This used to be my lightning. Basically stock. I sold it due to it being impractical for my daily driving. I wanted something 4door w/ a backseat and a little smoother ride. I also wanted something 4x4 that i can use when I need it. Here's the new ride Yes, I know I need a wash...

Im gonna be selling my truck soon so I'm taking off all the parts before I sell it. The intake consists of filter, heatshield, intake pipe w/ all couplers and clamps. I painted the inlet pipe myself w/ high temp gloss black paint. The paint is very durable and looks professionally done. Price...

My buddy has a lightning with the following mods: 2.75 Upper Intake / Exhaust Shorty Headers Hi Flow Cats Ported Blower FTVB Predator Pulley Tune How much hp estimated is this truck making, how fast could it run?

It's not much but, its an improvement over the aluminum look. 1 Coat Adhesion Promoter 2 Light coats of duplicolor metal cast 1 Medium coat metal cast 2 coats clear 500* engine enamel I might do the MAF section of the intake, but I don't think the paint would adhere very well

My dad had the lightning for the day yesterday and told me when he started it up he heard a loud knocking sound. Kinda freaked me out since I have never heard it. My belt sometimes squeals when its really cold but it was only like 30* in the morning yesterday. Im on stock pullies btw. Any idea...

I tested my new pioneer headunit and I think maybe two wires may have contacted to create a shortage. Everything else works in the dash but the radio. I checked the radio fuse and reset the A/C. Still not powering on. Should I try anything else before I take it to the dealer?

The other day I was at the dealer with my friend while I spot a brand new diesel. Im not gonna say what make it was to keep it argument free. Some thing made me wanna keep the lightning even though it is a less practical truck for me concerning interior space and traction. Any one almost bite...

I need to run a remote wire from the back of my factory headunit to the back of the amp. Which color wire do I need to splice into for the remote turn on wire on the stock radio?

My pioneer headunit is in delivery, I tried dealer and every car audio shop in the area to score some head unit removal tools locally with no success :( . Since I do not want to order them and wait another week. (Looks like im gonna be forced to) Can I remove the headunit with some small screw...

I have had my lightning since june and its been fun so far except there are some things that bug me, such as: Lack of interior space / storage. My job requires me to carry over 3 bags of keys, flashlights, tool kits, and other items on a daily basis. I can't risk leaving these things on the...

Just thought I'd share some pics w/ the new camera.

I just got my winter rims on. They're some sort of cheap ASA's with bfg snow tires, theyre too small for my taste but they came with the truck when I bought it. (Sorry for the crappy phone pics, digital's broken)

As of now I only have a catback and a mac intake with a C&L elbow. Im maxing out my boost guage so that will be my next upgrade. Im still on my stock lower but would like to do the upper pulley first and get some aftermarket idlers to get rid of the belt slip. How much boost would I be at with...

I've become bored with the look of the cast c&l elbow and the the polished one's arn't worth the extra money to me. I was thinking if I sprayed some duplicolor metalcast on it, it would look pretty nice. I have a red L and would buy the red metalcast for it. Anybody think it would look good?

Ok here's the story, I was bidding on a used jdm exhaust on ebay and got outbid 5 dollars more within the last 10 seconds. I was pretty pissed so I just ordered the flowmaster american thunder system for about 80 bucks cheaper than if I won the JDM. I know there are alot of mixed opinion on...

I wen't to see Borat last night and was wonderin if anyone else spotted the blue lightning following their ice cream truck. If you havn't seen it yet, I would highly reccomend seeing it. Probobally the funniest movie I have seen in my life.

In may when I bought my lightning it had 23k on it and now it has 32k. I would like to keep the miles down and buy a daily driver. It's gotta be a v6 though, and I would like a manual since I do alotta hwy. A near dealer has a 2000 camaro w/ 107k and a 2000 mustang with a gt hood. Both are...

After 30k miles and me being the third owner of my lightning, it's time for some new tires. Any reccomendations or places to buy from?

My buddy just got a lightning and it came with a predator tuner. He said I could use it for free but I have no mods except an intake. Would the tuner give me anything with a stock setup??

Driving this truck, I always encounter some one wanting to race at least once a week. Top ones are probobally... 350z's G35's WRX's/Sti's/Evo's Srt4's N/A Trucks ~ F150, Chebbie's Basically all the guys who think their cars are fast. I admit though, I have seen a few fast evo's and...

I read all about the boost bypass mod but am still confused about what it actually does. Im kind of confused , can some one explain what it does??

I have seventy bucks in my paypal account. What should I buy? Already have an intake and C&L elbow. Thinking about clear corners or just taking the cash out for tints.

Anything I need to know? I've got the launches down pretty good with minimal spin launching at about 1300-1400rpm. 1/2 tank fuel or 1/4? Should I remove the spare? What tire pressure on the stock F1's?

My stock muffler tips look pretty nasty. Can they be repolished to shiny or is it too much work? Any suggestions?
