So if the Air Aid makes our trucks run lean whats the point in making something thats going to be bad for the truck.The point in having fuel injection is to make it more fuel effiecent and better power.The system will copensate for the more air coming throw the intake. I dont it will run lean from the AirAid.

Will do with the Fitch. I saved the email from Airaid, so if it does cause it so run lean and hurts the truck then they can pay to fix it. All the lean problams I have been hearing seem to be on 04 and 05's.

Anybody on here know someone Persoanly who had a problem with there 04 to 08 5.4 Flex after intalling a CAI? If so what problem? If the computer can only adjust so far then why is'nt there more problems with trucks going from one extream of altitude to the other? I had no problems going fromm 6000ft to sea level. What would be the diference in using a CAI that the MAS and computer could not compisate for. I am not trying to start off here with att I just don't have the knowledge

If your truck runs too lean or too rich you will get a code your engine light will come on. Ps you guys can save a couple hundred dollars and make a cai yourselves just did on mine under 60$ k&n filter with zero lag at acceleration that the stock air box creates and good hp gain at 1800 rmps that u can truly feel without gunning it! Message if u want picks. Doesn't look fancy but nobody looks undwr the hood but u and were here for performance not show!!! Ps I am a mechanic ;-)
