Thanks for the response. Funny thing is, I'm stopped right at that stage. I got the whole unit wired and installed (including the Ford-specific fit kit). However, I've got those two leads (brake and e-brake) sitting under the floor mat. The instructions weren't really great so I got lost at...
Just ordered the new Alpine nav unit for my 2012 Rap (no OEM nav). I'm just about to place an order for the Alpine-branded fit kit (KTX-FPU8). The literature states it comes with all that's needed to simply plug-n-play for the F-150. The only thing I'm wondering is whether I'll have to run...
Yeah, I'm not sure. It's probably in the manual somewhere. I was also thinking of deflating the spare to 41 lbs, make the differential 6.
That tool's only like $35 on eBay. At that price point, each member should buy his own! But honestly, the truck should have come with it. I think the...
As a follow-up, I specifically asked whether running this tool would just "advise" the SJB (TPMS controlling computer) of location change, or would it actually record, as a new standard, the new PSI I was running at. The service tech told me once I had my preferred PSI set, the tool would not...

Nitrogen went in today. Sorta cool to watch the process. Kinda fucked myself though because I had the TPMS reset to account for the 35 lbs in the Bajas, then had the nitrogen inflation done. Drove off and TPMS went haywire again!
Dealer did me a favor with the TPMS reset so I...
Ducati,
As for the OEM reflector ... What are your thoughts on painting vs some type of vacuum wrap? It looks like some other vendors are bypassing the OEM internal surface alltogether (I'm sure at the request of their customers).
Any idea of the performance or output (subjective)...
So far so good. Got an appointment at my dealer tomorrow morning to recalibrate TPMS down to, maybe 33 or so. While the warning light isn't so bothersome (it goes off with a click of "ok"), the shop owes me a favor so I'm cashing it in.
Not enough time on them to really gauge wear. Will...
Parsing words here ... But this inexpensive tool will actually program to the new end-user psi? I thought it just "trained" the sensors / module after a wheel / tire change or rotation. Meaning, it just lets the car know where things are moving to around the vehicle. I didn't know it will...
First one winner. I told em straight away though, that I wanted 35 lbs and to ignore the door sticker bc this tire is different. I helped out a bit inside the shop too. You know. Make it more difficult for them psychologically to say no.

Hope so! Sexy tires aren't cheap these days!

Thanks man. I will. And I do appreciate all of your insights. Hear that FRF? This guy's the Jedi of rubber.
Just got back from the tire shop. I'm happy with the way they look. Ride home was fine. I had them inflated to 35 lbs. Only two observations so far are less "sluggish" than OEM rubber and a slight whine over 40 - 45 mph. Will report more tomorrow morning ... See what the flat spotting feels...
Feedback Please
Lance,
I'm about to pull the trigger on these things too! Any further feedback? Do you like them, hate them or what?
Summer temps here average around 85 - 90 so I'm not too concerned about that. Just looking for some new feedback from you before I take the 2,800 dollar...
I was at Shot this year and I don't know how I missed it. The time has come for new tech, to avoid spring-fling and other lower disassembly issues.
Like anything else worth having, I believe they are on backorder.

Wooow. Duc, are they spoken for yet? I'm assuming they...
I had thought of that. Only problem is, I'm afraid running the Bajas in snow or ice would be like driving on a skating rink. I'm in NJ. While we don't necessarily get dumped on year to year, it definitely gets cold here (except for this year).
For that reason, I kicked around the idea of...
