Other than being a BOV monster, I have the opposite problem. She drives around like a grandma. I keep telling her she needs to clear the intercooler! LOL
She's extra careful now after dragging the side of my F150 along the corner of the mailbox for over half its length. At least it was on the driver's side, so I had a reminder every time I got in the truck. I had my old truck when we first met, so it was a total shock to her to see me transition from parking next to the cart returns to parking at the far, empty end of the parking lot on an uphill grade. "So this is you with a nice car?" she said condescendingly, after I gave her a physics lesson on parking lot and run away shopping cart dynamics. haha
Now when I leave town for work she'll ask "do you need me to do anything while you're gone this week?", to which I reply, "Yes, please don't wreck my truck.

I had the Ford dealer change the RDU fluid for the 2nd time since purchasing it new and this time around went with the Red Line 57904 (75W90)

I also had them perform a coolant flush for the 2nd time (ocd in me)lol. and purchased a gallon of MC pure antifreeze along with a gallon of distilled water and an oil change using Redline synthetic oil.
I had them check and fix the alignment because the steering wheel was a bit off to the right by a hair and pic's of the work order below if anyone is interested on the pricing,labor charges for this procedure. Z
I also had them patch up a tire and wheel balance on which they charged me 59.95

They have always done the right thing by me and should be really thankful to this day and thanks for the stellar advice and always appreciate your insight inside and out of the forum.

Converted the SHO to VTA. Does make it more fun to drive. Did front and back. Back was a bit of the PITA but I was able to rotate the clamps and get them removed with channel locks. Now to shop around and decide what goodies to get with my tax return.
The downside of having a "high performance" filter....
On a side note: Had a guy come out to test drive my SHO wanting to buy it... had a nice stuttering effect under WOT from first to second.. it was not wheel hop...
Sent an email to LMS... since I have not had the problem since Torrie tuned it and adjusted the shift pressure to stop it...
Had the fluids all flushed a couple months ago and she has been pretty much garaged since...
Time to check fluids to make sure the shop didn't f it up.. LMS said that they see this a lot with the police cars and they adding an additional 16oz over the full line prevents cavitation of the fluid...
Needless to say the guy didn't want it after that fiasco... fml...

That sucks man, better luck next time. I assume thats an Oiled Airaid filter based on the pic? I just blow mine out with an air compressor since its a dry filter.

Nope not an oiled filter just a normal dry one...
I NEVER use an air compressor to dry out the filter... I have had several different cloth filters over the years and all say never to do that. It can loosen and damage the filter material... better to use fan to avoid filter material getting sucked up into the engine...

I have a bottle of K&N cleaner that I have been using for year, I did not use the oil obviously but the cleaner works well...

To be honest... it's just a mild soap.. you could use dawn that's been diluted with water...
A lot of guys just fill a bucket with soapy water and let the filter soak for awhile... shake it out a bit, rinse it in the sink until all the soap is washed out, then put it in front a fan for awhile... shake it out occasionally, turn it, set it back down...
The problem with forced air like a compressor is that it can damage the gauze creating air flow issues...and hot air from a hair dryer can potentially burn/shrink the gauze inside..
It's just a PIA...
