My truck you see here was initially bought for towing purposes...but seeing all the Saleens and bikes are sold....I'm giving the F150 lots of attention. How do u like yours?

BTW- I bought the package deal from Troyer....so he'll be doing the tuning.
Thats awesome! Do you remember which issue it was?

Yeah, once I got mine to run an 11.9 it was time to sell as well.

I just bought mine at the beginning of october and I like this thing except for the lack of torque and it has the 5.4. Called Kenne Bell and they said they are about 3 months out for the kit. So i ordered a JLT intake and going to have Jeff S tune it Thanksgiving Break.

You're truck looks sweet!
(on edit: I guess you can't use women's body parts or else it sensors you)

Where is the cheapest place to purchase the AF1. From here on F150online it's a bit pricey at $306.99. Troyer has it for the same, what in the world, I could have sworn it was cheaper a month or two ago. Around $270 I thought. Anyways, at what price did you all purchase yours for, I'm going to purchase one today.

No CEL until 6,000 miles on the AF1.
Reset the ECU, good since then ( 150 miles).
Beats me..............

Total miles, 26K
build date 11/03

So far I've only seen it at 305. If you buy the package deal from Troyer w/ the XCAL2 it works out to be a bit cheaper. But if your only interested in the AF1 alone, I personally havent seen anything different from 305.

So after the AF1....6k miles later you got a CEL?! Dam, I guess I'm far from the clear.

Does this package deal also deduct the $50 discount for being an F150online member from the XCal2 in addition with the Xcal2/AF1 package discount?

No discount if you purchase Stage Kit from Troyer you just pay the package price listed on the website.

Another update

420 miles still no CEL

Did some MPG calculations and found a slight increase. Pre AF1 i was at 10.76 MPG.....post AF1 came out to be 12.04 MPG. Whether the increase was from the AF1....who knows..too little to tell IMO.

This experiment was done using identical routes and distances from a business road trip I frequent.
