Welcome and we need pics!

If you decide to go with the K&N intake be sure and get a tuner with custom tunes as cold air intakes tends to make these trucks run lean.

 

Welcome aboard Joe. First time truck owner here as well. My flowmaster Super 44 is in and will be getting put on soon as well.

 

Welcome Joe get ready to spend some money if you spend enough time on this sight you always see something you have to have

 

Welcome

 

Welcome to the site! Just a note of caution, if you have the 5.4, you may want to delay the CAI until you have a custom tune. You may run lean without a tune.

 

Haha too late for that. My mom thinks I'm crazy and my dad is starting to get jealous, haha.

I've got the 4.6
Would this cause the same thing? And this may seem stupid but what does it mean to, "run lean"? I'm new to this stuff, haha.

And thanks everyone!



Oh and a side-note;
Got my exhaust done today. I dropped it off at the shop at 8am and I got a call at noon sayin it was all-set. All custom-bent stainless pipes, 18" Magnaflow SI/DO, and 3" slashed rolled tips behind either wheel. Sounds mean

 

Running lean is when your air/fuel ratio is off. You have too much air going into the cylinders in relation to the amount of gas. It causes the explosion to be at the wrong time and too hot. You should not have that problem with the 4.6. The problem is with the 3V engines.

 

Alright cool. Thanks man I appreciate the heads up and the tidbit.

 

I'd still get a tuner nevertheless, really wakes the truck up, makes the tranny last longer, and will give you much more gains from the Cold air intake

 

Yeah for sure. I've been doing a little looking here and there. Any recommendations as to what tuners/chips are worth looking into?

Yeah I've seen this mentioned a lot around here. I'll definitely have to look into it. Thanks bro.
