thanks for the replies! yout's all are great!

i've mentioned to the seller if everything doesn't check out the way he described it, there's going to be a problem. yes, it's a Post Purchase Inspection but it's a hybrid of it actually.

I'm not too concerned about the MPG as much as time. Takes me 7-7:30 to drive the 400 miles in the Bronco and it struggles to maintain 80-85 on some stretch of the highway... and it doesn't get 15 mpg at that speed; it can do 15 if I cruise at 60! This X is going to cut the time down even if I achieve 17mpg as long as I can cover it in 6... 6:30. Plus it's a 4 door so when I need to head anywhere with my girl and some friends, it isn't becoming a cliff climbing expedition for the rear passengers to wedge themselves between the B pillar and the front seat to get in.

Pretty excited about this though. I can't pick it up for another 3 weeks. After this hitch, I have a 4x4 Fall run with the TX4WD club this weekend and by the time I'm done with that, I'll be back for my next hitch which covers wed-wed so it'll be two weekends before I can go out there and pick it up.

I'm just concerned when the cooling system has been done. Owning a BMW, we all know the cardinal rule of the cooling system: if you're not sure, change it. lol

BTW, are there any 4.6 that DIDN'T come with any Dinan modifications? read somewhere that practically all 4.6 left the dealer with some Dinan mod, either 1, 2 and the highly coveted 3 with the supercharger.

Thanks!!
