Greg Installs a BD Crank Case Vent Filter Kit
August 19th, 2011 by Greg D.
The other day, I was cruising down the freeway and needed to pass a slow-moving vehicle. As I accelerated, there was suddenly a huge boom under the hood, followed the roar of pressurized air and an immediate loss of power. Though startling, it wasn’t a surprise. I knew right away that an intercooler hose had blown off. It’s common on the 6.0s, because the oil vapor in the system condenses on the boost tubes, which lubricates them into slipping off. After a few minutes of monkeying around under the hood, I managed to wrestle the tube back on to the intercooler. On the side of the road, covered in grease, I was reminded how much these trivial kinds of things really bug me.

Father’s Day Gift of Wheels
June 22nd, 2011 by Ray
If you’re like most of us, getting a gift for someone isn’t easy, especially if it’s for your father & he’s “Old School.” One Father’s Day I wanted to get him something nice. I remember him talking about his truck to his friends, specifically about his wheels. So that’s when it hit me – WHEELS!

Upgrading to Precision Billet Grilles
January 14th, 2011 by Ray
Hey everyone! It’s Ray again. I would like to talk about billet grilles.

I was looking to enhance the look of my car. I had new wheels (MOTEGI), tires (NITTO), and an intake (K/N) but I needed something else – Billet Grilles! I looked at all the companies we have and the one that caught my eye was Precision Grilles. With their classic to stainless mesh, this company has it all!

January 6th, 2011 by Chuck
I have always used K/N filters and intakes, but I heard aFe air intakes made really good horsepower gains so I decided to try them out. Right away I noticed a difference in the overall performance.

Projector-Style Light for Dodge Rams
December 14th, 2010 by James Grossaint
You can completely change the look of a truck with just headlights. Go Recon has been our go-to light company for headlights, taillights, LED bulbs, and more. They have released a projector-style light for the 09-newer Dodge Rams. This style of light features Angel Eyes (LED rings around the high/low beam bulbs), which comes standard on all newer high end cars, such a BMW. The low beam has the projector lens, which allows me to install HID bulbs (High Intensity Discharge), which is a standard feature on high end cars.

aFe Cold Air Intake for the F-150
December 2nd, 2010 by Ryan
It’s time to get the F-150 pre-runner ready for five hundred miles of dirt, pre-running this year’s Baja 1000 race course and chasing the racecar for 1000 miles down the peninsula. I need to be able to clean the silt and mud out of the air filter during the trip. I decided to go with an aFe Stage II Intake System Read more

Street Scene Roll Pan Review
November 30th, 2010 by James Grossaint
Street Scene has just released a molded urethane roll pan for the 2009+ Ram 1500. This will replace the bumper with no cutting required. They do provide detailed instructions on the installation, including how to prep and paint the roll pan. There is a spot for the license plate, but you will need to create the holes where you’ll mount the license plate lights. I simply drilled a hole above the plate and used glue to attach the light holder to the roll pan, which still allowed me to replace the bulb if it went out.

Wade Hood Bug Guard Review
November 23rd, 2010 by Marcos
I recently installed a Wade Hood Bug Guard. I’ve seen this part on 4WheelParts.com but other brands, such as AVS (Auto Vent Shade), which are also available. This Manufacture offers their Bugflector II (full height and wrap) and Regular Bugflector (traditional hood width design, non wrap) Both come in smoke; However chrome is available, not my preference.

aFe Cold Air Intake for 2010 Ford Raptor
November 9th, 2010 by Paul
We are excited to showcase the new 2010 Ford Raptor aFe Cold Air Intake. The Ford Raptor is a truck with limited production, but it’s not ignored by aFe for the performance enthusiast! aFe managed to produce an additional 18hp and 22ft-lbs of torque on this muscle of a truck. We noticed a hefty difference over the stock design with quicker throttle response and more horsepower. Anyone who owns a Raptor needs to consider this kit!
