GAIN 30% POWER ONLY USING ZIP TIES!!!

[@marcuspetford1098]

Now, if you want it to go REALLY fast you need a peel & stick hood scoop and a sticker that says TURBO.

[@RogueBurn]

You're not gaining 30% hp. You're reclaiming your throttle response.

[@That_5.4Lariat]

I’ll definitely have to do that on my 10th gen, feels like it’s halfway to the floor just being easy on it haha. Thanks for the idea

[@markdavis5852]

Wow what a simple fix, I went out right after watching your video, sure enough I had 2 inches of cable extra, put on the zip ties and my 97 f150 with 245000 miles has new power! Thanks for the video 👍

[@TheSlegathor]

did this on my truck took all of a minute and gave me so much more power. gave my 25 year old tenth gen her power back

[@wyatt997]

i have 02 Silverado and it had the same throttle problem and this worked on my truck thank you!!!!

[@jlautomotive6349]

First off, L…A…R…R…Y…!!!!!!! love the new headlights… I bought the same design for my old ‘99 F150 and loved them. They look like the ‘04-08 generation and look killer!! Secondly, my ‘99 felt the same way so it probably had that same issue with the cable!! Keep up the incredible work!! 👍

[@a10warthog75]

That is great I have a 02 and a 03 10th Gen. First thing tomorrow is the zip tie spacer, thank you keep up the content. 🇺🇸

[@markvitagliano27]

I had a 99 lariat, green and gold. Awesome truck , I did the same thing, worked well. The biggest improvement was the larger throttle body. It was reasonably cheap on eBay. It just bolted on. A new return spring and a high flow air filter was worth about 40 horsepower more all said and done.

[@djfazher]

I noticed the same gap on my 97 Chevy pickup and was thinking of what to use to accomplish this hack, but had not considered zip ties. I will do this to it. Thank you for the video!

[@justinhenrey7317]

good video, first off could i suggest a new throttle cable?

[@driverguy7]

Not a bad idea, if the throttle cable stretches that bad, consider replacing it with a new one. Also, there was a slight wobble in your steering wheel that looks to me like your alignment is a little off. But it was steady when you were cruising. Nice truck, have a good week !

[@bryankreoger1223]

You can achieve the same thing by bending the bracket that holds the cable at the throttle body. It did make a noticable difference in a 4.3

my dad had a 2000 with a 5.4 stock exhaust and true full throttle sounded amazing and never got stretched that I remember and something i noticed before he sold it was that it felt that it had a massive cam but it was just plugs

[@chainsawsurgeon6108]

Have somebody push the pedal down and hold then see if there is anymore slack at the the throttle body .

[@TheTopGun920]

Those cables all stretch over time. Just cut a couple inches off and make it all tight again. No need for zip tie spacers.

[@samsaverino8159]

I was thinking the same thing. There should be a way to tighten it up by where it connects to the throttle body.

[@greebuh]

[@fido139]

Just don't do anything.

And I said why I was asking when I left that comment, If I want to put an exhaust on my f150 I don't want it to sound like shit like the truck in the vid, so I want to know what he did to make it sound that way.

[@zachariahz9832]

Now you just need to J-mod that slow shifting 4r70w and you will really have something.

[@andrewhigdon8346]

For real though, at 2:02, that alignment is pretty bad. The front wheels should be exactly parallel to each other, and both exactly vertical. His passenger side wheel was leaning in(negative camber), and his drivers side wheel is about right, maybe. With the steering wheel dead straight, hopefully one of the wheels is also pointed dead straight. His passenger side wheel is taking a slight right hand turn while the drivers side is taking a slight left hand turn, but much less. No bullshit. Fix that and you’ll gain more acceleration that what you did with those zip ties. Especially with those big blocky tires, any scrubbing is like pushing an anchor down the street, not to mention I’ll bet those tires were $300+ a piece , and they won’t last 10,000 miles with that alignment. Unless you are dirt only. Even then, with the wheels fighting each other and the truck, you might as well put a piece of wood under the gas pedal and pour some water in the tank. Use a tape measure to find the distance between an exact same point, like the inner most point of the sidewall, at it’s rear most point, which will be halfway up, like the 3 o’clock position, and then the 9 o’clock position, both on the inside sidewall and compare the two measurements. They should be the same. I’ll bet a $3 bill that the front of the tires is 3/4” or more further apart than the rear part of those tires. You’ll find tie- rod collars between each outer and inner tie- rod and, or maybe the inner tie-rod simply turns when you break loose a nut which holds the tie rod adjusters in place after you are done. Find a level or cut a piece of aluminum or steel to fit just inside the lip of your wheels, at the diameter, and use a level to see what angle your wheels are, meaning the top part should be exactly above the bottom part. Turn the adjusters to see which way the wheel is moving, but count how many revolutions you do on each side, and which direction. Very important. And use ratchet straps to hold the steering wheel exactly dead center. It’ll turn tighter, more stable, quieter, and wear your tires less, cut a couple of tenths(maybe) off your 0-60 time, get better mileage, all just by getting those front wheels pointed in the right directions. Would you place your foot with the outer edge leading each step? That would suck and your outer sole would wear prematurely. Get it? Got it? Good. Also, sign up to the LKQ website, if y’all have one within 50 miles, and punch in whatever years are compatible with your truck’s parts, and you’ll get emails whenever Ford trucks with interchangeable parts show up. A seat swap is a breeze, and cheap. While you’re at it, just park your truck inside the gate and walk home, you’ll be better off! That was a bad joke. Lord I do apologize for that cheap joke. The truck is nice. Be proud. Screw the naysayers. I’m just trying to help, and YOU can do it all yourself. Just read and watch a zillion how-to’s, ignore the crap that seems like BS, remember the right ways, get at it. Imagine having to replace those tires tomorrow . It wouldn’t be in my budget for sure. But that time will come down bearing on your neck, and you’ll be stressed too much, over something you could have prevented. For real. Do it. Do it.
