Yuck! Change that cabin filter!

After all the fires this past summer in NorCal, I decided to check the cabin air filters in our cars.  All I can say is O-M-G that's NASTY!  You can get a cheap $12 filter like the BW150 Cabin air filter for Expedition,F150, Replace CF12150,FL3Z-19N619-A (Carbon,1 Pack), or upgrade to a nice HEPA based one like the PureFlow HEPA Cabin Air Filter PC8214HX| Fits 2018-21 Ford Expedition, 2015-22 F-150

Whatever you do - just do it!  Look at our old filter compared to the new one! Seriously disgusting!





To replace your filter takes a few simple steps!

Pull out the ribbed tray just above the glovebox, there's a notch on the far right side that will unclip from the main dash parts.

Now you just need a 7mm socket to remove those 2 screws
 

Slide that upper tray out and to the left - there's some cabling in there but it will stretch enough to get access, then you can reach in and squeeze 2 tabs to remove the cover for the filter

Sit back and ponder how the heck you thought you could breath in your truck with a filter like this!

Drop in your filter of choice, trust me - don't skimp here!

Now you can breathe easy again - congrats on your maintenance!

20+ = 30% off $1,399

Here's the new programmer!  No need to ship your PCM!


Some of the basics it can do and keep in mind, its an OEM based tool so it will never have all frills some of the other tools will have.

Currently:

  • Read/erase codes
  • Upload stock file, save to SD card (can back up on PC)
  • Download modified cal
  • Tire/axle changing
  • Crank relearn
  • Data logging, 2gb SD card included
  • Read live data

Future:

  • Cals comes from Whipple server
  • Whipple server notifies you if an update becomes available
  • More advanced logging and graphing features.

Whipple, known for its industry leading upgrade systems and technological innovations, has now brought the same technology to the 2017 and up 3.5L V6 F150 and Raptors with the Whipple Stage 1 system.

The stage 1 systems couples the Whipple Mega Cooler, roto molded high velocity cold air intake and industry leading custom calibration to make an amazing 150* foot pounds of torque and 70* horsepower more than stock. Even better, at 3500 rpm, the system produces over 180 foot pounds of torque over stock giving more power under the curve for incredible throttle response.

The Whipple Monster Cooler offers 54% greater volume and 8% more surface area. The bar and plate type intercooler features offset fin on both the cold and hot side, allowing for increased cooling capacity while fitting into the stock packaging, yet significantly out performing the stock cooler. Test show a 90 degree (F) drop in temperature just on the dyno, yet even bigger gains are shown during real world applications. The colder air allows increased spark advance and more O2 to the engine, resulting in more power while maintaining safety.

The Whipple high velocity air intake system boast the CAD driven, CFD modeled rotor molded plastic air intake that maximizes air speed while reducing inlet restrictions. The air system features the velocity stack gauze those filter with extra wide pleats, giving the air filter the capacity to flow over 132% more air than a stock paper filter.





The Stage 1 system heart and soul is the industry leading calibration. Whipple and it's Ford calibration team worked feverishly using advanced tools to develop a calibration that could maximize power while being legal and safe at the same time. After countless dyno and real world testing in multiple environments, the engineers were able to extract massive levels of torque and horsepower yet maintaining factory type safety settings.

The Whipple Stage 1 system is the first and only 50-state legal Ecoboost complete upgrade package available today CARB APPROVED! allowing for upgrades in all 50-states. No cutting or grinding required.




Added Deaver +3HD leaf springs today!

 The Raptor tends to 'squat' a bit with the travel trailer, so after many days of research I bottomed out (sic) on the Deaver +3HD l...
