I've got my 2013 Boss Mustang up for sale. I'm the original owner. Critical Info: *Gotta Have It Green, 18570 miles. Torsen and Recaros. *One owner car, no accidents, no problems. One minor scuff of paint at trunk bumper from a back pack, very hard to see, one minor paint scratch on rear bumper...

I'm a bit over 110k on my 04 Lightning, all trouble free cruising and towing. HAs anyone read any information on Ford producing a new Lightning? I've love to purchase another Ford performance truck with some modern updates. Thanks, Ron

I'm on to round three of my header installation. I've got some OBX headers that I installed with the gaskets that came with the headers. Driver's side leaked within a few weeks. I went back in and put a new Felpro exhaust gasket on the driver's side, and it too leaked within a few weeks...

I'm considering putting on an electric fan. I'd love to see an increase in mileage, even 1-1.5 mpg would be helpful, as I'm currently getting around 7.5 to 8mpg towing. Question -has anyone here documented, carefully I might add, a real MPG improvement from installing electric fans? And, what...

I've installed long tube headers with no cats and need to be able to eliminate the CEL. Anyone have a recommendation for a good tuner who can do tunes via a Predator? I don't have the SCT that JDM requires and am not interesting in buying a new tool. Thanks, Ron

Does anyone make four wheel brake upgrade packages for the 2nd generation Ls? I have seen this package: Brembo Lightning Gran Turismo Big Brake Kit 4-piston (2000-04) [1B1.8018A] - $3,639.95 : Lightning Force Performance $3639 for two wheels, sort of pricey. I saw some links for a package...

I've got an 04 Lightning that I have been running with a 6lb pulley and conservative tune for three years (no other modifications other than oil sep mod). In doing so I have used a 95mm aluminum MAF tube/housing and cone filter. Never had any trouble. Due to the fact I tow with my truck the...

Title says it all, two new 2" drop shackles for $45. I bought these well over a year ago and never used them. I tow too much with my truck to mess around with lowering it. PM me or email me at [email protected]. I can get these out to you UPS if you PayPal before 3pm. No shipping charges in...

Just the muffler only, nothing else. I can send a UPS shipping label. I am tired of this Mac drone at 2000 RPM when towing, it is deafening. Since I saw no power increase on the dyno with the cat back I'll just go back stock (except I'll keep the 4" tips, I like those). Ron

I'm wanting to build up a long block for my Lightning. What year core 5.4L motor should I select and are there any major differences in years that I should avoid? I'm figuring I would like to just get a 5.4L Triton motor from a vehicle, get it down to a Long block state, and once built swap...

I want to build up a Lightning motor for my L. I do my own motors (I have a good machinist I use for my race motors) but my question is one of logistics - I want to build a complete L motor up on the stand, including all accessories, so that it is simply a R&R when it comes time to install...

From what I've read it looks like the IC on the Lightning eventually gets gummed up with oil. I imagine this leads to a loss of charge cooling performance and might lead to what I'm experiencing - a light pinging at part throttle and a few pounds of boost when the truck is under load. This...

I'm considering a Whipple blower for my Lightning. However, I use my truck to tow my race car 10-15 times a year at least. One Whipple owner had reported to me that his truck felt soft at low RPMS, like < 2500 RPM, compared to a Eaton truck with a 6lber (which is what I run). I spend a lot of...

I just received a new Predator for my 2004 Lightning after an extremely protracted RMA situation (57 days, Diablosport RMA/Support leaves a lot to be desired). In preparation for the new Predator coming, 12 days ago I had my 2004 Lightning reflashed to factory spec by the local Ford dealer. I...

Does anyone here have any tips on how to get decent customer service from Diablosport? Back on Feb 20th I sent my Predator to them for repair. I was having trouble uploading a tune to my 2004 Lightning (truck works fine, wanted to modify my tune) and they issued an RMA, #6829, for me to send...

I'm down here in Pooler GA/Savannah for the SCCA championship race. As some of you know, I use my Lightning for my tow vehicle. I need a new intercooler pump. Over the last week or so I noticed that I could hear a tiny bit of spark knock on initial throttle tip in in 4th gear. Didn't know what...

I've got a new sound on cold start up - a sort of high pitched whine and goes away once warm. Idler pullies maybe? I haven't had a chance to locate it yet because every time I've started I've been in a hurry such as the airport, but I need to locate it soon before something gives up. Definitely...

I saw someone's sig that had a grey L with black wheels. I have a grey L as well and would like to duplicate that look, it was nice. I like the stock wheels just fine so don't feel like buying larger ones or a different style. How do you folks manage the logistics of powder coating the...

Who's offers a good built short block and what sort of money are we talking about for one? If one was to go with a built short block (and naturally associated Whipple or KB to go with it) is it worth it to port the heads? I'd assume yes, but I don't know what the 2V heads flow stock, and if...

Been thinking about doing the valve body for my L, but, I use my L to tow about 7000lbs pretty regularily (which it does with no problem). How would this thing act under towing situations? Would I have a real firm shift when towing - that I don't think I'd like as it'd definitely be felt...

Last night coming off US64 into Cary before US 1 split (I know this doesn't help you guys that don't live here) a new F150 style truck, white, with blue trim and hood scoop comes up as we're both slowing down for light. Light turns green before I, and this truck I just noticed, get to the...

I am running a 6lber and probably should go one range cooler on my plugs. What is the NGK part number for a one range colder plug, or, would my parts counter man be able to look that up? Thanks, Ron

I'm running a 6lber and CAI, with larger MAF. I've got a AEM wideband installed and have been to the dyno a few times (stock, 4lber, 6lber). I'm safely rich, typically 10.5-11.1 on the boost in this hot weather (might require some re-tuning in cold air I know). Might should adjust it up a...

Thinking about a 170F tstat, cause any problems? Having 20F off the coolant temps can't hurt for sure. Ron

Was thinking of going to a 160F, seems to make sense from a keep the truck cooler standpoint. Anyone have any bad experiences with a 160F tstat? Ron
