    What to do, what to do

    I just got off the phone with the local Ford Dealer. He is offering me a 2008 GT 500 at sticker price and a pretty good trade in for the L. I have driven the GT 500 and find it a blast. But, I am not sure if I really want to let go of the L. The bottom line is the monthly payments will be...

    Innovate Wide Band

    I just completed installing an Innovate Wide Band system (LC-1 and XD-16). When powered up the meter displays three dashes _ . _ . _ and nothing else. When the O2 sensor is pluged in it barely gets warm. Anyone have any ideas of what I missed or forgot? :read:

    What would you think?

    I ordered a part for my L from a well known vendor. I was surprised when the box arrived and the included instruction sheet had another vendors name across the top. To top it off, the second vendor offered the same thing for about 40 dollars cheaper. What would you think about this...

    Things they dont tell you in the owners manual

    To start with, yes I did know better. I'm on my way to the track, when from behind me comes a chevy ss. He gets on my bumper and when traffic clears he shoots around to my right side. Once along side, he gives me the thumbs down and hits it. I cannot let this pass, so I stomp on the loud...

    Which fuel pressure gauge?

    I have searched for some information, but did not find what I was looking for. What is the preferred fuel pressure gauge? and does it take the readings off the fuel rail or other location? If I got it correct, at idle the pressure should be around 30 psi? Then when making a WOT run the...

    Weight of oil

    Must be my brithday as I was just given 6 quarts of Royal Purple 5 W30. The 2002 L asks for 5 W20. Will it hurt anything to run the 30W? I know on older engines, it really did not make much of a difference, but thought I would ask regarding the mod motors.

    What do you think?

    V6 Engine Swap Question

    I just changed the motor (3.8 V6) in my daughters 1999 Mustang. The swap went pretty smooth, but it is not running very good. Is there anything I was supposed to do with the cars computer during the swap? The engine appears to be in good mechanical shape. It came out of a 2000 mustang that...

    Looking for modification

    When I read about the new Lightning (before SVT went bye bye), it was said to have used the AC system to cool the intercooler or intake. I have been looking for just such a system, but seem to be comming up short. Maybe it was just a dream, but with just a flick of a switch, the AC system...
