Very good point. Yes, it adds weight and it's always an NVH versus weight trade-off. However, you won't use 100 lbs of sound deadening in a car, unless you cover it top to bottom with the stuff. On a 5600 lb truck, ~50 lbs of sound deadening won't make any noticeable difference.

Ok so I got the CLD and MLV in, for a dampening project on my new car. I will be using it for the floor boards and firewall mostly, but may also do the doors. Will post up results and pics later.

I like beer.

Interesting thread. I have used dynamat on many vehicles also, not to enhance audio quality, but to reduce NVH. Usually, the biggest bang for that buck is floor pans and wheel wells. Also, what about doing a two layer job - CDL first, then MLV on top. Is that better than dynamat, which is a one...

Don't you have multiple mods such as a tune and downpipes etc.? How are you so down on power?

Sorry you are having all these issues. I don't want to jinx myself, but my truck may have been built on the right day of the week when the workers were alert. I have almost 40k miles on the clock and not a single issue. Not even a damn squeak or rattle. I have kept up with these common problems...

Thanks OP. Also curious what you make of these other experiences based on a few other gos at this: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/linkswell-genii-t-style-radio-dont-waste-your-time.63538/#post-1293774...

OP, nice job, looks great! Thanks for sharing. Very interested in hearing how the following stock functions perform in real world scenarios (most of these are specific to my 802 features that I love): front and all around cameras - very useful while parking in tight spots, HVAC and heated...

It's still only a blown V6 that's never really going to sound great. Good or OK maybe, never great. Cool muddn' video in the other thread!

I do all my own oil changes and do them religiously every 5k miles. I'm at 34k miles and truck has not been consuming any oil between changes. I am curious where you guys with catch cans think all this oil is coming from, if truck isn't consuming a meaningful amount between changes. Someone...

I asked this a couple times in the MPT thread but didn't get a response, so posting here. I am already aware of the following general information: 1. A big portion of warranty claims are at the discretion of the specific dealer in question. Some dealers are easy to work with, some are not. 2...

Does anyone have experience with warranty claims after an MPT tune? If you reflash to stock before taking it in, I believe they can still tell that the ECU was overwritten, correct?

Yes, unless you wire the upfitters to have always on power. Thats a separate mod.

Very interesting. I have a 7x14 that I tow with the Raptor all the time and I did not know about this. Does this mean that when the brakes are depressed, the 7 pin connector provides power to the trailer??? I have a Group 31 house battery in my trailer that powers all interior lights / fans /...

You may be on to something here. In my experience, brake feel significantly improved with more miles. And I don't think it's just me getting used to it, I still have a sports car I drive everyday so I always have a point of reference.Going by how pad and rotor wear seems to improve brake feel...

So what's the consensus on MPT voiding factory warranty? I realize it will, but is rolling back to stock tune before warranty claim a reliable option, or will Ford know the ECU has been overwritten anyway? I just paid for a 6 year / 100k mile warranty, so wondering if I should get the MPT or not.

Amusing hearing about brake fade on a 5600 lb truck. What are you using the brakes for that much and that often in a short amount of time, that you are experiencing brake fade? Auto cross? lol Even while towing 5000lb+ trailers over long distances, I have never experienced brake fade with the...

I'm at 33k on factory 3/36. Extending to 6/100 cost me $1415. I went with the $50 deductible plan. Zero deductible would have been $1720.

OK, I pulled the trigger today and went with premium care 6/100. In case anyone comes upon this thread in future, I went with Zeigler Ford. I called them and they beat Flood Ford's price and were much nicer and friendlier. Name of the person I spoke with at Flood was "Gardiner" and he certainly...

Extended warranties more often than not can be cancelled and a pro-rated refund will be issued by manufacturer when you cancel. Chevy and Ford both allow you to cancel. Makes the whole "I switch cars often, am I buying the warranty for the next owner" line of thinking a non-factor. Trade in the...

I'm at 33k miles in 16 months from in service date, so my factory warranty is about to run out due to miles. The zero deductible premium care (highest coverage available) is $1745 if I wanted 7 year 100k, or $1645 if I wanted 6 year 100k. All years and miles are from first in service date...

Called Flood Ford to ask about the ESP and totally unimpressed by the service, if you can even call it that. "Go to website, read exclusions" was about what the gentleman said, and was curt/borderline rude. Just sharing as general feedback for folks considering them in future.

No. Jake is just a toxic douche bag.
