New Truck and More Power

As many of you know I gave up the Raptor for both personal and insurance reasons. I decided to go bigger and back to the crazy, stupid power of a diesel, so I went with a 2010 F250 6.4 Powerstroke, black with black leather, loaded with nav, sunroof, 20" forged wheels.......and the famous "man step"

Here it is not an more than a couple hours old from the dealership on my first fill up on the road trip back home

Since this isn't my first rodeo with the 6.4 Powerstroke I already knew before I bought the truck what I wanted to do with it.......however I was surprised to find out that AFE came out with a new "true" CAI for the 6.4 that offered even more power and flow, 28hp and 54lbs. x ft. torque while outflowing the factory intake by 41%, then the previous AFE intake I ran on my old F350.

The following posts are going to be the install of this awesome intake system

Great to see you back in the 6.4 game Julian! Can't wait to see where you take this truck!

Oh, and I think it's time for a signature change...

Very nice looking truck. Why in your sig shows it to be a 2011 truck?

I orded this new kit from Raul@Stealthautomotive, he gave me a sick deal and it got here within 3 days.....

Here is a pic of all the parts and pieces that come with the kit, its a very high quality kit and they parts are nice and heavy which is good cuz this truck is going to see some abuse

The tool needed are simple, a simple flat head screw driver, 8mm wrench and/or socket, a Torq T20 bit or driver, a couple of Allen wrenches and some good ol muscle strength cuz its a tight fit with this new intake

You start out by removing the stock intake cover and filter, then you unscrew the MAF sensor which is held in with the torq head screws and loosening the intake boot as seen here...

With the intake box now out of the way, good ahead and pop out the oil vent out of the top of the intake sleeve and loosen the clamp that holds the other end on the turbo inlet housing

Be sure to check the turbo blades and make sure everything is clean before you install the rubber boost over the turbo inlet

Be sure to install the MAF sensor on the new intake sleeve, otherwise the truck won't like it and won't start, and leave it loose cuz as you can see, the new intake box and filter are quite large.....

Button her up and double check all the clamps and hoses. Then snap on the "cold air ram air" scoop that goes over the battery and pulls in cool air from the gap between the headlight and hood and your done......this is what it looks like completed.....

So far I'm very happy and the truck runs great.....thanks again Raul!
