It was a pretty good time, but went by really fast. Glad you enjoyed the read and thanks for the congrats. So far I have been more than happy (and lucky) with my sight unseen purchase. It's a better vehicle than I had hoped for in terms of previous care.

Thanks. Not yet, I haven't had time. Our home AC just took a dump (furnace blower motor died spectacularly)... anyone know why there is no retail availability of HVAC parts? I pulled the thing apart in less than 20 minutes and if I could get parts I could have fixed it myself... instead of paying a company twice as much to do it. Also been doing things to the X to get her up to our standards which, if you've read my 4.4i log, you're familiar with. Removing interior, steaming, cleaning, etc, etc. I am also correcting the hack job the PO did on the BSW sub install. At least I hope it was the PO and he didn't pay someone to do this. More info w/ pics to follow in a build log thread. After I get it registered and things settle back down I'll work on finding out who originally owned the beast.

To earn the Dinan badge you had to accumulate a number of points. For the 4.6 that was 10. Exhaust was 3, cold air was 2, transmission software was 1. If the badge is genuine you have more Dinan products than the exhaust and air box. On the 4.6 they offered three stages of engine software depending on the mods. If you have only the air box and exhaust you should still have the matching first stage software to get the most out of them. The engine software was worth 2 points. That still leaves you 2 points to find. The throttle body was worth 2.

Thanks for the info redliner. I was aware you couldn't just buy the badge... so I guess I'll have to start digging to see what it has exactly. I know it has the exhaust, strut brace, and intake for sure. I am almost 100% sure it has software as well.
