Gotts mod question
I have a 2006 F-150 XLT with the 5.4L V8. I've been reading about the gotts mod, and I hear people say it runs lean on some trucks and not on others. Some people say it didn't help their truck, and some love it. I would like to try it out. My question is: Can I do it to my truck without it running lean or any other negative side affects??? I've read that it shouldn't be done on '04 and newer trucks, and I've also read that it's fine. I just need a definite answer, preferrably from somebody that has done it on their truck.

I did it on my 05, and, I've not detected any harm at all. Bill Cohron at PHP says that since there is no change to the MAF sensor environment, it CANNOT make your truck run lean. You CAN use a K&N drop in filter instead of the stock filter, but it's not necessary. If you do though, be very careful with the oiling.

BTW when and if the MAF becomes caked/fouled this can cause the pcm to interpret the data wrong and cause other codes in the system.....cause it can't sense the right air flow....

I don't think I have seen anyone say it was not safe and if I trusted Bill at PHP to tune my truck and he says it is safe, then that is good enough for me. I'v had the Gotts mod for about 50,000 miles on an engine that now has 121,000 and still runs great, uses no oil.
