Hi there been a while since i been here just wanted to ask some questions from all of you.
1 has K&N realeased the FIPK yet anf if not who makes the best kit now and not home brew they look tacky.
2 I installed the gibson catback...nice sound but my milage has gone down...will the intake help get the gpms back up
3 i installed.. the 3923's i couldn't see muck of a performance again just decrease in milage....should i run a different plug?
4 i hear a cluncking sound when i mash the brakes down on the front rotors......does this at all speeds.....does not do it in reverse no matter speed...is the 2001 4x4 one of those with ball joint problems?
5 how can i extract error codes...i read an old link but it was for older daks.....and where can i decifer those codes i get?
6....how can i increase my milage on my 2001 4.7l 3:55 4X4 with just under 5K on the clock?
Thank you all in advance.

K&N is the best system for your truck. I belive they have it out on the market. As for the gibson and gas milage not much help BUT WHEN YOU PUT THE K&N on it might Increase gas milage because you have the gibson because the K&N will supply more air to the engine.
As for the sparkplugs Dont expect to feel anything. The plugs you bought are very good plugs that might help with starting and idling and a more complete burn. But as for performance dont expect anything you can see or feel with out a dyno.
As for the breaks take it to the dealer and tell them. SHould be warrinty.
Marty.

scrap the 3923's, if you do not have a pinging problem then don't use them the stock plugs are fine. The 3923's are a colder plug and they can kill mileage and off idle throttle response, the response and mileage of an engine can be affected greatly due to plug temps. I lost alot of mileage when i put in the 3923's, but when i swapped back to the stock replacement autolites, mileage went back to normal. This is probably due to the engine wanting to run a little richer from colder plugs, but you really shouldn't use them unless you have a pinging problem, you can also foul a colder plug easier because they may not reach a hot enough temp when you are cruising or driving around town to be able to burn themselves clean. as far as brakes i do not know , as far as the k&n it's good use it it won't hurt and it will save you money on filters in the long run.

Correct spark plugs for the 4.7 are Autolite 5224.
