nice job bro i done a lot of the same up dates on my 05 you might like a new gas door i got the ⚫️ one with the little holes around it for 25$ really made a difference but keep up the good work look fowrd to watching more
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
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
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!
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
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.
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
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
Be careful with those LED replacement lights. I replaced my third brake light and headlights with aftermarket LED they run a little hot and my connectors were cooked
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
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!
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 $700-1,200 job if you take it to a Pro shop. And while you have all the pulleys off you might as well replace every part that has a pulley connected which is the power steering pump, the alternator , the crank pulley and idle tensioner pulleys because the pulleys are notorious for locking up and grinding at the belts.
nice job bro i done a lot of the same up dates on my 05 you might like a new gas door i got the ⚫️ one with the little holes around it for 25$ really made a difference but keep up the good work look fowrd to watching more
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.
Quedo muy bien la colorada 😎👍 tengo una 04 le instale la camara Que va en la agarradera de la tapa de atras y trabaja muy bien seria tu proximo proyecto nuevo subscriptor 😎🙋🏻♂️
Great video! A very ambitious two day project! By the way, welcome to the 11th generation Ford F-150 issues team! 😆 the window regulators are commonly ruined due to their design, the spark plugs tend to blow up, the transmissions tend to slip, but the style of this year is worth every headache 🤕 look forward to your videos my friend! 😉👍
i tried ordering headlights on amazon but they end up send my headlights for a honda not f150 but after watching.. this kinda motivates me to try it again
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.
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.
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.
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

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👍👍👍👍
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
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 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.

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 🔥

The baby in the back looking at daddy talking to a phone is priceless ❤
Nice I'm doing the same thing 😅😅😅
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.
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
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
gracias por ver mi video hermano 👍
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.
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
Whsts with the fingernails awesome video but the nails were distracting
That’s everything I want to do to my truck
Everything looks great but get that grill off man. It's not the truck for it. Put on a black mesh or black h-bar one.
What is the truck for it then?
Raptor man. Raptor
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 job man. Thank you for the video.
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
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.

did you use the f150 lug nuts for the expedition wheels?
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.

Love the vid!! really helps me with ideas for my 06 f-150. Keep doing your thing!
Thanks for checking it out!
Hell. Ya I definitely love these videos on this type of truck I just subscribe my bro
Thank you!
I got a grey 1 like that on '22x33 Harley wheels
But u definitely better get that timing chain
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 am doing mine soon! Hopefully I get the same effect lol
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!
I have watched a lot of videos talking about the grill it is a nice grill but none of the links on any of the videos work.
It all looks like cheap garbage!
It's not for everyone.🤷🏻♂️
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.
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.

What did you wire your grille lights too to come on with lights
