it drives fine, still getting some of the kinks worked out in the tune to get it running how i want it.
but i blew my water pump on friday, so i replaced it saturday. im actually able to drive the truck around
without the mechanical fan on it because the weather is so cold.
i dont think im going to put it back on. probably going to get some E fans.

Search for some MKVIII fans.
I LOVE my TCI fans so far, easy install, once you find switched power, I have Dual 14" fans and they move sooooooo much air. and the thermostat i got with them is adjustable, and when they cool the motor down the shut off, unlocked a lot of horse power not haveing to spin that heavy stock fan

If I'm seeing that wideband read correctly you had better get your tune worked on! its staying in the 14's under boost which is NOT good bro! Congrats tho, glad to see it alive!
Remember you 5.4 doesn't have the forged internals like the lightning did, so you have much less margin for error with your tuning... I'd want to see it never go above 12.5:1 under boost if I were you...

its correct, i know its supposed to be 11.8 or so when at WOT, but this wasnt enough load for the computer to switch to a open loop setting. it is tunned right when under WOT or enough load to switch to open loop. ill ask my tuner tho. thanks!
