F150 Wake Up

(ANNOUNCER)>> TODAY WE'RE TAKING THE NEW F-150 OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE, AND WE'LL FIND OUT HOW MUCH HORSEPOWER THIS THING MAKES. WE'LL ADD A COLD AIR INTAKE, A TUNER, A CAT BACK EXHAUST. THEN WE'LL THROW IT BACK ON THE DYNO TO SEE HOW

MUCH POWER WE GAINED. FINALLY WE'LL MAKE IT LOOK BETTER WITH SOME ALL BLACK

WHEELS AND NEW TIRES. IT'S ALL TODAY HERE ON TRUCK TECH.

(JEREMY)>> HEY GUYS, WELCOME TO TRUCK TECH, AND TODAY WE'VE GOT OUR HANDS ON AN ALL ALUMINUM 2015 F-150. WE WANTED TO GET ONE OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND SEE WHAT ALL THE FUSS WAS ABOUT.

NOW ONE THING I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THIS F-150 IS THE FACT THEY WERE ABLE TO DROP ABOUT 500 POUNDS OVER THE PREVIOUS MODEL WITH THE CAB AND THE BED. THEY ALSO DROPPED ABOUT 60 TO 70 POUNDS OFF THE FRAME BUT ADDED TWO TO THREE TIMES MORE STRENGTH. ONE THING THAT DIDN'T GO DOWN ON THIS TRUCK WAS THE PRICE. IT CAME IN AT JUST A LITTLE OVER $58,000 DOLLARS. NOW FORD ALSO CLAIMS TO HAVE THE MAXIMUM TOWING CAPABILITY WITH THIS TRUCK AS WELL. WITH A TRAILER YOU CAN HAUL A LITTLE OVER 12,000 POUNDS, AND THE IN BED CAPABILITY IS AROUND 3,300 POUNDS.

SO NEEDLESS TO SAY IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO MOVE, I THINK THIS TRUCK WOULD DO IT. NOW FORD CLAIMS THAT THIS NEW LIGHTER WEIGHT TRUCK CAN GET UP TO 19 MILES PER GALLON CITY AND

UP TO 26 HIGHWAY. AND YOU GUYS THAT FIND YOURSELF OUT ON THE ROAD A LOT, YOU KNOW HOW THIS CAN IMPACT YOUR WALLET. ONE THING THAT REALLY IMPRESSED ME ABOUT THIS TRUCK WAS HOW WELL INSULATED THE INTERIOR WAS. EVEN OUT ON THE HIGHWAY IT WAS ONE OF THE QUIETEST TRUCKS I'VE EVER DRIVEN. I KNOW ONE THING A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BRAGGING ABOUT IS THIS THREE POINT FIVE TWIN TURBO VSIX. NOW YOU THINK OF VSIX AND YOU DON'T THINK A WHOLE LOT OF HORSEPOWER, BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT IN THIS HALF TON TRUCK SHE'S PRETTY PEPPY, THAT'S AWESOME. NOW ALL THAT POWER IS DELIVERED TO THE GROUND THROUGH AN ELECTRONIC SIX SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WHICH MAKES THIS TRUCK EFFORTLESS TO DRIVE. SO LET'S GET IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S ON THE INSIDE.

NOW THE EXTERIOR OF THIS TRUCK LOOKS AWESOME, AND THEY DEFINITELY BUILT THE INTERIOR TO MATCH. THEY'VE GOT LED'S EVERYWHERE, LEATHER ALL THROUGHOUT, A COUPLE OF BIG DISPLAY SCREENS IN THE DASH, AND ABOUT EVERY OPTION YOU CAN IMAGINE.

BUT WITH THE PRICE OF THIS TRUCK THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED. AND AS YOU GUYS KNOW THIS IS TRUCK TECH AND WE CAN'T STAND TO LEAVE ANYTHING ALONE. SO WE'RE GONNA THROW A FEW PARTS AT THIS THING AND SEE IF WE CAN PULL A LITTLE MORE HORSEPOWER OUT OF THAT ALREADY PRETTY POTENT VSIX. NOW SINCE OUR BUDDIES OVER AT LIVERNOIS MOTORSPORTS LOANED US THIS TRUCK, WE DECIDED WE'D TRY OUT A FEW OF THEIR PARTS WHILE WE WERE AT IT. WE PICKED UP THIS COLD AIR INTAKE THAT COMES WITH A FILTER, THE INTAKE TUBE, AND ALL THE HARDWARE TO INSTALL ALONG WITH THIS TUNER THAT THEY CALL A "MY CALIBRATOR" THAT COMES WITH A FEW DIFFERENT TUNES RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. IT HAS A STAGE ONE TUNE THAT WORKS WITH 87 OCTANE FOR LOWER GAINS, WHICH ARE STILL PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. BUT FOR YOU GUYS THAT WANT BIG HORSEPOWER GAINS WITH JUST THE PUSH OF A BUTTON THEY HAVE A STAGE THREE TUNE. BUT THEY ALSO RECOMMEND WITH THE USE OF THIS TUNER YOU PICK UP THEIR EVEN FLOW 160 DEGREE THERMOSTAT. AND FOR YOU GUYS AT HOME, YOU KNOW THE COOLER WE CAN KEEP OUR ENGINES THE BETTER THEY'RE GONNA PERFORM. BUT SINCE I'M MAINLY JUST A PAINT AND BODY GUY WE'VE SOME NEW HELP IN THE SHOP. THIS IS OUR BUDDY LAWRENCE TOLMAN AND WE CALL HIM "LT". HE'S A TOP FLIGHT MECHANIC, HE'S GONNA HELP US INSTALL SOME OF THESE PARTS.

(LT)>> BUT BEFORE WE DO THAT WE'RE GONNA HEAD NEXT DOOR TO ENGINE POWER AND STRAP THIS TRUCK DOWN TO THE DYNO. WE'LL GET A GOOD BASE LINE READING, THAT WAY WE'LL

KNOW EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF POWER GAINS THESE NEW PARTS ARE GONNA PROVIDE.

(JEREMY)>> NOW WE COULD GO DIRECTLY TO FORD AND GET THEIR HORSEPOWER AND TORQUE NUMBERS, BUT WE WANTED TO THROW THIS TRUCK ON THE DYNO AND GET SOME REAL WORLD NUMBERS. AND BESIDES WITH A CHASSIS DYNO WE'RE NOT JUST FINDING OUT ENGINE HORSEPOWER, WE'RE ACTUALLY SEEING HOW MUCH WE'RE PUTTING TO THE GROUND. NOW WE ALWAYS TRY TO AVERAGE THREE RUNS, AND THIS TIME WE CAME UP WITH A BASE LINE OF 293 HORSEPOWER AND 345 FOOT POUNDS OF TORQUE.

(LT)>> INSTALLATION IS FAIRLY STRAIGHT FORWARD. JUST START BY REMOVING THE FACTORY AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY AND INTAKE TUBES.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER TO REMOVE YOUR FACTORY

INLET AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR AS YOU'LL BE

REUSING THIS LATER ON. WHEN YOU'RE REMOVING THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING TO

CHANGE THE THERMOSTAT, BE SURE TO USE A CLEAN DRAIN PAN UNDERNEATH TO COLLECT THE COOLANT. THIS STUFF'S PRETTY EXPENSIVE AND THERE'S NO REASON THAT YOU CAN'T REUSE IT. NOW BECAUSE HORSEPOWER IS HEAT AND WE'RE GONNA BE MAKING MORE OF IT, INSTALLING THIS NEW THERMOSTAT WILL ALLOW OUR ENGINE TO RUN IN A COOLER, SAFER ZONE.

THE FIRST STEP OF INSTALLING THE COLD AIR INTAKE IS INSTALLING THE INLET AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR THAT WE PREVIOUSLY REMOVED. LIVERNOIS USES REENFORCED SILICONE COUPLERS TO MAKE ALL THE CONNECTIONS. NOW IF YOU'RE LIKE ME YOU'LL TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA TIME AND LINE UP ALL THE HOSE CLAMPS SO EVERYTHING LOOKS JUST RIGHT. YOU'LL HAVE TO CLOCK THIS ELBOW WHERE WE INSTALLED THE INLET AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SO THE AIR FILTER LINES UP IN THE CORRECT POSITION.

WITH THE DUCTING MOUNTED YOU CAN PLUG IN THE INLET AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND INSTALL THE AIR FILTER. AND NOW YOU'RE DONE.

(ANNOUNCER)>> AFTER THE BREAK WE'LL GET OUR TUNER AND EXHAUST INSTALLED BEFORE WE GO BACK ON THE DYNO. THEN LATER WE'LL GIVE OUR TRUCK SOME NEW STYLE, STAY TUNED.

(LT)>> HEY GUYS, WELCOME BACK TO TRUCK TECH AND THE TUNE UP OF OUR ALL ALUMINUM 2015 F-150. LIKE MANY TUNERS, THE LIVERNOIS HAND HELD PLUGS INTO THE OBD TWO PORT. AND BY SIMPLY FOLLOWING THE ON SCREEN PROMPTS YOU CAN SELECT BETWEEN STOCK, 91, OR 93 OCTANE TUNE OPTIONS. OBVIOUSLY BEING TRUCK TECH WE WENT FOR THE 93.

NOW THE PROGRAMMER CAN READ AND ALTER MANY DIFFERENT SETTINGS WITHIN YOUR TRUCK'S COMPUTER LIKE IGNITION TIMING AND BOOST PRESSURE TO GIVE YOU THAT OPTIMAL HORSEPOWER. AND IT WILL ALSO READ AND CLEAR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES. NOW THAT WE HAVE THE TUNER INSTALLED AS WELL AS THE COLD AIR INTAKE WE'VE GOT ONE LAST MODIFICATION IN MIND FOR THIS ECOBOOST. IT WILL HELP IT EXHALE QUITE A BIT EASIER AND IT'LL MAKE IT SOUND AS GOOD AS IT'S GOING TO PERFORM. WE WENT TO FORD RACING AND PICKED UP ONE OF THEIR SPORT SERIES CAT BACKS BY BORLA. IT FEATURES ALL STAINLESS STEEL CONSTRUCTION, COMES WITH A RESONATOR AND A MUFFLER WITH DUAL TAIL PIPES.

FOR THE EXHAUST TIPS WE OPTED FOR THAT SINISTER BLACK FINISH. INCLUDED IN THE KIT ARE ALL THE NECESSARY CLAMPS, HANGERS, AND HARDWARE NEEDED TO FINISH THE INSTALLATION. AND THE BEST PART IS IT WON'T VOID YOUR FACTORY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT'S MADE BY FORD.

WITH THE TRUCK UP IN THE AIR IT'S JUST TWO BOLTS, AND THIS ONE CAME OFF EASIER THAN I EXPECTED.

THIS ALL STARTS BY INSTALLING THE MID PIPE WITH RESONATOR. NOW IT HELPS TO HAVE A JACK STAND OR A PULL JACK TO HOLD EVERYTHING IN PLACE WHILE YOU'RE MAKING THE CONNECTIONS.

SOMETIMES IT'S EASIER TO ASSEMBLE PIECES ON THE GROUND, JUST DON'T FORGET THE CLAMPS.

SINCE THIS KIT IS DESIGNED BY FORD IT PLUGS RIGHT INTO THE FACTORY HANGERS, MAKING FOR A QUICK AND EASY INSTALLATION. BECAUSE WE'RE GOING WITH A DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM, WE HAVE TO ADD TWO NEW HANGERS. THEY INSTALL ON THE LOWER SHACKLE BOLTS.

A SHOT OF WD 40 HELPS THE EXHAUST HANGER SLIDE ON.

NOW WE REMOVED THE SPARE TIRE AND HEAT SHIELD SO WE COULD BETTER SHOW YOU HOW THIS KIT INSTALLS, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT THIS KIT WILL WORK WITH THE FACTORY SPARE TIRE, HEAT SHIELDS, AND THE RECEIVER HITCH IN PLACE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMOVE ANY OF IT.

AS WITH ANY EXHAUST SYSTEM, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE

ALL THE PIECES INSTALLED AND LINED UP WHERE YOU WANT THEM BEFORE YOU TIGHTEN ANY OF THE CLAMPS.

BACK ON ENGINE POWER'S CHASSIS DYNO WE RECORDED A

BEST RUN OF 371 HORSEPOWER AND 494 FOOT POUNDS OF TORQUE. HOWEVER TO GET A PROPER AVERAGE WE THREW OUT THE HIGHS AND LOWS AND WE CAME UP WITH 362 HORSEPOWER AND 468 FOOT POUNDS OF TORQUE ON THE 93 OCTANE TUNE. NOW THAT MEANS WE GAINED 69 HORSEPOWER AND 123 FOOT POUNDS OF TORQUE, BUT THAT'S NOT ALL YOU'LL GET FROM THIS TUNER.

(DAN)>> PEDAL FEEL, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING, TORQUE REDUCTION, ALL THAT STUFF FROM THE FACTORY IS SO AGGRESSIVE. IT ALMOST MAKES THE TRUCK NO FUN TO DRIVE.

SO WE START TAKING SOME OF THE TORQUE REDUCTION OUT, ADDING THE PEDAL FEEL, MAKING IT SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DRIVER FRIENDLY. A GUY STEPS ON THE GAS THE TRUCK GOES, NOT I'VE GOT TO GET HALF WAY INTO THE THROTTLE FOR THE THING TO ACTUALLY MOVE. SO THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.

(LT)>> WHAT'D WE GET?

(JEREMY)>> PRETTY GOOD, 366 POWER, WE GOT 470 TORQUE.

(LT)>> NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

(JEREMY)>> THAT'S AWESOME!

(LT)>> THAT IS A BAD LITTLE VSIX, WOW!

(ANNOUNCER)>> WHEN WE COME BACK WE'LL TAKE A TRIP TO UTI, STICK AROUND.

(JEREMY)>> SALES OF BIG THREE DIESEL PICK UPS LIKE THIS F-350 POWERSTROKE ARE HOT, AND SOON NISSAN AND TOYOTA WILL BE JUMPING IN WITH THEIR NEW DIESELS. BUT THE BIGGEST PART OF THIS INDUSTRY IS COMMERCIAL RIGS AND INDUSTRIAL DIESELS, WHICH CREATE A HIGH DEMAND FOR PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED TECHNICIANS. THIS IS UNIVERSAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE'S CAMPUS IN AVONDALE, ARIZONA. ONE OF 12 UTI LOCATIONS NATIONWIDE THAT AS A WHOLE HAVE TRAINED OVER 190,000 TECHS TO REPAIR ALL THINGS MECHANICAL, FROM CARS AND MOTORCYCLES TO MARINE, AND AS WE'LL SEE TODAY, DIESEL.

(LT)>> IT'S A STATE OF THE INDUSTRY COMPLEX APPROXIMATELY 248,000 SQUARE FEET WHERE INSTRUCTORS TEACH COURSES INCLUDING ENTRY LEVEL TECH.

( )>> OKAY SO THAT'S A CROSS SHORT TO POWER RIGHT?

(LT)>> HYBRID TECHNOLOGY, AND ENGINE BUILDING AND DYNO TESTING, EVEN MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC ADVANCED TRAINING. AND IT ALSO SPECIALIZES IN DIESEL TECHNOLOGY, FROM ELECTRONICS AND POWERTRAIN TO HYDRAULICS

AND REFRIGERATION. UTI'S MISSION, EDUCATE NEW PROFESSIONAL TECHS TO FILL THE GROWING DEMAND FOR DIESEL JOBS.

(MIKE)>> WE'RE EVEN SIGNIFICANT DEMAND BECAUSE WE'RE WATCHING A DRAW OUT OF THE INDUSTRY OF OUR BABY BOOMERS RETIRING OUT. AND SO THAT'S CREATING A VACUUM OF NEED FOR YOUNGER TECHNICIANS TO MOVE INTO THAT MARKET. SO A TECHNICIAN GETTING THAT DIESEL LEVEL TRAINING, AGAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, CAN ACTUALLY GO OUT AND WORK IN OVER THE ROAD TRUCKING, TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY AS WELL AS THAT IN MINING FACILITIES, IN FACTORIES AS A WHOLE. SO THEY CAN REALLY TRANSLATE THAT TO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT AREAS, LEADING TO VERY LONG CAREER PATHS.

(LT)>> THOSE CAREER PATHS START WITH INTENSIVE INSTRUCTION TO HELP PREPARE STUDENTS FOR ASC CERTIFICATION, INCLUDING HANDS ON TRAINING IN AREAS LIKE HEAVY DUTY POWERTRAIN WHERE INSTRUCTOR DENNIS DOUGHERTY TEACHES REAL WORLD PROBLEM SOLVING ON TRANSMISSIONS LIKE THIS 13 SPEED FROM A CLASSA BIG RIG.

(DENNIS)>> ACTUALLY IF YOU COME AROUND THIS WAY YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE SHIFT FORKS MOVING IN HERE. SO AGAIN, THIS BLACK BUTTON HERE, THAT'S GONNA GIVE US LOW AND HIGH RANGE.

THE RED BUTTON IS GONNA GIVE US OVERDRIVE.

(JEREMY)>> AND THE BENEFIT IS MORE THAN LAB INSTRUCTION.

(DENNIS)>> UTI ACTUALLY BRINGS A LOT TO THE TABLE. WE MOLD THEM, WE GIVE THEM THE RIGHT ATTITUDE, THE RIGHT INFORMATION THEY NEED. WE HELP THEM IN ANY WE CAN TO BE SUCCESSFUL HERE AND

IN THE FIELD.

(JEREMY)>> AND UTI HAS A UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP WITH INDUSTRY LEADERS LIKE SHELL LUBRICANTS ROTELLA. MARKETING DIRECTOR DON MOSER SUPPORTS A UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP.

(DON)>> AS WE REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT UTI WAS ALL ABOUT, CHANGING LIVES AND REALLY MAKING THE IMPACT ON THESE STUDENTS GOING FORWARD, WE REALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT IDEA AS WELL. AND IT REALLY IS SOMETHING THAT WE BELIEVE IN. ANY OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE NOW TO REALLY ENGAGE AND

EMBED OURSELVES INTO THE FABRIC OF WHAT UTI IS DOING HERE WITH THESE STUDENTS IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO AS WELL.

WE REALLY FOCUS A LOT OF OUR EFFORTS ON EDUCATING THE INSTRUCTORS.

YEAH UPGRADING THEIR EDUCATION AND HOW THEY SEE OIL, OR HOW THEY SEE LUBRICATION, AND HOW THE TECHNOLOGIES WERE WORKING. SO WE WORK HARD TO INSURE THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT CURRICULUM, THEY'RE EXPOSED TO THAT CURRICULUM, AND THEN THE INSTRUCTORS CAN THEN SHARE THAT LEARNING WITH THE STUDENTS AS THEY GO THROUGH THEIR PROGRAMS. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE WORK THEY'RE DOING HERE,

WE'RE EXCITED TO BE A PART OF IT, AND WE'RE PROUD TO BE A PART OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

(JEREMY)>> WITH THAT LEVEL OF SUPPORT AND CORE DIESEL

TRAINING BEHIND THEM, THE NEXT STEP IS MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC ADVANCED TRAINING.

(LT)>> UTI PARTNERS WITH MANUFACTURERS OF OVER 30 BRANDS, ONE OF THEM BEING CUMMINS. CUMMINS GRADUATES CAN EARN AN ARRAY OF QUALIFICATIONS

RECOGNIZED BY CUMMINS DISTRIBUTORS ACCORDING TO

VETERAN TEAM LEADER JIM BEAR.

(JIM)>> THEY'RE VERY HIGHLY PRIZED BY THE DISTRIBUTORS AND CUMMINS SHOPS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. SO IT PUTS YOU STEPS AND HEADS ABOVE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY EMPLOYED, AND IT MAKES YOU MORE EMPLOYABLE.

(LT)>> UTI ALSO OFFERS PROGRAMS FEATURING TRUCK MANUFACTURERS PETERBILT, INTERNATIONAL, AND DAIMLER TRUCK NORTH AMERICA. FINISH FIRST PROGRAM INSTRUCTOR STEPHANIE BERDEAUX SHARES HERE EXPERIENCES AS A UTI GRAD.

(STEPHANIE)>> IT'S FAST MOVING, YOU'RE IN LAB, YOU'RE WORKING WITH THE INSTRUCTORS, YOU'RE GETTING ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE, EVERYTHING'S GOOD, AND THEN NOW YOU HAVE A JOB LINED UP READY TO GO. AND WHEN YOU GRADUATE, BOOM, YOU'RE ALREADY IN THE INDUSTRY MOVING ON WITH LIFE.

(JEREMY)>> IN ADDITION UTI WILL MAKE AVAILABLE OVER $15 MILLION DOLLARS IN SPONSORED SCHOLARSHIPS IN 2015 AND HELP FIND WORK FOR STUDENTS WHILE IN SCHOOL.

(CHERYL)>> WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HELPING THEM TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS WHILE THEY'RE GOING THROUGH SCHOOL. SO PART OF THAT IS HELPING THEM GET A JOB WHILE THEY'RE GOING TO SCHOOL. THEY COULD BE WORKING AT A PART SHOP, PIZZA DELIVERY, AUTOMOTIVE DEALERSHIP. WE'RE HERE TO ASSIST THEM SO THEY CAN HAVE A PAY CHECK COMING IN AND BE SUCCESSFUL WHILE THEY'RE GOING THROUGH SCHOOL.

(JEREMY)>> AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES INCLUDE RESUME BUILDING, INTERVIEW SKILLS, AND HELP WITH JOB OPENINGS.

(CHERYL)>> WE HAVE OUR JOB BOARDS, WHICH ACTUALLY IS

A MAP OF THE UNITED STATES, WHICH SHOWS WHERE ALL OF OUR OPEN POSITIONS ARE CURRENTLY THROUGHOUT ALL THE STATES FOR ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES AND ALL OF OUR GRADUATES TO SEE. WE HAVE MANY, MANY GRADUATES EACH YEAR THAT

GRADUATE FROM UTI, AND THEIR SUCCESS SHOWS IN OUR EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES.

(LT)>> THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS, UNIVERSAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE IS A GREAT PLACE TO LEARN THE SKILLS AND FIND THE SUPPORT TO HELP YOU START A NEW CAREER IN THE BOOMING DIESEL INDUSTRY. YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE BY VISITING UTI DOT EDU TODAY.

(JEREMY)>> HEY GUYS, WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOP. NOW THAT WE'VE GOT OUR 2015 F-150 RUNNING AND BREATHING BETTER, WELL WE DIDN'T STOP THERE. WE WANTED TO MAKE IT LOOK A LITTLE BETTER WITH A SET OF THESE. THIS IS MICKEY THOMPSON'S DEEGAN 38'S. THEY'RE A 20 BY NINE EIGHT SPOKE DESIGN WITH A TWO STAGE MATTE BLACK FINISH.

THOMPSON BAJA STZ'S. AND SINCE THIS IS A STREET TRUCK WE WENT WITH AN ALL

WEATHER TRACTION TIRE AND THEY'LL ALSO RIDE REALLY QUIET.

LOOKS GOOD. BUT BEFORE WE SET THIS TRUCK ON THE GROUND WE'RE GONNA INSTALL ONE OF THESE IGNITION KEY OPERATED BOLT LOCKS IN OUR RECEIVER HITCH. THEY'RE A PRETTY COOL DESIGN, LET ME SHOW YOU HOW THEY WORK. AND THE PROCESS IS AS SIMPLE AS TAKING YOUR FACTORY IGNITION KEY, SLIDING IT INTO THE LOCK,

GIVING IT A TURN, AND IT PROGRAMS THE LOCK TO YOUR KEY. THEY ALSO CARRY THESE PAD LOCKS, CABLE LOCKS, AND EVEN A LOCK FOR YOUR TRAILER. AND THEY CARRY LOCKS FOR ALMOST ANY MAKE OF TRUCK. WELL LET'S SEE WHAT OUR FORD LOOKS LIKE ON THE GROUND. WELL THERE YOU! NOT ONLY DOES THE TRUCK RUN A WHOLE LOT BETTER, WELL IT LOOKS KILLER TOO. NOW THIS IS AUTO METAL DIRECT'S NEW REPRODUCTION FENDER FOR A 1967 EL CAMINO. NOW THEY'RE STAMPED OUT OF HIGH QUALITY HEAVY GAUGE STEEL, AND I'VE USED A LOT OF THEIR PARTS OVER THE YEARS. WHAT I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THEM IS THEIR BODY LINES SEEM TO MATCH UP REALLY WELL, THEY SHIP THEM IN THIS BLACK ECOAT, AND THERE'S MINIMUM PREP WORK BEFORE PAINT. AND FOR YOU CAR GUYS THIS WILL ALSO FIT A 1967 CHEVELLE. NOW AUTO METAL DIRECT NOT ONLY MAKES SHEET METAL, THEY MAKE A VARIETY OF PARTS TO RESTORE YOUR OLD HOT ROD. SO CHECK OUT AMD. THIS IS EBC BRAKES' BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS FOR AN '04 AND UP F-150. THIS IS THEIR YELLOW STUFF BRAKE PAD. IT'S A HIGH PERFORMANCE PAD THAT STILL HAS REALLY GOOD STREET MANNERS.
