I am confused about the stock size of the Lightning blower pulley. On here it claims it is 2.93" but my blower pulley is nearly 4" in outside diameter and measures 11.31" around the groves, which means a diameter of 3.6". This all came about as I installed another supercharger off a 2002 HD...

So, the new 2020 Explorer is back to being a RWD platform. This means the 3.0L Ecoboost V6 with it's 10-speed auto will be a prime powertrain to transplant to other RWD applications. The ST version of the 3.0L Eco is 400HP and 415ft-lbs and pushes a 4700# explorer to 60mph in 5.5 seconds. The...

I am finally going to do some updates/improvements to my 162K mile 2001 Lightning. I am going to install a used engine I bought a while back, it has nearly 100K miles but it has Trickflow heads with only 2K miles on them. (This is a good running motor, well maintained, from a buddies HD truck...

OK, My stock 2001 Lightning has 170K and I am in-process of replacing the drive belts, which were last done at 85K miles as were the spark plugs. I am thinking I should change the water pump while I am at it. But, Ford no longer services the water pump and a quick check of other sites and no...

Anyone try or have any info on the Speedway 14.25" Brake upgrade Kit? It is from Wilwood and features all the same items as the TCE kit but it is on sale at Speedway for $2099.99 with free shipping. I know several here have used the TCE kit, which is about $2500., with good results. This kit...

My 2001 Lightning has an issue with the 4R100 trans. When starting out from a stop or near stop, as soon as you touch throttle the trans acts like it is in 2nd gear and hesitates and then jumps to 1st gear and goes (at least this is what it feels like). If you make a complete stop and hold for...

I heard last night that both HP Tuners and Lund Racing are claiming that they can now remove PATS from 2011-up Ford PCMs. This, and the fact that HP tuning software can turn "OFF" communications and fault codes of unwanted modules on the CAN bus, means that swapping the 5.0L/6R80 or even a 3.5L...

When I was at SEMA I saw several 2015 IRS complete assemblies in the Ford Racing areas. It looks like a nice design, and they are selling kits to beef it up for drag racing and/or road racing. But, I don't see much potential for adapting the 2015 IRS to older Mustangs or other cars/trucks. It...

So is Dodge is getting a lot of press due to their release of the 2015 Hellcat that has over 700HP and can run 11.2 sec 1/4 mile times on street tires and 10.8 with slicks. Pretty Impressive, and puts other OE's to shame for their lack of such performance. Do you think the Hellcat will cause...

Got a call about a 2004 Mach 1 that would not start, cranks but does not start. I found the 30A PCM fuse was blown. Replaced it and failed again as soon as we attempted to crank the engine. I started tracing the power from the 30A fuse to the CCRM, all good. Test CCRM PCM relay function...

After working 7 hours at the show this year, this was the vehicle I was most attracted to; Mike Berardi, Ford's Director of Service Engineering, was there with his Good Humor Ice Cream Truck, selling Ice Cream to anyone in need.

The 03 Convert I recently finished has a "clunk" when you shift gears during normal acceleration. If you short shift and keep below 2000rpm, it does not happen, but give it some throttle or shift quickly, and it happens every time. This car has 163K miles and I suspect everything in the rear...

I just finished and delivered this 03 convert today. I did A LOT of work to this one. It was a 163K mile car with a blown engine. It had been parked at the back of the owner's driveway, sitting out in the sun, for a least 6 months before I was made aware of it. I tried to buy it, but owner...

2001 GT, black with sand interior, auto, 130K miles, 2 owner, never wrecked, Arizona desert car. Came with a second set of wheels; 17" Bullitt wheels. The engine runs, but was overheated and now continues to overheat, blown head gasket, or damaged head.

the original, 1964.5 was Indy Pace car. 1979 was an Indy Pace Car, 1st year of the Fox platform 1994 Was an Indy Pace car, 1st year of the SN95 platform So, will the 2014.5 (2015) 50th Anniversary car be an Indy Pace car? Or does GM own the pace car rights?

Who is going to the MOCSEM Mustang Memories show at Ford World Headquarters on August 11th (the weekend before Woodward Dream Cruise)?

I found a +100K mile Blue 2001 Bullitt that has a blown engine. The engine still turns, but tight, owner suspects he spun a bearing. Autocheck shows always in Texas and Nevada, 2 owners, verifies high miles. It has been sitting one year. Paint is sun burnt, needs paint, but body is good...

I live in Clark County Nevada, Vegas area. Here we have an annual vehicle Emission test required, and they do it just like California. -Everything must be stock or have a C.A.R.B. certificate that you provide -They scan the door VIN tag and then connect to OBD port, your car must pass...

I have a 100K mile completely stock 1997 Cobra engine. It is from my personal car, 2 owners, always stored winters and most all highway miles. Removed in 2006 when 2004 drivetrain was installed. It has stored in climate controlled garage ever since. Guess I really should sell it, but what is...

What do you think about NASCAR these days? I hear some say there is just too much DRAMA stuff and not enough about the cars and engines being developed. I sorta see their point, and I expect NASCAR is following the $$$ trail, so whatever it takes to get more TV coverage for the sponsors...

Well, I am sorta a Newbie, and I don't think I have done introduction before, so here goes. I worked at Ford/Visteon for 32 years, mostly in Powertrain, Powertrain Controls (EEC I, II, III, IV, & V), did a lot of Ford Racing Support for Electronics including F1, NASCAR & Indy, then ended up...

Ford Racing has announced that they will be selling the 3.5L V6 Ecoboost as a crate engine, in-stock now, but no "Control-Pak" install kit yet. Price for the engine, I have seen as high as $9000., down to about $6700. No price on the install kit as yet, but typically they run $1500 range...

I bought my 2001 Lightning over a year ago, and the brake pedal has never been firm, always soft or spongy. First I bleed the brake lines, no effect. Then I replaced the rotors and installed new Hawk brake pads, and also new front brake lines, still no improvement. Then I replaced the master...
