I just got my can installed ... went in real easy .. no leaks .. I used 3/8 fuel injection hose for the connects.
Also ran a can of CRC intake valve cleaner through the motor before I installed the can. I figured why put the can on with cruddy valves .... hopefully they will stay clean ..
So are you recommending multiple layers of the mesh ... I see in the pic that you have a few laid out ... was not sure if they were spares or they were all going in the can ?
Also if you did multiple layers do you feel it would restrict the vacum from the intake some or does it seem to be doing a good job for you ?
I just picked up one of these ADD W1 cans for my 5.3L . Just was wondering what you guys that have them installed are using for the Media Filtering ? I saw at the top of this thread someone was using 3M heavy duty steel wool. Is there anything else worth trying ?
No ... Everything lines up perfect .... The only thing I did was I took the rubber insulation that comes with the kit and used it on the front of the bed where the cover sits to give me an extra seal against water. They say to use it around the tailgate but I opted not to. After a few heavy downpours I did see a trickle of water in the bed but nothing that would cause any damage to the cargo back there.
I just installed a LoRoll on my Silverado that has both the caps and factory bed liner. You have to pull the rubber insulation off the rails or they won't sit correctly against the bed caps. Once you do that and get the rails bolted up the cover will fit nice and tight ... I like the cover and the quality is great. Can't beat the price either ... Think I paid $269.00 delivered .... Install took like 30 minutes.
Could be your exhaust is starting to break in and flow a little better and now the v4 drone is a little more noticeable... I noticed mine drone is a little louder since I initially opened my flap also. I only have a little over 3K on the truck. I run the trans in M5 when I am not on the highway so the v4 won't engage.
I have a few post on this thread that are totally legit and only reference the issues ... That's why I went off when people come on here and say how much they love Ford. That's just a kick in the gut ... People need to grow some balls and address it when it happens ... He is not the first person to get burnt with a lemon, it happens every day cuz.
