The long-term fuel trims must set in at the very least, and that takes 28-32 miles. Driving on the dyno will not do this. We drove 48miles with the V-6 on the dyno.

I thought we had bosch E69? At least thats what I have in my 2011 LLT V6.

Are they the same exact ECM just marked with a different code?

can someone make a vid of the intake from the front of the car with the hood open and do a few good revs?

Manual- looks like 1/4-1/2 inch would do nicely- it is currently riding up and closing the front gap to the minimum allowed (when the two sides of the filter housing contact the support lip) Look forwards to the new one.

Do you have the radiator brackets installed?

Do you want it right on the intake?

Nova65SS · 06-29-2011, 01:19 PM

yes- with only the rubber grommets in them- I have pushed the radiator forwards as much as I am willing to force it. It is simply too long by a small amount. I have been in contact with tech support -they are aware of my issue

and are correcting it so I am not worried. So far

Kmorpheus · 06-29-2011, 01:25 PM

Don't use the brackets at all. Works for me.

I guess I should contact them then. It fits nicely now because I removed the brackets but I would rather have them in.

Whichever is easiest for you lol
If you can get an extra set of hands to hold the camera out in front of the engine bay while you hit up some revs, that works too

Once your done, just give er the ol once over, and make sure your air inlet clearance looks good and fire it up!

Spencer@EH · 06-29-2011, 03:46 PM

Was I supposed to get a heat shield? Because I didnt.

KMPrenger · 06-29-2011, 04:13 PM
