I don't think you will need this special tool with your engine, I also have a '97 F150 with the same engine, it uses regular spark plugs, this tool is made to remove the specific type of spark plugs used in the 3 valve 5.4 engine, I have a 2006 with the 5.4 and really needed the tool for the ones that broke. Changing the plugs closest to the fire wall on your 97 is a pain but this tool will not help. Being a contortionist might!

It gives you more air flow and it creates a cyclone effect. I put this onto my 95 Chevy with the 7.4L and went from 8mpg to 18mpg. I also added a split port and have 2 cone filters.

I put one on my '06 Xtreme. Had to weld a custom bracket. The muffler sits in the middle of the truck before the rear axle (no custom piping required this way). So I had to get a 4"diesel tip to angle the exhaust down away for the rear axle. You might not have the problem like I had but it should be possible. If not a little customization may be required.

Not much In mpg, power is increased. I gained 1-2 mpg with the 93 octane tune and it woke the truck up as well. Good luck!

i tried the milege mode on my 06 gmc 2500hd with 6.0L and 4l80e trans, it made the truck feel really sluggish and didnt seem to help the mileage any so i switched it to the performance mode. now it didnt make the truck super powered but it does seem peppier over stock and the trans doesnt gear hunt unloaded and less gear hunting when loaded, nice firm shifts but not neck snapping. down side is i have to use 90+ octane but truck seems to get a little better fuel mileage on the highway, city driving well its a heavy truck so i dont expect much from it lol

I actually have two vehicles with those units. My 68 bug, I bought it because I get a longer hotter spark. It gave me more power out of a small engine. With my 1988 GMC pickup, 350 engine, I got that and I installed the adaptor which allowed for me to adjust the timing in the cab. The fuel injected engine requires the dealer to time without this unit. Never had a problem with the MSD modules and they are not hard to install. I consider them a worth while expense. I think you will have even better results. When they built these units, they were targeting cars like yours.

I have mine on a Can-Am ATV and am not sure how hot the exhaust gets, but I have it real close to the pipe. Only thing about mine is that we ride in deep water and some of my shield is coming loose. I do think it's an excellent product though.

I'm sure it does. I have a 6.0 and made my truck run much better especially in cold weather. Best thing to do is call Rotella hot line. Their pretty fast and will only take 5 min of your time. I run this year round and live in PHX AZ witch is the hottest climate in the country 120°F . So heat can't hurt this stuff either.

Most likely it will short out and try to burn your truck to the ground like it did mine. Stop. Run away and forget you ever heard of this brand.

Here is what it sound like on a 2.2L Chevy S10:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo7QIDgrQRsHe just installed it inline in place of stock muffler and left the stock tailpipe out the rear. I put same muffler on my Ford ranger but removed the resonator and turned the exhaust out in front of the rear tire and mine is pretty loud, but now as loud as flowmaster. For size you can look on the Dynomax website and find your truck but I like to take actual measurements under the vehicle.

No, I have been only running with the new exhaust for about 2 months and have not seen any soot on my truck. The installation was not bad and it sounds great!

I cannot speak for your engine, however with my 5.3, even with the program now removed. I still have to run 93 octane to keep the truck from skipping. Didn't do that before the programmer. Get a custom tune. You'll Be much happier

Yeah I have mine on my 07 cobalt ls. It sounds really good, but if you take the silencer out it sounds like every other rice burner. But yes, very nice sounding muffler. There's vids on YouTube, before and afters, that's what made me buy it. I got that and a k&n; short ram intake and my Slow 140hp 2.2 4cylinder sounds like a freakin beast. Everyone alwaaaays asks if it's an ss. Oh and it even improved the torque a little bit. Just enough to notice. But I highly recommend you get a k&n; typhoon intake, gives it a great sound at high rpm and gives about 5 more horsepower and quite a bit of torque.

To get best gain, yes. Combined with after market slip on pipes, better do it or could lead to heat issues. Full pipes gotta do it. Getting a plug in programmable module handles the changes well. I did all of above in stages and just reset the module each time. Not as good as a dyno tune but works for me.

I'm running the stock receiver in my team associated SC10 with no issues. I'm also running a 87t spur gear with a 16t pinion gear. I suggest using a 2s lipo. Anything bigger and the truck gets out of control. I still am hitting over 50km. Perfect for dirt track racing. I hope that this helps. CHEERS!!!
