I've been with Lidio for many years and he's not doing major mechanical anymore. He's mainly doing bolt ons and mostly the Coyotes. He's a great guy, he knows my lightning well! He was certainly my first choice now I've gotta find a second.
Haven't changed the coolant but did replace the cap...
So, I checked in to the coolant tester for possible head gasket leak and also located a pressure test kit for the coolant system. I'm thinkin' the pressure tester would give me info on the possible breach of the coolant on the gasket (amongst other uses) and I could inspect oil quality to see...
I've got the right combo of tools but have a lot going on between me and the plugs. Supply and return temp hard piping from intercooler, window switch tach wiring to coil over, nitrous control box (same size as intake filter box : stealth) etc. Looked damn cool when I built it : THEN I...
Thanks... I kinda suspected a head gasket but am reluctant to do the compression test as it takes a day just to change the plugs on these trucks!! I was unaware of the test kit for xhaust gases in the coolant. I'm on that! I'm also considering going with a 4 pin hood anchor ( no hinges ) so...
The issue is stalling at idle but there is some background to the problem that is going to seem rambling to describe.. Last year went to a cruise locally, and of course being the only lightning I put on a show of power with numerous burn outs for the spectators. Well she overheated and started...
Hello all, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year! My 2000L (bought new) (21K) is having some issues staying running and I can't figure it out. I can perform all the work necessary to fix her but can't figure out what the issue is.
I would be happy to find a Legit performance mechanic to...
2000L . Original owner . 20,600 mi. Definitely a Queen . 11:06 et. 118 mph. 1/4 mi.
Pretty sure only the sheet metal is stock (although the hood is altered too). It's my favorite possession.
Okay, here goes nothing. I have swapped a 408 Cleveland into my 95 Ranger. After totally transforming the chassis and drivetrain to accommodate this swap I am now dealing with the wiring change (from EFI to Carburetor). I have stripped the original harnesses and am now trying to piece together...
Looking for a GHOST issue on my 2000L .
Built motor, Kennebell 2.3, pullied to 18-20#, EGR delete, 100shot dry nitrous, Turbo Blue, NGK TR6 plugs, etc.,etc... Reason I think I'm losing boost is that I previously (b-4 fix) had blown off my boost reference line from the blower and she just...
I'm not sure where I would post a specific problem question to get an answer. It is regarding the inability to balance MT cheater slicks with tubes. Been to Discount Tire where I bought them but they can only get get them within a few ounces after adhering like 15 ounces all over the wheel...
2000L , 150 nitrous, 15lbs. boost (KB) thinking of going E85 route. going twin 400 Walbros and 80# injectors but can't seem to find info on OEM fuel lines. Do these need to be upgraded also? Approx. 600-650 rwhp now on Turbo Blue. Thanks :shrug:
I am installing an MSD 8956 window switch ( nitrous ) on my 2000 Lightning. I am installing it in a series of existing switches, such as, 1. arming switch - 2. full throttle switch - 3. chip switch ( that splits and goes to ) - 4. nitrous relay switch. Can I simply insert this MSD control "...
Am doing a battery relocation for the 2nd time. This time only running 1 cable(+) from the rear. Grounding to the frame and the bed at battery location. Question.... does the negative cable (-), where I disconnected from the original battery location, need to be regrounded to the frame and motor...
Can't seem to find the cap that I like. Can anybody tell me where to find the fiberglass cap w/ the small airfoil/spoiler (one piece). I noticed it on wd13's L. Thanks, Jack
Re: Brake Job , 2000L. Went to "how to" on brakes and couldn't access the 'brake caliper anchor plate' section. Are there torque specs on those bolts as well? Also, is it a good idea to just replace the bearings or what exactly am I looking for when I inspect them? One more thing, the...
Anybody out there got any helpful tips or tricks to help with this change? Also replacing pads. SSBC brand. Will I need to bleed the brake lines? Thanks and Happy New Year to All!:beer:
Anybody here in Michigan want to get rid of their stock hood? I've got a 2000 but I think the Gen 2's are the same?? Thanks, Jack OOOOps,, wrong forum!!
Okay, had my L for 8 yrs. now and have changed everything under the sun! Last year I put on the 15" Bogarts and obviously had to grind the Sh#@!t out of the stock calipers to fit. Problem is they really overheat due to thiness of metal now. Has anybody out there downsized their rotors and...
