Decades of prayers were answered when Ford announced that a diesel was going to make it into the 2018 F150s, and while we here at Stage 3 were among the cynics who glowered at the thought of a truck built purely for fuel economy, we were quickly proven wrong. And what's even better is that 5-Star has just released their custom tuning for the the 2018 F150 3.0L Powerstrokes which adds a ton more torque and horsepower to an already extremely torquey motor.

Even though the stock differentials of the F150s do their best, there's a ton of room for improvement in regards to handling and traction, even if your F150 is equipped with a factory limited-slip differential or E-Locker. If you want a nice increase in traction and handling both on and off the road, the Powertrax Grip Pro LSDs may be right up your alley. Like all LSDs, they stay unlocked during normal driving and turning, but lock when your tires start to slip. Unlike more basic LSDs, however, the Grip Pro LSDs use spiral gears instead of clutch packs, which give them almost instant and extremely quiet operation, along with the ability to provide variable traction based on throttle input. Since they don't have clutch packs, the Grip Pro LSDs also don't require friction modifiers or periodic maintenance. Models for the 9.75" and older 8.8" rear ends are now available. A version for the new Super 8.8" rear ends are slated for release in early 2019.

Our friends over at aFe Power have long been an authority on aftermarket intake kits, and with the newly-announced Quantum Pro series intakes just over the horizon, that won't be changing any time soon. These innovative, highly efficient intake kits come in both dry filter and oiled filter variants, and are designed for quick, hassle-free installation. More importantly, the oiled version can deliver a boost in power up to +17 horsepower and +46 lb-ft of torque, which is frankly insane. The two new kits opened up for pre-order today with a late summer release window, so those interested can expect theirs to ship in the coming weeks.

The factory expansion tank on the 2011-2014 F150s is not all that great. Its plastic construction makes it prone to cracking, leaking, and getting cloudy, all of which give you an unnecessary hassle when it comes to taking care of your F150. Mishimoto's 6-Quart Aluminum Expansion Tank is a huge improvement in design and construction over stock. Mishimoto's 2011-2014 F150 expansion tank is made entirely out of aluminum and won't crack. Mishimoto's tank even has an exterior level that makes it easy to tall how much coolant you have in the expansion tank. The tank holds 33% more coolant than stock and comes with everything you need to get it installed on your F150.

Saying we've had some over-the-top builds in the past might be an understatement, with most of our builds riding on big lifts and rugged off-road tires, decked out head-to-tail in LED lights and other accessories. This time, however, we're going in another direction with our newest F150 build. Our first take on the tweaked 2018 F150 will be a more subtle, modest affair in relation to our previous builds. This blog will be your one-stop resource for all things Stage 3 Budget Build, updated regularly to reflect the latest mods, so be sure to bookmark this one!

Looking to increase airflow and improve throttle response in style? Sinister Diesel has you covered. Their new cold air intake kit for the 2017 to 2018 F250 and F350 6.7L Powerstroke funnels cool air through larger, more durable aluminum tubing dressed in an eye-catching sonic blue finish that looks even cooler than cool under your hood. Without a ton of available options for 17-18 F250 intakes, it's hard not to recommend this great-looking and relatively affordable intake kit by Sinister Diesel.

One of the many things we miss about the old-school SVT Lightnings is their pre-tire exit exhaust that both looked good and gave those trucks a mean sound. Now Flowmaster has a way to give your 2015-2018 F150 the sweet looks of the Lightnings in a modern exhaust kit. Meet the Flowmaster FlowFx Pre-Tire Exit Cat-Back Kit for the 2015-2018 F150s. This kit features dual tailpipes that exit before your F150's passenger's side rear tire and comes topped off with 4" tips with a Black Ceramic finish that gives your F150 an entirely new look. The straight-though FlowFX muffler adds a mean exhaust note and higher sound levels to help your F150 really turn some heads. The FlowFX Kit fits all 2015-2018 F150 engine options and most wheelbase sizes.

While it's hard to complain about the 6.7L Powerstroke's insane power, the 2011-2018 Super Duty trucks aren't built for racing. Depending on what you're coming from, the pedal lag on these trucks can be a problem when you're towing a trailer, hauling a huge load, or just maneuvering through traffic. Thankfully, we have a couple of affordable, plug-and-play solutions designed to reduce pedal lag and improve off-the-line performance. The BD Diesel Throttle Sensitivity Booster and the Edge Amp'd Throttle Booster are both solid options, each featuring different power level settings and easy control options. That makes it easy to get the performance you need when you need it without doing harm to your engine in the process.

Roll-up tonneau covers are great thanks to being easy to open and close, but they aren't the most secure thing in the world. Folding tonneaus are secure, but they are a lot to handle when opening and closing them on a regular basis. That's why our friends over at TruXedo came up with their new Sentry and Sentry CT series F150 tonneau covers. The Sentry tonneau covers combine a rolling vinyl top with heavy-duty aluminum slats that gives you and your truck a rolling tonneau that does a much better job of keeping your gear secured than standard soft roll-ups. Check after the jump for a full list of F150 TruXedo Sentry Tonneau Covers.
