Basically all highway miles, 2005 f150 5.4. 97k miles..

Mod/part list

Gibson Cat back
BBK throttle body "old one was full of carbon"
S&b CAI "cover is now back on". For fear if running lean, cover on runs fine
Champion plat. Spark Plugs. "one piece"
New fuel filter
New brakes
Cleaned CAI
Cleaned MAF sensor
New tires grabber at2's
Gator back belt
Full synthetic. Mobil one 5w 20

Slight ticking noise
Faint rough idol barely noticeable


Factory battery
Never had tranny flushed or filter changed
Never had antifreeze flushed and changed

Feels a little sluggish, weird loud whistle now that it's cold out ,not during start up only hear it apon acceleration and you can change the sound with you foot on throttle

Kenn wood deck, kenn wood speakers, Sirius installed through ken wood head. Vht tail lights. Billet grills

I'm open to all suggestions, maintenance, performance and visual

Super charger would be my pick but just not dropping 5k for one... Never had a programmer.. Wasn't sure with high miles.. But if it will last me a long time... Leveling kit?


Btw im On my iPhone. Sorry for any mis spellings. Etc.

If you've never serviced the tranny then I would reccomend NOT doing it. It seems that flushing a high mileage, un-maintained tranny can cause it to crap out soon afterwards. This is also my situation as I bought the truck used.

I plan on just waiting till this tranny craps out, get a new one, then start a tranny maintenance schedule.

You probably ought to flush the radiaotor.

And how come you switched to 15W-20?

For tuners I would go with a custom tuned SCT or a custom tuned gryphon from wwww.powerhungryperformance.com

I'll be getting the gryphon as soon as I get my LT headers and E-Fans.

5w 20. Dumb iPhone. sry. Keyboard so tiny

I've heard that on the tranny... Soon as spring breaks I'll get inspected and flush and new anti freeze

SCT and a troyer tune... If I buy a new f150 I could keep it right?

yeah but you'd have to get the tunes re-written.
