I just had a question. I am looking at a 92-95 5.0, either body style but am finding a lot with 100k-150k miles on them. How long are those motors good for and should I worry a lot about high mileage? Anything else to look out for. Thanks guys. AJ

I mean come on people.... The sad part is they built that ramp years after the McDonald's. Maybe this is funnier to me because I work in health and safety (keeping stupid people alive). You tell me. AJ

I was wondering if anybody on here has done the curb rash repair? Just wanted to know how smooth is went and how well the paint matched. I have a set of 99 wheels that need a little love. Thanks guys. AJ

There is a guy in my area selling used block with about 90k on it for $40. It has some damage but it sounds like it's not too bad. http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/pts/574965423.html Should I pick it up? I don't really have a need for it now but for the price..... Thanks. AJ

My girlfriends parents just got a letter in the mail stating that their equity line of credit they had on their house, and have been using for the past year or so, is now frozen and they cannot access it at all. They are in between jobs right now and were using that money to live on and now it's...

I am thinking of starting to use my Photography degree and get into Estate Photography for Real Estate firms/Agents/Brokers. I was wondering if anybody already uses a service like to help advertise property. My father is a Broker in a small area and I sometimes look on the MLS and see the...

I know this is going back a while but does anybody have a copy of the spring 06 issue? My truck was in that one and I lost my copy of the mag and want to order a back issue but they don't give any information so that I can make sure it is the right one. The artical I am looking for is about...

Hey guys. Just thought I would ask anybody in the Nor cal area to keep an eye out for a gen 1 lightning. I'm in the market but am having a hard time finding any for sale. I'm looking for a 94 or 95, any color. I sold my Gen 2 a couple of years ago because I bought a house and I can't go any...

Quick question for some of you guys out there. I am looking at getting back into another lightning but I can't remember the major difference between the 01'02 engines and the 03'04 engines. I am pretty sure the heads on the 03 and up have more threads but other then that, what are the...

...one of the storage compartments that goes behind the seat? I sold my L a while back and have no need for it anymore. I don't know what I could sell the thing for but I'll take $40 if thats not too much. If anyone wants pictures let me know and I'll post them up. AJ

Well, I never posted this here but about two months ago, I sold my Lightning. I was having a couple of problems with it plus it was costing me too much. At first I thought as long as I can have fun in my new truck, this won’t be bad. I bought myself my first ever 4x4 truck and have been wheeling...

Just want to know if any of you guys have had a chance to test drive one of these trucks. I went on Sunday and took a look at one and I must say I was impressed! It looks pretty good (only the hood scope isn't functional) and I handles better then my lightning. Its got the 245 hp v6 which is...

I posted about a week ago about how I went to change my spark plugs and couldn't get one out. I had Ford do the last spark plug change and they never told me that there was a problem with the head. Well, I went and talked to them today after they had a chance to look at my truck and they said...

Ok, I changed the all the plugs on my truck except for the one I could not get out (see http://svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=186607 ). When I turned the engine on, everything sounded ok (idle was a little rough because I unplugged the battery while I was working so the computer had...

Well, I decided to change the plugs out on my lightning tonight. This was the first time that I have changed the plugs but I had the plugs changed about 20K miles ago by my local ford dealership. I started on the passenger side and got the first 2 with no problem. When I got to the 3rd one back...

I did a search of the forum and found lots of answers on what the gap should be if you have certain mods, but my truck is still stock. I'm not sure what the gap should be with my stock engine so if somebody could chime in and let me know, that would be great. I just want to get the truck ready...

screw it nevermind

Well, last night was only my second time drag racing and things went pretty well. First time I was stock with no weight reduction (bed cover, tailgate, and tow package) and without traction bars. This time, with less weight and the traction bars, I dropped 3 tenths off my time. :rockon: I was...

Well, the other day, I replaced the pads on my lightning and painted the calipers while they were off (I disconnected the brake lines from the calipers :bash: ). When I put everything back together, I could not get any pressure in the brake system. I bleed the hell out of the brakes thinking...

Here's the question. I have 84K miles on my truck and it is stock. I am afraid with those kind of miles, any mods like a 4 lbs lower with a tune or a CAI might just make the engine quit. It still runs strong but I would rather have it run stock for a longer period of time then mod it and blow it...
