Need some Professional insight!

Looking to do/get some things for my 2004 f150 fx4 and would appreciate some input. I am about due for new breaks and would like to know if there is one brand/type that most prefer over others?
Also when starting my truck in the driveway after about 1 minute it clunks without me even putting it into gear, it sounds like its under the truck where the seats are any ideas?
Also any recalls or tsb's out there that any of you know about that I should be concerned with?
Lastly, wheeeew.....what is the latest reflash number for the computer?

Thanks in advance for any insight ya'll might have!

Not a Pro, but highly recommend Porterfield brake pads:
Part number: AP 1011 front - AP 1012 rear.
(Make sure you have the rotors turned)

Here's a link for the 'o4 F-150 tsb's:

Try a search for the "clunk" and "brake pads" for more info.

GL, -Ron

Thanks Ron!

I'll be sure to check those pads, I have seen them mentioned on here before. Any thoughts on modifying the air intake and whether or not its worth it?

Thanks,

Tom R

Not sure of your engine,

5.4L maybe try a K & N intake off eBay,
Search for: f150 K&N

http://www.ebay.com

4.6L wouldn't bother, already very efficient

I saw K&N's dyno results on their site. Does anyone have dyno results for any of the other kits? Has anyone else confirmed K&N's dyno results with independent tests?
