Thanks for the welcome.

thanks for the nice welcome. thats right. gettin stuck is half the fun, but for me, technically your not stuck untill you run out of beer.

Thanks man!!!!!

This is my fourth red truck, thanks.

Thanks. its a work in progress.

That helped alot! Thanks!

Thanks for the vote in the November TOTM poll!

Ha ha! Yeah, I know - I know... it took a while. Babs gave me the business about not having the wheels mounted yet, too.
Will do soon, and post photos when I do.
Have fun on the Road Trip. I may take a little one as well soon to N. Cali or Bend... or both.

FINALLY!!! Babs came up from PDX a couple weeks ago and helped me install the CAI and ThrottleBody Spacer.
My initial feedback is that the 'increased noise' under the hood at idle is insignificant, and while under load, is more of a 'different’ noise than it is a ‘louder’ noise. I like it!
As for power, I can only say how it feels, since I have no objective measures such as a dyno or 0-60 baseline to compare from. I do notice that it is quicker from a standing start and requires less of a throttle setting to accelerate or hold speed. Makes sense, I guess. It feels more powerful under load.
As for fuel economy, I’ve done two fuelings now, and have already noticed a consistent 0.4 mpg improvement while maintaining my normal driving habits and techniques (which is to spare the horse until those rare times it in necessary to whip the horse). I’ve had a few spirited accelerations just for the fun of it, but not enough to through-off my fuel economy to any great measure. Even if I did, it can only improve the trend that I am seeing.
Time will tell if it was worth it, but the install was easy (two beers), and it does add a certain ‘fun factor’ to Fefay.
Hope you and BRO are doing well.
