Approximately 20 years ago, IIRC, I purchased a CodeKey (Item Number: 375265) OBDII scanner from Costco. This thing has held up extremely well over the years. I like to reward companies that make good products and unfortunately after a cursory search it appears that the company no longer exists...

My truck is a daily driver and I need to pass emissions. Unfortunately, I am throwing the following codes: P1450, P0171 (Bank 1), and P0174 (Bank 2) codes. Based on the multiple articles, it seems like I should do the turkey pan mod. I already have oil separators. While I was at it, I was...

The keypad on the driver’s side door doesn’t unlock the truck. They keypad doesn’t light up when the keys are pressed. Is this a module issue, fuse, and/ or do I need a new keypad. Any how to’s or links would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, my truck broke down today. The ABS light came on, the turn signals went from flashing fast to not working at all, and the battery light came on. Also, it made the dreaded clicking noise when attempting to start. Thus, I am assuming it is time for a new alternator. However...

How many miles does it take to clear the codes from memory? The clip on my mass air flow sensor was broken and it came off. Subsequently, I fixed the problem. However, I thought I drove enough to clear the codes, but the emissions testing facility still found it. Sent from my iPhone using the...

I am hoping to modernize my Lightning by doing a few upgrades. Unfortunately, I haven’t had too much luck when searching. I have replaced the stock stereo with an aftermarket one. I don’t like the microphone that clips on the sun visor. I was hoping to go with a more “clean” or stock look by...

I only need one of part number: HSS-70010033 It is for the front. I have the Hotchkis/ Bilstein shocks in the rear and would like them to match all the way around. The vendor has discontinued selling the item. I am really, really, hoping someone has one left somewhere....

I am looking for a 2004 Ford Lightning passenger's front/ right front spindle.

I have an '04 L and have been away from the modding scene for a while. So I am hoping for some advice. Back when I first got my Lightning and upgraded the spark plugs, NGK TR6s were the way to go. However, I am over 100,000 miles now and have a CEL light on for a misfire in cyclinder 8. I...

Are there any how to threads (with pictures) for the K&N intake for an 04' Lightning? I tried searching, but every term(s) I used wouldn't give me results on this site. I tried "intake", "cai", "K&N", "kn intake", etc. My issue is with the L shaped fitting that goes in to the bottom of the...

I am finally replacing my stock shocks. I am running Hellwig Sway bars in the front/rear with Hotchkis front/ rear springs. Over the years, I heard bad feedback on the QA1s. So I think I am going with Hotchkis shocks, but I have a few questions. Are the Hotchkis TVS shocks the same as the...

I did some searching and it seems like the most recent poll was in 2008 and not too many posts in general about shocks. I am looking for feedback on the best shocks for a lowered Lighting. Since the roads do suck in Northern VA, I would like as smooth of a ride as possible. This is my daily...

Recently my transmission has been shifting extremely hard and erraticly. The fluid level is good. Only mods are punisher valve body and moroso transmission pan. I flushed the fluid about 20k ago. The problems just developed in the past few days. It briefly threw a code, but went away before I...

I have tried searching, but no luck on this site and google only shows me websites that want to sell me parts. I am looking for a DIY/ How to post on rear brake shoes. I am trying to find a good "How to" on changing the emergency brakes/ brake shoes out. I have a 2004 Lightning. Please...

I am looking for a How to or DIY on the rear shoes and hardware kit. I did a search, but haven't had any luck. TIA

When I was working on my truck I noticed that the vacuum line for the boost gauge is bad. I believe it is part #XL3Z-3A788-AB. I contact Ford parts and was told this part is no longer available. So I guess my question is can I go to a hardware store and buy new tubing? Any Lightning website...

I am looking to buy a used Ford Motor. I did a google search and everything that came up wanted personal information and to send a quote. When I had a Honda the process seemed so much easier. I was wondering where do people buy their motors from (i.e. Junk Yard, Online, etc)? TIA

As the title says, I am selling a stock plenum for $100 o.b.o. As-is.

I am selling the following used parts (as-is) from my 2004 SVT F-150 Lightning. The parts have approximately 80k on them. Bellow are the items I would like to sell: - stock front brake parts (calipers, brake hoses, and brackets) $75 - transmission pan and gasket $30 - stock speakers $10 -...

So I purchased some aftermarket 99-00 F150 tail lights through Empire Auto Parts and they do not work on my 2004. I want to get rid of the altezza tail lights. What I want to know is did I get the wrong body style (i.e. flare side vs. Lightning) or do the 99-00 not work for 03-04 models...

So I need brakes and I am going to be calling TCE tomorrow and inquire about the 13" kit. I was just wondering if anyone on here has it installed and can give me feedback on it. I am wondering will I get better stopping distances or will it upset the ABS. Moreover, if I buy the front do I need...

I have 2004 Ford Lightning and it is my daily driver. It is mostly stock and I recently paid it off. I would like to start modding it now. If I recall correctly, it was recommended for me to get a wide band o2 sensor before I do a pulley and tune. There are a lot on the market and range from...

Will 2004 Ford Explorer rims work on a 2004 Lightning? I have a coworker who will sell me his wheels for cheap. It's a deal I don't want to miss. The wheels are in good shape and are not bent. However, I want to make sure they will fit first. I know it's a strange request, but I want to use them...

I have a 04 L that is lowered with the Hotckis kit and has Hellwig sway bars. I want to replace all the shocks and was thinking about the Hotckis/ Billstein shocks or the QA1s. It is a daily driver and doesn't see much track time. I would like somewhat of a smoother ride if possible since the...
