I really think as new as yours is, it should work fine. Yours is newer than most the test mules. Superchips has been working on this for a long time.

I talked my CSM (wife) into letting me make the purchase tomorrow. I'll be signing out to PCS on Thursday...so we will be traveling from Louisiana to VA (TDY enroute), then to Texas...rational was the increased mileage and she bought off on it
VIC...Please confirm it will work without any problems or conversions!

Actually Bear Hunter, I just verified the fuel mileage improvement also on the trip from DFW to BTR "Losin-Annie" this week...
We were running ahead of schedule on the way back and so I slowed WAY down...
and one tank hand calculated to 19.5 mpg in the Ex !!! and was suprised the overhead "lie-o-meter" was only optimistic by 1 mpg !
with a car load of adults and luggage - that's not bad, not bad at all for 70 mph average!

Jdadamsjr.... not sure on the leak yet, I will talk to vic on monday and let everyone know. I work at a ford dealer so I can put it in the shop if need be. I ran it hard last night and it seemed to be fine. If I could find out where it comes out of I could at least guess. I am not worried about it but I will find out what causes or caused it.
Thanks again for the info.

Well..hell,
doesn't the webmaster work for motorhaven? I don't have the time to play waiting games if the information is already out there. Need to make sure the unit I order is in the mail for overnight shipping tomorrow, because I am clearing my quarters.
Motorhaven you want my business or not?

I think Ken owns Moterhaven. My guess is that he doesn't have the actual numbers yet. The person that did the tests gave him the generalized results over the phone but no hard numbers.
