If you've still got the stock air intake setup with the intake snout that runs from the box to the driverside of the grill, KEEP IT! Open element filters, like the K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kit will hurt the performance of the truck. My truck had an open element filter when I bought it, so I swapped for a stock box (which pulls COLD outside air instead of HOT engine compartment air) and my performance was dramatically increased.

Also those K&N drop in filters DO flow more air but there is a cost... The increased air flow is due to the fact that the K&N filter allows bigger particles through, not so great for your engine right? If it's highly modified and you need to pull more CFM to keep your air/fuel ratio happy, an aftermarket filter with better flow is a good idea. But on a stock or not-overly modified engine, the paper Motorcraft filter is your best bet for filtration.

I also second the idea on the electric fan. I installed a Taurus fan and noticed immediate increase in performance and a bit of gas mileage improvement (not much).

Would there be any group of electric fans that are better than others? or should I just shop the junk yards for the largest that will fit the radiator? Is there that much gain because of removing the drag from the fan/clutch? I can ask around for a good swap. Thanks, Spiike

Best fan to use is out of a Ford sedan with a 3.8L V6, they pull crazy volumes of air. The popular on is the Taurus fan because it's so easy to acquire, but I've heard the fans from Tbirds and Lincolns that have the 3.8L pull more air.

The taurus fan swap is an incredibly popular mod amongst offroaders and mustang drivers. I'm currently using a taurus fan in my truck.

Mine is a 22" Viewsonic. Check around because the warrentys are different some have a large bad pixil limit(4 to 6). When I bought mine Viewsonic was the best something like 2 pixils, but I bought mine at Fry's and got a 1 pixil garantee. That I turned out to need. You wouldn't think 1 pixil would bother you but it will, your eye goes right to it everytime.

Yup-- I had a monitor a while back that had 1 dead pixel, drove me nuts.

This ones got a 3 year warranty, though I'm not sure about their pixel policy. Dell is usually pretty good with customer service so I should be fine.
