    Torq2.2 on my 450 C&C Work Truck

    I love my 450 C&C truck, no issues at all, except one. Down low it just didn't have an grunt. I'd lay into it and it'd take until 2nd gear for it to get a solid pull out of the truck. I'm going to be pulling a 7'x18' dual axle open trailer with frames regularly soon and didn't want to have any...

    Painted headlights?

    As Kris mentioned above, Bert at Plain an Simple does real nice work. He can do simple PTM work all the way up to SEMA style paint, LED, projector combos. Here's mine I got from him. Full Tux Black PTM with custom fit projectors in stock housings. He has lights in stock and doesn't require a...

    Truck died!!??

    If you're stacking with the T2.2, I'd turn that down to 80% or so and you should be on your way. Otherwise, you can go the other way around. Start at 0 and slowly add the Torq to the mix and find the happy median.

    Truck died!!??

    I want to take a stab and say it has something to do with torque truncation. If it pulls fuel hard enough, I think the truck shuts off. I could be wrong, but I remember something along those lines. Just my 2.

    Like mentioned, I just bought a paintable grille surround and installed it on my stock grille.

    Get XL bumper take offs, way cheaper than KR bumpers, come primed and ready to paint. I was in for my bumper, grill surround, and paint for $900 total. Even better, sold my chrome bumpers for $500. It was worth the upgrade. Here's how my truck sits now.

    Bigger fuel tank..

    I meant refresh as in 2015... I'm always thinking ahead lol

    Bigger fuel tank..

    This is my biggest complaint with the truck. Dustin is totally right, it's realistically 22 gallons at best. Fortunately my 450 actually came with a 46 gallon tank, but my 250 is just sad. Hope Ford somehow updates that tanks to AT LEAST 150 size with the new refresh. I'm considering a titan as...

    My new F450 work truck! (pic heavy)

    Truck looks great man! Glad you're happy with the purchase too! Was talking with dad today about the 450 and hinting that some 22" AFs would be some icing on this big red cake lol Hopefully by summer we'll have some new shoes!

    badges

    Just a suggestion. He mentioned copper wire above, while that isn't a bad idea, I always use fishing string on all my badges. Much safer for paint just incase you do happen to slip. Good heat and steady movement and you'll be done the whole deal in 10 minutes tops.

    CB's in your 6.7

    Sounds good man. I noticed it looks like one bolt into the empty pocket on the console there, so that is pretty nice if you were to change it up later.

    I don't think it'll be a downgrade at all. I think you're gonna love the truck. Looking forward to what you have to say about it once it comes in! :redspotdance:

    CB's in your 6.7

    Just have to ask Don, you couldn't modify the map pocket right to the right of where you mounted the radio? Looks like that's really in the way. But that's just me. I'll snag a pic of my radio in my 450. Without the flow through center console it leaves a real nice spot for it down by the floor.

    Afe intake throwing codes

    Never saw a problem on my bone stock truck running just the AFE. Don't know what it could be, all plugs securely installed in and around the intake? These trucks are more sensitive than ever fwiw

    My new F450 work truck! (pic heavy)

    I do have both as Johnny mentioned above. At the moment both are stock too. Took the Torq2 off my 250 for now cause I'm going to grab a new T2.2 when I have the coin. I'll say this. Throttle response in my 250 is noticeably better. Mind you, the 450 weighs 10k pounds without any added bed...

    Cold Air

    It was the first thing I did on my 2011 when I got it. Noticed that throttle response was a tad better and you could truthfully hear a difference from under the hood as well. I have an AFE fwiw

    My new F450 work truck! (pic heavy)

    I wish I had some, but not at the moment. Keeping up with work so I can hopefully buy some fresh wheels and tires when the season kicks in! Me tooooo :drool: Truck is running great! At 2800 miles now (not a lot for some of you road dogs) but the truck is definitely running great and I have not...
