    Don't forget to weld your spark plugs in, don't want them coming out

    Link makes good ECUs, they were on my radar but ultimately none of the tuners around here deal with them...Well up until last month when KO Racing moved out here. They're maybe the third or fourth biggest ECU manufacturer.

    I wish they had a bit more stateside adoption because the features are on another level as far as bang for the buck

    Must be a Ford 5.4l. the good news is the spark plugs will last the life of the engine.

    mmmm the Triton 5.4, expert in spark plugs no matter what gen, 2 valve versions shoot them out and 3 valve versions seize them in... either way your using all the fuel of a 6.2L LS with the power output of a Ford Modular 4.6L

    Not familiar with them, but anything that adds market competition is ok in my book

    I'm too tired this morning to remember well but the Vans had a separate version of the 5.4, maybe it is the 3v? Either way what I had read last year when van shopping was it was gutless but reliable and didn't have the issues of the F150.

    I had to work half of Saturday to finish figuring out my electrical issue with these 120v cooling fans. Manufacturer of the cooler AND their manufacturer of the fan still haven't come up with a solution.

    I'm not looking forward to any possible warranty issue in the future lol

    @treyus30 I know you said it didn't matter but somehow switch L and N in the box allowed the fan to run underload without fail. The motor even ran cooler at the windings :notsure:

    Makes no sense lol. How much other load is at your service drop? Possible voltage drop this time around?

    You don't have a split phase, do you? (Half on one phase, half on the other, center ground)
