Amsoil has been having supply issues and sometimes filters are out of stock. I’d have no issues using a Wix XP or Purolator Boss filter in a pinch. I actually used a Wix XP a few changes ago. Would mainly just look for something with a synthetic media that pairs well with a synthetic oil and/or...

To quote others, I’d also ask for a refund or exchange since it isn’t like it’s a budget filter and I wouldn’t use a rusted filter.

I haven’t seen that before, but I have noticed that the filters have recently started shipping without plastic shrink wrap on the filter as they have in the past. Probably supply chain BS. If you’re only doing annual oil changes, you should think about putting the filter in a ziploc and/or...

I didn’t replace my spark plugs since they’re still fairly new, but I did replace all eight ignition coils and plug wires today. Only things I needed to remove to allow access to the coils were the plastic cover for the Jack shaft on the Whipple and the throttle body. I went with NGK coils and...

Mine shipped just before Christmas. I hope to get it tomorrow. I ordered the C1R version.

Once you remove your thermostat, you can test it in a pot of boiling water. The OEM thermostat should be fully open around 195 degrees F. If it appears to open consistently at that temp, you could have other cooling system issues such as clogs/restrictions elsewhere in the system such as junk in...

On an SCT X4 or similar device, you can connect it and find the PCM details under vehicle info or something similar. Below is an example from mine. It’s also good to save these details for convenient access as they’ll be needed for any future tune revisions especially if you switch tuners and...

Similar to what others have said, any of the decent header brands will have a metal tag/logo welded to the headers indicating the brand. If the headers are ceramic coated they’ll usually have a shiny silver finish or a satin or matte dark finish depending on the coating used. Below is a pic of...

At the end of the day, the coils have plastic bodies and rubber boots. I’d bet a lot of the arcing-related failures could be associated with the operating conditions. Whereas most of the MSD failures reported are coils that are DOA or immediately fail after install. I’m on the factory coils at...

@Tommysyko If you turn your heat exchanger fans so that the wiring hangs down from the bottom instead of running out the top, you can hide the wiring and connectors behind the bumper. The instructions show mounting the fans as you have them, but most installs hide the wiring and connectors...

Correction. Despite the diagram in the Whipple install manual, it looks like there’s an oil plug accessible on the supercharger on the top of the gear housing behind the Jack shaft that the pulley attaches to. It’s removable using an hex key bit. Maybe a 1/4” hex bit. Only challenge is that this...

The supercharger doesn’t need to come off to change coils or plugs. It may need to to change the supercharger oil though as I think the fill for it is on the rear of the gear case. The supercharger oil is good for 100k miles. I’m not sure about whether the gasket needs to be replaced if the...

@burntoutaccountant If you go with the optional 78lb injectors from JDM, that’s different than either injector size that was used in the off the shelf Whipple Stage 1 or Stage 2 setups if you’re primarily worried about buying something you already have. Granted, I totally understand only wanting...

I have a Gen 1, but I second PML. I have one currently. I would’ve gone Mag Hytec since I already had their rear diff cover, but they didn’t have one available for the 6r80 at the time. I’ve been happy with the quality and function of the PML pan though after doing a few fluid and filter changes...

@Gryphon313 Make sure you order an item that’s shipped and sold by Amazon and not just one of their marketplace sellers. Although, I prefer ordering from Rock Auto, Tasca Parts, or a local dealer if I’m not in a hurry.

@4x4TruckLEDs.com Is there an updated ETA for those of us that pre-ordered. Will these still ship by end of year or will it be similar to the Morimoto XB tail lights that will ship early 2023?

Other than physically removing and injector physically verifying, the only other option would be to maybe have JDM take a look at your existing tune file to maybe determine what you have if you already have an SCT device. Any injectors usually come with tuning guidelines such as those in the...

I could be the outlier here. Knock on wood, but I’m over 120k miles on the original pump and rack. I’ve only added an RPG reservoir and a cooler. Granted, I also don’t saw back and forth at the wheel like a mad man or do full lock donuts.

There are only upgrades to the pump. The only way to replace the rack is to go with a swingset setup with hydraulic rams as mentioned earlier. Lee and Howe are the popular options for pump upgrades.

JDM will get you squared away. They’re happy to provide support before and after the sale and happy to look at data logs to confirm your fuel trims looks good or generally address any concerns or questions. Whipple direct tunes are 50-state legal, but they will only tune for an otherwise stock...

Regarding headers, FYI Stainless Works now offers GESI UHO cats which I believe are the same if not similar to Kooks Green cats. I’m running Stainless Works 1-7/8” headers with Calico Coolblack II ceramic coating. The headers definitely aren’t a requirement, but I have the funds and wanted to...

Best bet for retaining the signature Raptor marker/clearance lights on an aftermarket third brake light is to go with the GJ Motorsports unit, but then you’re also paying for three Baja Designs lights. Granted, the GJ unit is the most durable option available and I’m happy with mine. No more...

If you want to stick with a Ford OEM throttle body, you should reach out to JDM. One of their upgrade options for their 700 package is the Ford Performance Dual 65mm Cobra Jet Throttle body. The other upgrade option is 78lb injectors from DeatschWerks. You’d get a shorter belt and smaller pulley...

One other note. Your Whipple heat exchanger setup looks like the older version of what would’ve come from Whipple as a Stage 1 setup which had a smaller fanless heat exchanger, smaller GT500 throttle body, a larger pulley, and could be run with stock spark plugs. You may get what you need by...

You definitely don’t have stock fuel injectors unless you mean what was provided with the supercharger (usually 48 or 60lb). I’d recommend checking with whoever you’re going to use to update the tune for your truck to discuss your needs to be sure that installing cams are your best bang for...
