Did you fill and burp the coolant system at the crossover?

With the car off, you should fill the intercooler tank and jump the pump to turn it on. Keep filling the tank. Let it pump until no air is present. Leave a little room at the top of the tank. Close it up and you’re done. It’s a sealed system, should never have to touch it again.
I definitely followed the burping procedure for the coolant system. I was able to get the intercooler tank where it needs to be but I expect to drain and fill once more since I’m only currently running distilled water and radiator flush additive. But I also got fresh oil and will change that once I get my big three upgrade in so I can just do that once.

On the drive today she threw the same two codes regarding being lean in both banks, but given I slapped on a JLT RAI, an Accufab elbow and monoblade plus sealing up the PCV system while keeping stock injectors in for now it’s logical and once I’m at the tuner I’ll get input for how my fuel system needs to adjust if at all and definitely swap the bigger injectors I have on hand in to get that sorted out.

For funsies - here’s the stats I found worth noting from the OBDII reader and will drop them below. This was after about 7 miles of driving not bringing it above 3k at any point but getting up to at least 45 mph for the majority of the drive.

ECT: 201
Spark advance: 33-34.5 (idle) 40 Max
IAT: 106 (cruising) // 120-126 (Idle)
Fuel Pressure: 38.2-40.3 PSI

My 22' F-150, I see over 15 sometimes on my gauge. It is consistently in the 14's. So I figure running big pumps full time and the battery in the trunk of my car, I don't want anything less than 14. This is from my truck..

I have been out of the field for 7 years now. Things may have changed since I was last exposed to it everyday. Battery is going in the trunk here too
