    Battery Replacement

    I'd be curious if anyone knows what the reset process you went through actually does? I've replaced mine and didn't reset a thing.... heh.

    BFG KO2 Issues?

    Pretty similar to stock honestly. But using forescan to adjust for ride height is an absolute, otherwise your rig will think it is jumping and that creates a harsh ride. Tire pressure will also affect the ride but all in all I've no issues and am happy with the set up.

    BFG KO2 Issues?

    C sidewalls will be your only longer term issue. I used the stock tire set up for ~25k miles on lots of rocks and trails (rubicon type stuff) and no tread issues. I just recently upgraded to the ko3 with d sidewall.

    I just finished a pretty long trek from Sacramento to the Mojave, camping for the week along the way and home with @JohnGalt. Balance seemed fine throughout. Not as good as the stock 37's or smaller tires but not bad either. Nit picking. When I first got the 39s, there was a shimmy. I took...

    OK. For reference purposes: I ran the Donner Pass yesterday between Sacramento and Reno unladen in My F-150. Again 2019 with 3.5 EB and max tow package. At ~60 deg F Cruise set at 70mph 223 Max Coolant Temp 205 Max Transmission Temp Both WELL within range and nothing to be concerned with...

    Engine and tranny heat limits

    Coolant below 230 I think is fine and you probably won't see above 223 very often. Correct, once you hit a "slightly" higher than typical temp the numbers will pop up. If memory serves 223 is the number that pops up for coolant, can't recall the others. Tranny I'm drawing a blank on. Not...

    Engine and tranny heat limits

    Solid question. I used forescan to put the numbers directly below each gauge on my '24 braptor to have a better feel. I've learned a few things. Separate coolant temp from engine oil temp. For a reference point: I've used my '18 F150 with 3.5eb to pull quite a bit of horsies, circa 10K...

    Yeah, @JohnGalt helped me out there. We adjusted the ride height sensors and all is well. Noticeably better ride/stock like on pavement. Another key note from my experience.... After the work was done none of my drive modes were available. I could manually use 4x4, lockers, front sta bar...

    According to our good friend AI: Yes, Hyperco springs are typically finished with a durable blue epoxy powder coat, which provides excellent corrosion resistance and protection for the high-tensile chrome silicone steel. This signature coating is standard across their various product lines...

    UPDATE: Had the opportunity to snow wheel in the Sierra Nevadas yesterday with johnnygalt and another buddy. Everything being stock other than tires and me taking the fog light section of the front bumper off the day before, because I mashed the front end last June on a rock and my right front...

    Thanks @Tye. What lift collars did you use? Seems like the cheapest solution that I am seeing online.. Appreciate it.
