.
Those ones got water in them within a month 🤦🏻♂️ The ones I swapped them for (another video in my channel) have been holding up great through rain storms and washes. No water at all.
@@JustKingAdrian nice! I’ll have to take a look at the other ones you used
Great truck and love the mods!!
Thanks 👍
So did you do the Oil Pump/Timing Chain Replacement???
I am in the middle of it right now. I already put the new parts on I am in the process of sealing it back up.
Good video I have a 2005 single cab it’s my work truck but I’ve been wanting to upgrade my grill an headlights an tail lights I’m going to put in my order right now thanks… u have a beautiful daughter! Super cute bro
Great job! I’m thinking similar mods on my Ford
Doing the same thing with my 05 and getting a new model next year!
Nice upgrades. I'll be using all of those add-ons
What year is your red truck the one you put the raptor and where did you get the grill parts number
Both my F150s are 2004. You can find the grilles on eBay if you search Ford grille for your year.
Also maybe do body color bumpers? Always liked that look over chrome or black
I actually want to look into it. I painted my chrome ones black on my other 11th gen but I would be down to try and paint match just not sure how it holds up on chrome.
@@JustKingAdrian you'd want to sand the chrome down, lay down 2 good coats of primer, then paint match it
I've done so many mods on my truck but I never even knew about the tailgate assist kit, never even knew those existed lol. Just placed an order for one
I randomly came across it on Amazon, I had never heard of it either lol

Nice!!! I needed to do tailgate work.. the hydronic snapped off ese! Every time I open it up its mad weight 😩
That set up look badass extended cab with 5ft box 😛
Love you truck man got the same one nice just a 06 might change her up
Best trucks to work on in my opinion lol.
Thanks for this video. Some great additions!
Thanks for watching and commenting!

I just got my F150 07. I like what you’ve don’t to the truck. I just subscribed
What did you wire your grille lights too to come on with lights
Cool stuff. I have an 06 F150 super cab.
But I also have a mortgage and a family and expenses so mods are slow coming
Good Job!
thats great man. I like that. But get rid of those chromes too. Make them black! :D
What kind of screen did you go with? I want to add a TV and backup camera but haven’t really seen ones that fit.
It’s an oversized one so it sticks out if the dash. amzn.to/3GPsTsX
Thanks
Hey man truck looks great what head unit is that in the truck?
thanks! This is the one I got but it isn't available. If you go to the sellers page they have similar ones still. amzn.to/3Emk2yB
Do you still have this truck? I'm a vegas local and just picked one up today
I do 👍🏼 since this video I’ve just upgraded headlights to some newer ones (video on my channel) and did a full timing job. Other than that it is about the same. Nice!
Where would I get a grill like this I have a 2008 ford f150 extended cad
If you go on eBay and search Ford Grille for your year they should pop up.
Wheel Well liner!
Are your Spyder taillights plug and play
Great video. 👍
Thank you! 🙏
Where did you get the ford Raptor grill at
I got it off Amazon but they don’t sell it anymore. If you search ebay you can find some.
Bro those nails 💅
Nice truck tho
I like the wheels what are they?
18" OEM Expedition Wheels.
The truck looks sick 💯

How do you install new LED headlights ?

The tick is from the spark plugs. Make sure you take it to a good shop cause if it’s not done right they can break down in the motor.
