Ok i have sined.... My baby is mad and its all my fault lol. Well... I bought the truck almost a year ago, looked at the air filter once, the box had broken clips so i bolted it together hahaha grade 8 bolts on plastic works great!

Well last night me and Skank I mean skan had a convo about the 460 air tube, and today i desided to check my filter out since i never changed it. Well sure enough theres the pic and wow was it nasty! I took my air box out, the tubes that go to the throttle bodies, and the crappy factory air tube, all had crap in em it was nasty. Well i went to the ford dealer and bought a fuel filter, while i was on the subject of changing filters i desided to do that since i had a hunch the original owner, and the owner that owned it for a couple of months before me never changed it. So i took it out and where the fuel went in was clean, i turned it the other way and nothing but crap and rusty gas!!!!!!!

So im Sure glad i changed it!! The idle is alot smoother and im sure she is happy, i washed and waxed it today. smilietease But hey umm... Anyone know of any 460 air tubes around for sale? Got the money and im lookin to get one. Let me know if you do! Thanks

So shaddup eco, you shit disturber. smilietease
Hahaha my thoughts EXACTLY! He probably wanted to go find the thread so he could point out the inconsistencies in my arguments, lol.


Mike, SHAME ON YOU for letting it go that long, but good work getting it replaced ;)

Andy and I are planning on hitting the junkyard on Sunday (if it's open on easter), so I'll keep my eyes peeled for a 300/460 tube, but don't count on it ;) Plus I would image that Andy'll want first dibs :p


And Ryan, thats NASTY. I'm surprised the engine could still run...
 
hey guys just an observation here-and I'm nobody -but if your doing modifications that are working well-why not post the things on the general post rather than pm,s so everybody can benefit from them-not a sermon,just a thought 'hiding_smilie'

Lol. Mike and I talk on MSN pretty often, normally about nothing -- stuff that wouldn't belong on the forums or else it'd be full of a bunch of nonsense (wait.... that sounds familiar...)

But every once in a while we get to talkin' bout trucks (k, more than every once in a while, lol). So Mike was asking which of my mods gave me the best performance gains and I told him switching from the open-element K&N filter to a stock airbox with a 300/460 tube gave a very noticable gain. So then he asked which filter I'm using and after saying Motorcraft paper filter he said "I don't know when mine was last replaced.... I should probably check that... hey so that 460 tube worked out well for you?" "Yup"

Consider yourself "filled-in" on our little convo ;)

hey if it's working on other trucks someone-should put in a post so people on the site could use the info-a way to help and maybe bring on new users-i would like to see a detailed post my self-if it helps we all need the knowledge:wavey:
 
hey if it's a proven fact-more than one or 2 people gaining from it-maybe a sticky would be nice?-I've got a 90 E150 302 and it needs all the help it can get-getting ready to check the gear ratio and try a swap out tomorrow-got 2 other trucks sitting in the yard and am going to check the rear end tags for the results-see what i got-if I can go from a 308 to a 355 that is my plan :) just have to check them out-finally getting warm enough to work on stuff around here :)
