If you guys want to clean your throttle body out, I used a wheel brush from autozone and it fit in there just perfect. I used it and and tb cleaner and wiped it out after with an old shirt, and its clean as a whistle. The brush was only like 5 bucks and its wayyyy easier than scrubbing away with a toothbrush....

I started mine up, filled with 92 octane, and gave it a bath, trying to get all the salt off it from a long winter.

Down there? Lol I paid $3.59 up here. I have a Banks stinger kit on mine. Exhaust, CAI, and a programmer, I set it to run on 92. Next up is lift and tires.

I also have the same set up on my 05 F150. That's actually a 94 Bronco.

New msd distributor cap/rotor, plug wires and pcv valve. Running some single platinums in there right now, but also bought motorcraft's.... the plats are only a month old and I figured I'll keep them in there..?

Wanted to get the passenger side SS skyjacker brake line installed, but trying to do it on the ground with the wheel on is a PITA. Guess I'll have to throw it up on the rack since I'm pretty close to rounding the darn thing off.

I had month old platinums in mine until this past weekend, I switched them out because it was causing a missfire. Smooth as butter now.
