Long bars, x-brace and drive shaft safety loop all integrated. Long bars are adjustable at both ends, with heim joints and Seals-It. Rear long bar bracket has 2 holes for adjustability, and front bracket has been redesigned since pics to have 3 holes (instead of 1) for adjustability. All parts...
Finally good to see another L running around. Hopefully you'll find my thread and we can get some conversation going..and start getting some mods on your truck..:rockon:
I'm considering getting a Colgan bra for my L, to help protect it during road trips and such. Curious if anyone had any pics? Also, is the grill area covered by a mesh with that bra? :beer:
I'm considering going one of two routes. (Can't go both right now...$$)
Would you recommend doing a port on the blower, or installing an Accufab single-blade tb with a C&L plenum. Both would roughly be about the same price.
The talk has been brought up before, about how much our trucks will be worth some years down the road. I used to think that they would do okay, nothing approaching a true collectable. But after all of the ones that get totalled, have vented blocks, have thrashed and trashed.....I'm kinda having...
Got this from another forum that she is on. I am gonna do a search here to see what I can come up with, but wondered what it sounds like it could be to you guys. Here's the text of her problem:
After turning into my friend's neighborhood my truck bucked. I thought I'd run over someone's cat...
I ran across this post over at SVTOA (posted back in 2003). I know that the connecting rods are the weakest link in the motors, but was anyone aware of the issue as was stated in the post? Here's the text from the post:
I was on the fordtruckworld.com site and ran across a post about 02's...
Just sharing this in case anyone wants info on our seat material. I didn't go through the whole site, but did see there is some info on cleaning the material and removing stains. http://www.alcantara.com/ :beer:
On my RUSlow power steering pulley, with it pressed on as far as I can get it, it still is not in alignment with the harmonic dampner pulley when looking at it from underneath the truck. Looks like it could go back another 3/16 " at the most, (before the pulley is against the block). Didn't...
Was installing my MADfan electric fan, and could not figure out why I was having some issues. Called Mike Dunn over at Mad Enterprises, and looks like I have a regular F-150 radiator in my truck. The Lightning supposedly has a 2 1/2 inch thick radiator, where mine only has one that is 1 1/2 inch...
Kind of a BIG problem, guess it could be worse. Was installing my RUSlow aluminum underdrive pulleys (water and power steering) this afternoon, everything going smooth until....I was pressing on my new power steering pulley. As i was pressing on the pulley, the bolt snapped off inside the pulley...
In the middle of doing my EGR delete. Following Chiz's delete how-to, still have a couple questions.
First, when I remove the pink line to the vacuum actuator, I should just cap that off at the actuator.....right...or NOT right? Not really mentioned in Chiz's.
Second, on the 3 lines that...
I've had my truck for almost a year now. Getting prepared to do my EGR delete, change plugs, add Mad Enterprise coil pack screws, etc., and found this. Appears that either while removing or reinstalling the front coil pack on the passenger side, the mounting hole was broken. Instead of being a...
Well, Flex-a-lite just raised the price on their fans to $549.....from $399. WHAT??? Not gonna happen.
What other options do I have?? LFP fan? Want something that is going to be pretty straightforward (no splicing, looks stock).
Preparing to do my EGR delete. Found a nice polished plate at sprayitracing.com, don't know if it comes with bolts or not. Anyone have any clue if it comes with bolts? If not, where can I pick up some?
Thanks Chris Nelson for help on the exhaust manifold plug. :thumbsup: The SEARCH button...
I'm wanting to drop my '02 a bit, maybe like a 1/2 or 1/3. The most important thing to me is to maintain good ride characteristics and handling. I guess I would be looking at kits similiar to the FRPP or maybe an Eibach kit. Any other recommendations would be well received. I don't want to...
I was going to order a Lotek triple pillar pod today, but thought I'd first get a little input from anyone who has one. How is the fit and finish, and is the light gray a good enough match that it doesn't need painted? Thanks
I have a pretty extensive list of Lightning production numbers (even more extensive than DHFerguson's at F150Online).
I have ran across a few instances where the build date of a truck "falls out of line" with other trucks. For instance, a build date of a truck with a production umber of 1000...
Like the title says, a SCT Xcalibrator2. Purchased for my '02 Lightning. Brand new and still in box. I will take $310 Paypal, that will cover shipping and Paypal fees.
I will consider cashier/personal checks or money orders, but won't ship until everything clears on my end.
Gotta order a couple of tires for the truck like REAL SOON. Leaning heavily to the Nitto 255R. These will be going on the rear, with my F1's (have about 5,000 miles on them) going up front.
Question? I know they are heavily favored here for getting the power to the ground, but how do they...
My 15 year old daughter will be getting her license in November. She's been driving the Corolla with us, but never the truck. Well, today I pulled over and let her drive the L to her friend's house and back (about 15 miles). She did good. ("It sets up a lot higher than the car." :lol1: ) I'm proud.
I was wondering if you guys would help me out on a project. I am putting together a listing of 2nd gen L's with their year #, build #, build date, color, and username. Kind of a useless piece of information, but interested to see how many L's I can find, and see if I can find very many that were...
Been looking around the site for the correct torque setting for tightening the plugs on the L. I've ran across 11-13 ft. lbs. Sound right??? And any preferences on the the torque wrench you use?? :beer:
