Hey guys, the bolt on my upper pulley backed out on the highway. Anyone know what size the bolt is? I have a local fastener store that I'm sure carries the right size, just don't know what to ask for. Thanks

Hi guys. Been a long time since I last posted. Mostly because my truck has been rock solid all these years. Anyway, having a leak that I'm struggling to find. The runoff comes from the heat shield next to the passenger side cat. There's no pool in the intake manifold valley. Cab stinks and...

So the L had sat for a looong time (well over a year) without being driven and the battery had gone dead. After spending a while in the body shop getting a refreshing I drove the truck straight to a shop to get the oil changed. Right after that the SES light came on. I had been wondering what...

Thanks. :) 2002's also...

Hey guys I'm looking for stockers. I prefer 01'- 02' s but I'll consider any that are in good condition. I'd prefer local to Central California especially if you have tires but again I'll consider shipping. I'll be getting a set from somewhere so if you're serious PM me. Thanks.

So it's been a really, REALLY crappy last couple of years Lightning wise. Of course I still have her but I'll admit I have been tempted... Anyway so yeah, out of the last two years the L has been on the road maybe six months, she's a daily driver mind you. Most of the time it just sat because...

Hi gentlemen I have now gone through 4 hb's... Probably should have asked you guys a while ago but alas I trusted my mechanic. All mods were done by me but I dont have the time for this. A couple questions: 1. Is the L hb the same as a stock F150? Im wondering if my mechanic is possibly...

Shot yet another plug... Im not here to whine but this problem couldnt come at a worse time. Anyway last time a member hooked me up for 10 bucks. Please let me know if youve got one layin around. Thanks!!

Just got the L back from the shop. She destroyed yet another harmonic balancer?! WTF? this time I had a factory part installed. We'll see how THAT works... (I aint counting on it...) the motoblue 4lb'er had holes larger than the bolts that go into the crank so I had them drill 3 perfect holes to...

Been a looong time since Ive been here, how is everyone? The L has been parked for months because of a vibration (and laziness) :shrug: I totalled my daily driver the other day so the L is going back on the road for now. :) We were poking around and found that the bad vibes are due to...

Hey guys so I need to get the L to a shop to fix what happened when I launched a plug. 1 question I have is, is it safe to drive on 7 cylinders for a couple miles slowley? Will it keep injecting fuel into the cylinder? What would be going on with the ignition during those couple of miles? Ok...

Hey guys I need 1 coil on plug right away. Pm me. Id like the screws too (mad) if you have em. Let me know. Thanks.

So suppose I wanted to go with new heads, whats out there? Stockers with more threads (how much are they?) Maybe Ill hit up Tousley. Patriots, how much? And what else? Is there any reason to go Patriot over stock if Im doing nothing else besides mods in sig? Thanks guys.

Hey guys I was on my way to drop my daughter off at school and I launched a plug. Its all my fault, I had heard the telltale clicking well before it happened but I had been working every waking hour so I had no time to even look under the hood. Anyway its my fault so Im not bitchin. :) I...

Hi I just replaced my stereo system and I have this Solo-Baric left over. It has a custom box for a Lightning or single cab F-150 (not sure if it would fit right in F250?) The sub is in perfect shape. It is an L5 10". Here are some pics: This is the box, it is in perfect shape...
