Default Finally got my new truck!

Been trying to get a new truck for a while, and thanks to Ford's family plan, I was able to!








2005 Ford F150 Lariat Supercrew 4x2 in Deep Stone Metallic.
3.73 Limited Slip, Reverse Sensors, 6-CD/MP3, and the 5.4L..

I'm a happy man!

I've got the Airraid intake and throttel body spacer, gibson cat back, and the superchips tuner. Before all that I was getting 13 mpg, I'm averaging 17 now in the city and the performance is up alot.

Did you notice anything out of the TB spacer?

I'm averaging 13 mpg and laggish accelaration.... I have a feeling my computer needs to be reflashed..

I got the reflash to the latest before retuning it with the superchips and still had the lag. I believe it's from the fly by wire throttle bodies. The superchips seemed to take it away, but every once in awhile it'll do it btu seems to just be at low speeds while braking and accelerating. The TB didn't do much, thus the reason it went bye bye. Looked cool though lol.
