Airaid?
i've noticed a few guys using airaid intakes and now more and more using it. are not having any engine code problems? does it seem to improve the induction? why i ask is because when i 1st got my truck in jan-05 i set out for induction mods and i found airaid and liked what i saw but wasnt sure if i wanted to go that route or just charge my truck. then i seen post w/engine code trouble and idle problems. now that i've got my exhaust done its time for the induction i know the charger will work fine on the truck but if i buy a charger that kinda eats up the rest of the mod funds.where as the advertised gains with the airaid is fine w/ me and i would still be able to squece a little lift and rubber under my truck...any input appreciated,thanx

Airaid
I installed my airaid and magnaflow catback at the same time. No code's or problems. My truck does have too much fast idle, when cold, but that has always been there, my service writer tells me that I need to update my PCM. I just need to find time to take it in.

I installed and Airaid system. I did notice an improvement. However, I did have code problems that said one bank running lean. Ford tech reflashed the computer but it came back off and on. I put on a Borla catback dual exhaust. Never had a problem since......................

I put on the Airaid after my Borla exhaust and Superchip 1714 tuner, so I don't really know if there was a gain due to the intake or not. I do know that it sounds pretty tough when I punch into it. I did have codes showing both banks running lean and cleared them with the tuner and then I called Airaid and they shipped the redesigned intake tube with no questions asked.
