I cannot thank Travis enough for all that he did in getting Lightnings included in Mustangweek this year. We had the highest number of Lightnings present this year over any other prior year. 9 trucks might not sound like a lot but, in a sea of endless Mustangs... It's a lot for a last minute...
Truck made 5 consecutive 10.8/10.9 passes. Best pass of the weekend was a 10.94 deep stagged.
(Not the deep stage run):
Full street weight with absolutely no weight reduction (5000lb's dead). Nitto NT05 Drag Radials. The truck is configured just as I drive it on the street aside from the...
Before I go any farther, this write up is solely intended for people that go to the track and have to drain out their fuel when they get there or before they leave to drive home. I also completely understand that this idea is more than over thought and when it comes down to it... it's really not...
If you have a press that would be the best method for replacing a bearing. If not, this method will work for you.
This procedure will work on any style pulley. Aftermarket or stock pulley. I'd be careful with double bearing pulley's though.
Replacing a $10 bearing is a lot better than...
I'm going to widen yet another set of wheels and I need to get one 03-04 stock wheel for a spare. It's going to be a spare so, as long as it is straight.. I'm not that worried about the finish.
First time that you will hear that curb rash is alright. :dw:
Please PM me if you have anything...
Okay. Long story made short.
Old man comes into my dealership to buy a brand new Lincoln Town Car.
He hops in the drivers seat with his wife in the back and backs out of the parking spot and he puts it in drive. He thought his foot was on the brake so when the car started to go faster he...
Yes, it has been done before and most people just wire tie the filter to the EVAP line.
I did some research at the request of some other members and I found this cheap solution.
Ford part number: YC3Z-9180-CA
(it's just the bracket)
There are not many brackets left in Fords...
Well Princess has been bugging me to work on her truck all winter and I finally had some free time. Since she doesn't have a camera I took some pics for her to post up.
She went all out with the wheel selection. My god these things are expensive. But they look good.
Big fat lip on...
I was bored. What else can I say??:shrug:
YouTube - Project Stupid: Mountain Driving
If you ever get a chance to take a day trip up and down the Blue Ridge, I highly recommend doing it.
It's my first time trying to make a movie so "be gentle".
I really need to get a better video camera. This little cannon coolpixs camera just ain't cuttin it.

Not the actual first start up, but the first start up on video.

I kept telling myself that I should take pics as the build progressed but I just kept on grabbing more pieces to install. I should have paid someone to just walk by and take pics of what...
Well, for some damn reason I just cannot seem to stop with this thing.
The engine is going in on Thursday and for some damn reason I decided to do a little more work "while I was in there".
Started with this yesterday morning:
Ended up with this today...
Heres some free advise that you didn't ask for.
If for some reason you get a high idle and no check engine light present on your SVTF, run the codes and see if you get code P1121 or P1124 in memory in the PCM.
If you do see those codes change out your TP sensor. I ordered a sensor and...
You said you wanted it done by Christmas..........
Well..........................
Console is done............
Map pockets and one piece back panel are covered in...
I know it's not completely Lightning related, but it does belong in the GEN II section. It may only make sense to a few people, but they will understand the meaning behind it.
I was doing some work on the truck tonight and I had some much needed help stop by and pay me a visit to lend a...
I cannot say enough of how appreciative I am for all of the help that we got from everyone in Kansas City this past weekend with a breakdown.
Codys (SVTBeatdown13) truck decided to take a dump on the True Street cruise Friday about 12:30. I tried my best to do it all on the side of the road...
For any of you that have installed any kind of aftermarket speaker in your front door I'm sure that you are pretty used to seeing this.
Heres a $20 / 30 minute fix for that.
Go to a Fabric store and buy some black material that is thick enough so it's not to transparent but at the...
Is there any modification need to the headers or will they bolt right up with no banging/massaging needed. I'm used to old street rods and they always need a dent here and there for fitment.
I just want to make sure that they are good to go out of the box before I send
them out to get...
Okay, I know it not an L but, it is a garaged kept 99 with only 40,000 on the odometer. The lower balljoints were replaced last year at 29,000 miles. These are Moog joints but I have seen it happen with factory Ford joints.
I had bad joints at 21,000 miles on my truck.
Thank...
Pretty much just what the title says.
I am trying to find the correct application/part number so I can complete my heated seat conversion before winter comes back around and I have to hear the wife complain about her cold checks. I have everything else that I need except for the correct...
What a day. TCE Big Brake Kit install and started at 8:30 AM.......Finished at 3:30 PM.
What a pain in the ass it was to install this kit. :bash::bash:
Only due to the fact that I was installing them on Belltech spindles, other than that it would be simple to install the kit and I highly...
Everyone else gets to post up what the Big Brown truck brought for them so heres my turn..............
No pics of the Torque converter........ heavy but just not as impressive as these suckers.
