2016 F-150 5.0 and CAI
Hey all,
I dropped in a CAI in my truck at approx 6500 KM (Currently at 8000 KM)to replace the stock one.
Went in smoothly and truck is running great. Recently I have been educating myself more on these and have learned F150's used to run very lean from the factory and putting a CAI without a tune could make you run dangerously lean without even throwing CEL lights.
All the information I could find was on trucks pre 2010 regarding this issue and not any of the newer trucks if they are afffected the same way.
I have the 2016 and am now worried about it as I spent quite a bit on the truck. I have no lights or problems with how it is running but I read you could be running dangerously lean without even knowing/having CEL lights light up.
My quesiton to all of you is this still an issue with a 2016 5.0 V8? Can the ECU still not compensate and are they stlil really lean ?
There is no tune on this truck and this is the only mod.
I'm sorry if this has been asked but I have seen nothing on this specific quesiton for this make and model.
Thank you.
