I want to do intake and exhaust on my truck, I think it would make it pull that much better in the dunes. Being that my wife just got a job today, now money's not quite so tight. This is gonna be sweet...

So when you get the check engine light you just have to reset the battery right?

last page of instructions say disconnect neg battery post if this happens. ( about 10-15 minutes ) some of the early 04's have real sensitive MAS settings so this may not help though.

Since you have the Lariat, hence the 5.4L 3 valve V8, you might have been running a little "lean" with the stock intake. Now, with the less air-restictive AF1, you could be running dangerously lean.

I would definately get your Air/Fuel ratios check, real quick like. But like the manual says, d/c the negative terminal or get it cleared with a ODBII reader.

Good luck either way. Oh yeah, no CELs with my AF1 (4.6L though )

Detonation. You should have done a search before doing the AF1, even with the superchips tuner. If the truck is tuned properly the AF1 is a very good intake.

I did do a search, as in for check engine light, cel and bunch of others, just thought this would be faster.

Well...up to you to try it, don't know if I would recommend it, but clear it with the Superchips, turn the truck off and on for a few cycles then let it run for a few minutes and see if it pops back on. If it does your a/f's are too lean which could cause detonation and damage if not taken care of. There are some fixes, like I believe you were running the 87 tune, try running a higher octane gas (sometimes helps) or getting a custom tune. The AF1's suck a LOT of air, can be great for power, but...

Also, keep the stereo off and listen for any pinging/ratteling sounds. If you here those you are running to lean.

Best of luck man.

No pinging or rattling ... but it does sound real mean when I stomp on it.
Stupid truck with air intake problem... Oh well.
I guess I will hook up superchips tomorrow and see if diagnostics works, otherwise ill just leave it for now.
Dont really care, just used for transportation, and if it breaks down, ill just get a new one.
