When I installed my Airaid I got a CEL, but it was because I hadnt disconnected the battery. Once I did a disconnect/reconnect it went away.

Just pull the PCM fuse. Why disconnect the battery and lose your radio presets, etc why all you have to do is pull one fuse?

Don't bother. It will go away on it's own once the pcm learns the new air flow. Give it a day or so and you'll be fine.

what your suppose to do after install, start and stop truck 3 times, after the third time leave truck running for a few minutes to relearn. then take truck for a ride and make sure all is well.
