Couple of quick questions.

first off, my rear brakes started leaking a little 2 weeks ago and it got to the point where id have to put 2 cans of fluid in a day. so i just raplaced the line going to the rear brakes and the 2 rear brake cylinders and i was just curious if anyone else has had this problem.
second, i installed the series 77 intake and ever since then when its cold mainly the truck makes a reallyloud humming sound when letting off the gas sounds like its coming from the throttle body. does anyone have any idea what this could be?
and third, what's a good, not wallet busting, electric fan set-up?

As far as #2 is sounds like your IAC is hanging up. I would replace it, it's not hard and your truck should be quieter then.

#3 It depends. Some have fabricated their own units from salvage units and were able to do it for less than $100 and they used OEM parts.

Some do but it is recommended that you just replace it.

Motorcraft is best but I don't think you will have a problem with the new one.
