I was very reluctant to post my results after i did the IAT mod last night, as naysayers here are hard to convince. But, here goes
I installed a 10k ohm 1/4 watt resistor on the blue/green wire going to the Intake Air Temperature sensor. This was only hours before Sean Roe told me to go with the 5.6k. The install took 5 minutes and i soldered and heat shrinked it to look stock. After the install i took the truck for a spin.
I drove 68 miles through downtown, flooring it from light to light and a couple pulls to a 100 on the highway. The truck, honest to God, feels hundreds of pounds lighter. The mid rpm, part throttle to full throttle jaunts are much more jumpy and it responds quicker. When warm i noticed a change in my idle (as my truck is practically straight pipe) i could hear a slightly noticable deeper mellow note even though the rpm remained unchanged. Maybe im crazy but the wife noticed it too. Furthermore my wife noticed less popping as this always drives her crazy. :dontknow:
Im religous about resetting my overhead computer after every weeks fill up for the past 8 months. I ALWAYS average 10.7 on cheep aafes gas and 10.9 on cheveron CONSISTANTLY. 68 miles later, romping on this thing like i just drove it home from the dealer I was getting 13.8. This morning i started it and have driven another 25 miles or so on my same saily commute and im increasing at 13.9. Maybe its a fluke, a placebo, maybe im crazy, but for 99 cent, fool me or not, ive never spent better money since i bought stinkers drop kit. (with bigger u bolts of course) :rock: Rock on Tony!
You cant go wrong with this mod... although i suggest for most to go with the 5.6k as Sean Roe knows alot more than I. For now ill play around with my 10, no pun intended.:burnout:
