2005 Ford F150 STX 4x2
The Beginning
My father purchased the truck in January of 2006 from a dealership in San Antonio, Texas. The truck only had 9,000 miles on it, and was perfect to trade our minivan for. My father and I took many trips in this truck, going from coast to coast visiting family, as well as taking care of some personal affairs. This truck was also a daily commuter for my father. I obtained ownership of the vehicle when he passed away and have had the dream of making it into a truck that he would be proud of. One that would make people realize the capabilities of 1/2 ton trucks, as well as being able to take it out on a "night on the town".
Current Position
- I am currently trying to save up money to install electric fans, and will post videos soon of the truck. After fan installation is complete, I will then post another video showing the benefits of the fan. 1/10/12
- I have just recently purchased and installed a Flex-A-Lite Monster 270 electric fan kit and an Edge® Evolution CTS programmer and oh what a difference it made! Acceleration and MPG gains are huge! Now I'm looking at trying to add a little extra stopping power.
- Replaced the NGK® V-power with the NGK® Iridium Series plugs and noticed quite a bit of difference! I like the Iridium plugs! 01
My Goals
My goals for this truck are to make it a show-quality, high performance truck. This truck will be capable of pulling heavy loads, while still being able to be seen in the public eye as a show truck as well as look outstanding at fundraisers, promotions, and other special events.
