Time For A Tune Up
Time For A Tune Up
Well my truck has close to 100k Kms on it now and i was planning on doing a tune up on it and im just curious what types of things i should look at doing to the truck. Im hoping ill pick up a little bit of power doing it but will be happy with any results. Below is the list of things i was looking at getting for the truck and if you guys have anything to add that would be great.
Spark Plugs
fuel filter
o2 sensors
tranny flush
coolant flush
and i was thinking about maybe swapping to an electric fan setup and cutting out the cats. Anything else i should add?

Sounds like a good plan to me - might check the air filter as well and clean the MAF sensor
E-fans are nice - I would just gut the front cats - A long 3/4" auger bit works well ..

Ya ive already gotten a quote for getting the plugs done at the dealership so i was probably just going to take it to them. I was pondering cop's but all ive seen for my truck is the gms ones and they are a little more than i wanted to spend right now. Do i have any other options besides the gms ones?

Is there any other performance ones that i might be able to look into? Otherwise ill probably see about picking up those ebay ones. Id just like to see about improving upon the stock ones if possible.
Ok well ill probably see about ordering a set, i have to agree the price is definately alot nicer than the gms ones. Just curious how to check to make sure those are the correct ones for my truck. I have a 2004 F150 5.4L 4X4

I think I might try the ACCELS next since there so cheap. Theres been problems with the Granetellies - I think Neal tried those and they were shutting his truck down on him..
ACCELS or MBlues are a step up.
