    New 5.4 with a couple of upgrades

    Hi Mr. Dave - I have sent off a couple of emails. (1) to SCT to confirm the product with the additions and to ask them about their custom tune recommendations. I used the other link you sent and emailed one of the few custom tune shops they have listed to confirm they can work on my Expedition...

    New 5.4 with a couple of upgrades

    I have a 1998 Expedition XLT. I had a new 5.4L Triton engine built by the guys at Promar Engines out of New Jersey. They specialize in remanufacturing lighting engines.

    EGR

    Well that was fun to read! I probably should have prefaced by explaining I live in Texas. I crack my windows in the morning and repeat “I love the smell of Napalm in the morning!” It makes me laugh... then I start my truck with its new set of true dual exhaust running through (2) instead of (4)...

    EGR

    I was told that if I removed the EGR system completely from my 1998 XLT 5.4L that I would see an increase in horse power and fuel economy. Now...
