Ok, an update: I know for sure which is which now. I had the 2C already marked otherwise, with my naked eye I can't tell the 2C from the regular FTVB, but it's easy to tell the FTVBs from the OEM. A lot more springs, some washers, and steel parts.

Gents, I have a question regarding transmission valve bodies. Years back I purchased an upgraded Factory Tech valve body, installed it, then decided I wanted his 2C version(harder shifts). Fast forward a few years and I decide to buy a whole Punisher transmission. I'd like to sell the 3 valve...

I just got stationed in 29 palms, CA. I'm about to re-enlist and have to get a new base sticker. My truck is registered and inspected in Texas, but ALL California bases require a CA smog inspection to get a new base sticker. It will never pass visual let alone smog. Any advice? Does...

Ok, when it's cold are wet out my truck has a start up idle surge problem. After a few minutes it's fine, but that normally takes me giving it a little gas to keep the RPMs high enough so it does stall out. I'm fully built with heads and cams. It doesn't always do it, so I'm stumped...

So I was putting in my new stereo this past weekend and found out I had a puddle of water in my floor board (A/C drain clogged). I had to take my carpet out to get it nice and dry. While it’s out, I figure I might as well put down some sound deadener and absorbing mats. I did the doors a few...

Installing my new radio today I found that I have wet passenger side floor board. It had no odor so I'm hoping it just needs the *90 elbow installed. Anyone know what size that thing is? Or a part # from autozone/advanced auto? I know the part number from Ford, but they are quite a drive...

SOLD I've got this for sell. Went built and put a Cannon system on. SOLD Magnaflow Exhaust System Just the Magnaflow catback in bottom picture, SOLD The tips show normal wear and tear but nothing drastic. The system has maybe 5000 miles on it. Put it on, drove cross country, got deployed...

I've recently got my truck back from getting a built motor and 2.3 Whipple put in. It was driven over 500 miles back to me with no problems. The next day, things just started going wrong with it (go figure). Anyways, the latest thing I've started to notice is the IAT2 temps. It's been in...

Anyone know what Long bars WILL work with the Cannon Exhaust? Or can I ONLY go with the Metco's?

Just a location check. Since I got back from 10 months in Iraq I've seen a lot more "L's" in Jacksonville compared to when I left. I even saw two that had been painted(or clones) and yellow one and a candy colored red one. So lets hear it, how many of you drive around in Jacksonville, NC area?

I'm getting back from Iraq the beginning of next year and want to go built. My plan is to get stuff ordered and built before I leave country then when I come back to the state, drive my truck to a near by builder/installer then get to the nearest airport and fly to Texas for leave. That way...

I'm going to Iraq for 13 months and am not going to be able to start my truck for the whole time. I've done a lot of searching on long term storage and got everything pretty much nailed down. Truck will be: In a garage with plastic vapor barrier on floor of garage on jack stands with suspension...

So who else is unfortunate to have had their Lightning built on a Monday or Friday? The worst build days.... Maybe that's why my cab and bed skirts don't line up....:shrug:
