Airaid Review Please
After years of running K&N CAI's on various vehicles, I tried an Airaid on my old 05 SCrew. I wasn't that impressed, pulled it off and went back to K&N. When I got the Expy, didn't mess around and went right to the K&N again! Nothing bad to say about it, like it. No worries about the MAF...- Dib52

Updated pics of SkyJumper
Long time fan as well. I have one heck of a die cast(1/24 scale) collection that contains 12 of Sr's specialty paint schemes including Wheaties, Wrangler, Silver All-Sar, Taz, Bass Pro, Oreo, Peter Max and the 98 Daytona Plus. Felt like a little part of me died that day. Naturally, I threw...- Dib52

2011 power and towing question
Towing capacity is set from the manufacturer with the various options packages offered for your model year, can't really be increased. If yours wasn't optioned with the HD trailer tow package, your capacity will be lower than the advertised 9200 lbs. You can add things like a tranny cooler...- Dib52

Travel Trailer fishtailed - Hitch problem? - Any advice?
Silly question, is the trailer set up for an 1 7/8 ball and you're using a 2 inch? That would create the inability to uncouple. As far as adjusting tongue weight, the tongue should have additional holes to slide forward or back. If not, the trailer axels could always be moved if its set up...- Dib52

More MPGs needed
15 mpg on the highway, 15 around town or 15 in mixed driving? CAI, exhaust upgrade, and a programmer, but after all of that, only expect to see a gain of about 3-4 mpg. I can squeeze 18 mpg out of my 08 on the highway running 74 mph with all my upgrades in the signature below.- Dib52

New 2011 owner / throttle question
Just out of curiosity, did your servicing dealer run a power balance through the OBD11 port and onto a laptop? I had a miss/stumble and no CEL to help diagnose, so we ran this test and it was clear to see the peaks and valleys in graph form that cyl 2 and cyl 5 were not within spec. Dropped 2...- Dib52

New edge tuner for 3rd gen
I see roughly the same numbers with the Hypertech. I run the 87 tune and have run 87 oct and 89 oct and didn't see any noticeable differences in mileage. I do however notice a little pinging when running 87 oct. Straight highway runs get me 17.5 - 18.1 mpg, running around town, I'm lucky to...- Dib52

Towing Question
Loaded up with gear, water, supplies, you're gonna get real close to max. Not to mention the extra stress you'll be putting on the Expy. If occasional towing is your thing, I'd say you "should" be ok. If doing habitual towing, you're gonna tear apart the Expy. I like to have a bit more...- Dib52

Travel Trailer fishtailed - Hitch problem? - Any advice?
No squat, not enough tongue weight. You should be in the neighborhood of 500 lbs tongue, IMO. I use just the simple factory set up, no sway control, no WD and I'm pushing the 6000lb mark with the boat in tow. General rule of thumb, tongue is 10% of max weight(520).- Dib52

Leather seats falling apart
Not to sound like an a$$, but a damp cloth only will only go so far on the leather. You still need to apply some form of conditioner every 6 months or so to keep the leather pliable. My 08 has seen its fair share of in/out with hardly any wear of the leather, but I'm anal when it comes to...- Dib52

Travel Trailer fishtailed - Hitch problem? - Any advice?
Hard to tell from your avatar pic, but maybe too little tongue weight causing lift of the rear wheels on the Expy. The condition you're describing, tail wagging the dog, is usually associated with a tongue inbalance. Another thing to consider, a solid receiver as opposed to the traditional...- Dib52

New edge tuner for 3rd gen
Yeah, it's a lot of coin, but its my turn to get something new. SHE got the 03 Saab(used), the 08 Fusion and the 11 Taurus, all while I've had the Expy. Isn't it my turn? Then again, her argument will be, YOU got the boat!- Dib52

New edge tuner for 3rd gen
Kinda the same situation here. Kids were smaller, we were prepping for relocation for the wife's job opportunity, had to consolidate vehicles, traded my fully built 05 FX4 SuperCrew and her 04 Explorer for the Expy. No matter what I do to the Expy, it just ain't ever gonna be a pickup. She's...- Dib52
