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!! 👍
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!
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
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.
Sounds really good dawg. Good thing you're in the country. City people don't like them loud pipes. I'm in the country part of forest Mississippi. We revv loud pipes a lot round here lol.
I remember the first time I put a real aftermarket exhaust (MagnaFlow) on my 2001 Ford Expedition XLT. I never turned on my radio again. I just loved listening to that small block. Did the same on my 2004 Explorer XLT and that 4.0/V-6 sounded wicked (it's on my channel's trailer).
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 !
I have a 1987 Chevrolet Caprice mint car garage kept 250,000+ had motor replaced to keep her going Turns out full throttle is only 1/6 throttle haha. Very peppy now definitely would recommend.
My 1993 2.3 5sp 2wd has 506,000+ on original engine transmission and rear end! Been my daily to work truck for last 12 years. I got it 12 years ago for $1400 because it needed a new hydraulic clutch cylinder. Amazing what regular maintenance and some preventative maintenance does!!! No tics taps or raps, nor does it leak anything
I just did the plugs, wires and coils. The ground strap was crazy thin, the gap was probably .070 or .080. Next is the ICM and heater core. Then headliner and center console. Its a beater but better on gas than my 6.2 Silverado
@@johnnyp5573 auto or stick? Only real issue I've had is the hydraulic clutch. I'm on like #3 maybe 4. Clutch not a problem, it's that hydraulic slave cylinder. I'm an asphalt guy so I'm all over the state of Pa. Don't wanna get asphalt all over my nice car n truck. Good luck with yours
As soon as I read the title I knew exactly where those zipties were going. I did the same thing to my 98 mustang cobra and it felt like it gained 30% more power also.
@fido139 I'm definitely not doing what he did. I have a mean sounding 500hp V8 Lexus that I have for fun, the truck is going to be subtle or stay untouched.
@@andrewshedron425 I didn't say shit about my car 2 months go when I left that first comment. 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. Keep up, son, it wasn't that difficult to follow.
sounds like catless straight pipe, if you’re looking for a pretty mild volume that still sounds good I would go with a flow master flow fx, specifically the one that looks similar to a glass pack, got some on my truck and I love them
Ol Larry’s transmission sounds a little slow and tired, maybe even a little slippage on that first pull.😬 Might not be a good idea to beat on it that hard. I think he deserves a fresh trans, he’s treated ya pretty good over the years!
I thought I'd go about correcting the issue the "right" way on my truck by replacing the cable with the updated part number. Put the new cable in, and it was almost the same length as the stretched cable.
@@davidl546 I'd expect better from A) something as explicitly designed as a cable, B) from Ford's Motorcraft line, and C) a part supersession. New parts may not be perfect, but this one's baffling.
Unless you actually looked at the throttle stop before and after the zip ties you don’t really know how much you gained or didn’t gain… every pedal has that play where you can lift it up
@@05cateye96clapped exhaust gives a high school broke boy vibe. Remember kids people aren’t rolling up the window cause it’s loud, they’re rolling it up cause it sounds like 💩
Now, if you want it to go REALLY fast you need a peel & stick hood scoop and a sticker that says TURBO.
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
i have 02 Silverado and it had the same throttle problem and this worked on my truck thank you!!!!

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
Just put 3 ties on my '02 lariat. Thanks for the tip! Excited to test it out otw home from work.

What’s the brand or model of those new headlights? I need to look them up and order some

Love the videos keep up the good work
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
I remember the first time I put a real aftermarket exhaust (MagnaFlow) on my 2001 Ford Expedition XLT. I never turned on my radio again.

You should swap the front valance on Larry with one that has fog lights or put a expedition one on
Get some sequential tube switchbacks to fill in the gap on the headlight!!! I’ve been wanting to try it on my 01 Silverado but haven’t tried yet!!
Was wondering what lift kit you used? Also, how do I install it myself?
Those cables all stretch over time. Just cut a couple inches off and make it all tight again. No need for zip tie spacers.
I was thinking the same thing. There should be a way to tighten it up by where it connects to the throttle body.
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 !
Love the Larry content
Did u place 5 to 6 lug spacers to run those wheels?
Those triton motors are pretty decent. I used to own a 99 extended cab Eddie Bauer edition. It ran very good.
I think Larry needs a green color matched grille and silver bumper plastics to match the two tone
I was just about to comment this😂
@@SilaLeel 🤣🤣
@@SilaLeelgreat minds think alike
yes!
Larry sounds amazing!
Have somebody push the pedal down and hold then see if there is anymore slack at the the throttle body .
Been watching Larry for awhile now, looking good, good job I'm jealous

Chase this video could not have had better timing!!! Working on a 2.3L 94 Ranger as a DD. Just did this mod and it seems promising!!!

Larry be lookin good!
Beautiful truck 🛻 great sound as well
Should have done a before and after with the Dragy 👍
Have you done all 8 spark plugs?
Love the headlights!! ❤
I agree
It's always a good when imfscrew posts a new video

How do you do all that. I know my pedal is doing it
What headlights were these?
All Larry needs now is 4:10s or 4:56 gears to shoot down the road like a Tesla
It needs some PTM an a fog light bumper 🤘🏻 or even a Ranch hand.
I remember noticing the same thing many years ago with my old 71 Lemans GT. But I don’t remember how I took up the slack. It was about 50 years ago.
Those clips on top of the headlights should come off… they are just there from where they sealed the lights together
You should check Chomper and see if it’s like that too
Chopper is electric throttle body
Yea drive by wire
Idk… I have an 05 gmc sierra looks exactly like chomper to t and it’s cable driven
@@rickiewebb4429it shouldn’t any gm vehicle 03 and up should be electric throttle body
All 03 + is DBW. My ls swapped C10 is DBW
Larry vs Chomper pull off in the field? 😮
What did you do to that exhaust so I know what not to do to mine?
Just don't do anything.

@@greebuhso why are you asking? Sure seems like you just needed a way to talk about your 500hp motor without looking like a douche. It didn't work

I have a 2004 f150 doing slow upgrades to it im wanting to put a different muffler its the 5.3 triton motor what is the best one to buy its gas v8
I got the same clear setup on mine,depo brand heads corner and fogs
Is that 2wd?
I did this on my 74 datson coupe works great I now have 48hp instead of 30 it will do 68mph now and it was 55 downhill on a good day.
What is Larry’s muffler set up
You could replace the throttle cable.
That was great! Thanks
Dang I may have to check my 2000 Silverado throttle cable
Literally thinking the same to my self
Larry literally sounds like a Honda in the mid high rpms 😂 those true duals have to go bro pls
That smile 😂 like yessing zipties lmfao you should of done that years ago
Dragy test on larry??
Larry has changed my opinion on 10th gens
When it hangs wide open make sure you give it a yeet yeet
i did the zip tie cable think u did my truck it’s crazy how much it helsp
There's a big difference between 30% more throttle and 30% more power.

Needs the valve bodies drilled out

Do a 0-60, youve done your other trucks why not do larry? Especially since you got more usable skinny pedal
5.4🤤2 valve ford's best gas engine
what exhaust do you have
Nice.
Great discovery
Larry need some milk sounding like that .
lifted 2 Wheeler ?
I have the same yellowing lenses, less than a year old. Guess that's what you get for $60
Plexus
Did this today, somehow my trans isn’t hard shifting no more???
Racing stripes always make u go faster 😊
Unless you actually looked at the throttle stop before and after the zip ties you don’t really know how much you gained or didn’t gain… every pedal has that play where you can lift it up
add a chrome spoiler for +50HP
I did this except I used washer on my expedition and it made a world of difference!!
Better worry about that front end before wanting to go full throttle.
Makes since why my cable has a loop on the actual throttle body lol 😂 and it still has slack
Over time cables stretch.. that is quite a bit of stretch..
Here's a thought maybe just buy and replace the throttle cable.
🔥🤟
Larry needs a better exhaust, the clapping sounds horrible imo
Ps.. not trying to hate love your channel
He deleted 2 cats and it’s hard to achieve loudness without the ugly ass clap sound in truck motors maybe his exhaust are uneven lengths
@@juanmfg4741 it’s him angling them down like that their echoing off the ground
Nah the clap is the whole point, it sounds good
He needs a cross over x or h pipe and needs a side exit instead of bending to the rear exit

That’s why we call it Petal to Metal! Let’s Gooooo!!
I prefer doubled up crimps to take up that cable slack
I did this about a month ago to my 99 f150 an it lasted two more weeks now I gotta blown head gasket🤣🤣
Gimme that truck!
I’m do that tomorrow to my 97 f150 4.6
I did this with my 10th gen ford it just woke it up it seemed like
Cam Larry 😎
It’s works I did this with my brother ranger a couple years ago 😂
Now your spark plugs gonna shoot out that head.
4:08 that’s sounds good
Youd probably get 30-40 percent of your felt power back by getting rid of the lift/ mt's
Bumper next
build a ram 1500 5.7L Hemi
Ok seriously time to replace the rest of the plugs and shorty headers
Larry is so nice 😍
I used to do this..throttle response shows
And thennew headlights look like the next gen lights
Larry needs a true exhaust!
Bruh that’s as true as you can get them. True duals is the way to have an exhaust 😂
@@kyleshawstad4990 Nah, X-pipe.
My 2008 f150 is electronic. No cable.
