This totally sucks guys. Im pulling on the pink line, but you can only get two fingers on the damn thing! Maybe I will just unplug it. litnfast, you have never thrown a code? No check engine light? Im not calling you a liar, just want to make sure. Thanks for replying so fast guys. This kind of stuff is so frustrating!

Unplugged mine over a year ago.
Just make sure you unplug the correct one.

Seems like another life ago...
The second day after I purchased my Lightning I took her out first thing in the morning for a get acquainted drive...
I had never owned a high horsepower automatic trans car in my life.
I didn't have a clue!!!
I manually dropped her into low and proceeded to WOT...Figuring I would just slide her up to two, then drive.
Before I could blink I was on the rev limiter and dumped boost!!!
I just knew I had blown the motor!!!
I sat on the side of the road for a couple minutes feeling as low as I have ever felt.
Oh happy days...she started right up when I finally got my pulse below 150 bpm.
I went home with my tail between my legs and a few months later I found this site.
How things have changed...
Practicaly everything I know about these trucks I have learned here on F-150 online.

I decided to just unplug it. Took it for a spin and for the first time it pegged the boost gauge! My only mods are K&N Filter/airbox mod and boost bypass. One thing though, since I bought the truck(2 weeks ago) when I do a WOT blast, it shifts to second, and I hear a funny sound out the exhaust. Almost like a farting noise. I thought it was dumping boost, but a few minutes ago, it did it again. After the bypass trick. Any ideas? Oh well, 10lbs of boost feels good! Thanks again guys!

The farting sound on the 1-2 shift is perfectly normal. Its called "Torque Reduction".
TR shuts off half the cylinders for a millisecond on WOT, 1-2 shifts.
It does this to preserve your 2nd gear.
Without it,2nd gear takes a hellva hit.
If you ever get a chip,you can have the TR function turned off if you want.
