Guys are using the Ecological bumper covers for color matching.

Can't wait to see what you do with it! Although...doesn't this gen of 5.0 have cylinder deactivation...? With all the issues the GM trucks are having, hopefully Fords system won't be as problemactic.

Oh, with my 5.0/10sp/3.73 truck...the drone was brutal when I tried to do anything with aftermarket exhaust.
I found this thread and built my own "Helmholtz resonator" and it completely solved the problem.

Good info on the exhaust!

From what I’ve read Livernois tunes offer revisions on cyl deactivation.

Man that’s bad ass. I can never seem to find 5.0L A10 single cabs.

I know someone that has one for sale :cool:

Nice mods, sir! I like the Shelby 22" wheels a lot. Do you have any photos with the wheels mounted, or are you waiting a bit?

I’m going to try and wait a while, I kind of like the look of the steel wheels but mostly can’t stand taking off a perfectly good (brand new) set of Michelin tires and wheels especially to sell for Pennies on the dollar.

I don’t have room to store them because my garage is filled with t-bird turbo coupe parts and I still plan on getting a set of Weld wheels for the track so I’ll have to build a wall rack for those.


I really like the Shelby wheels too but thankful I’ve learned to have a little bit of patience as I’ve gotten older

I also just blacked out the chrome trim on the center caps.

Looks SWEET!! I see keeping the steelies on didn't last long... LOL! Don't blame you a bit!
Color matching should really clean up it up and make it look like a more premium model, at a fraction of the cost.
Another thing, if you want to black out the rear wheel wells, rear wheel well liners are fairly cheap for these trucks.

Thank you!

Yes, wheel liners are definitely on the list! I might just do those next.
