Stay away from BBK if at all possible. JLT is a great CAI also.

Dan, I thought you had Roush upgrade your truck. For some reason I thought you had a Roush intake or something.

No... my truck was originally an internal Ford vehicle at SVT. As told to me via an SVE employee, it was one of 15 original 1999 models that were used internally for press reviews, autoshows, and the like. When they did several design upgrades for the 2000 model year, they needed a couple trucks with all the new parts on them for press reviews and to take to shows. Therefore, SVT had Roush upgrade two of those original trucks with all the 2000 parts and then used them for that purpose. Once the 2000 models were actually rolling out they no longer needed it and released it internally for sale. I was then lucky enough to get my hands on it.

So, the truck has a some cool history to it and it is somewhat unique. I even have the original vehicle registration and insurance slips in Ford Motor Companies name... and, several FoMoCo vehicle release authorization letters that were still in the glove box made out to various magazines/journalists inside. This is the 2000 truck that appeared in those, and other, magazines. Way cool.

Thumbs up Re: New SVT owner here.

I remember you posting about Roush upgrading it, years ago.

Sounds like you have one of those vehicles with some cool history. Maybe it'll make it into one of those car museums one day with all the documentation on display. (If you don't tear it up first )
