He did say the code was in memory, the light is off for now, I'll wait and see if it comes back on. Sounds koool though. I'll try for fuel milage again but, It is very cold and in 4 wheel alot with.

Reading the above gets me a little concerned about the control light and warrantee info.... has anyone else had the problem after placing an air intake system in???
Also, would like to know, based on past experience, which seems to be better... K&N or Airaid or others??? (thanks)

I could tell what felt like an increase in power. The truck also seems to run effortlessly at lower speeds say around 50-55 mph. As far as the gas mileage goes I will need some more time to see if it increases. Because now due to the Flowmaster exhaust and new intake I can't keep my heavy-foot off the gaspedal.

Just cruisin' thru and thought I'd add a comment.
A few weeks back I ordered a MAC system for my 4.2 from Motorhaven. I am very happy with it. Fit and finish are really nice. The air filter on mine seemed fine. Maybe they've improved their QC?
As stated in a previous thread, it DOES look really nice!

Does anyone have the volant intake on the 2004 f-150. I heard people talking about the trucks check engine light comes on because of emission recalibration.
I just purchased one before I heard of problems, with intake upgrades. I wanted to know who, if anyone did the change and how they are getting along
