    Any original owners around?

    I'm not the "original" owner of my 1999 Lightning, however it's been with me since July 13, 2001. It's now in need to a transmission rebuild and a paint job. I've purchased a few more mods and upgrades this past year or so that I have yet to install. I'll do it in due time, or not. LOL.

    1999 Ford Lightning Value

    I have a 1999 Lightning 211,000+ miles on it, in need of a paint job and a transmission rebuild. I'll let it go for $60.000. These trucks are worth whatever someone is willing to pay, or how much the owner is willing to let it go for. Don't see Lightnings on the road much anymore. Good luck in...

    235/45/18 tires on front wheels

    I'm going to stick with the stock tire size for the front stock wheels. I found conflicting info concerning the 235/45/18 tires. I'll err on the side of caution.

    235/45/18 tires on front wheels

    Will 235/45/18 tires fit the stock Lightning wheels? I've come across a set of tires in this size that are reasonably priced, and am wondering if they could be mounted on the front wheels without any issues.

    Changing axle seals and differential cover. Is XL3 friction modifier needed?

    The title of the thread says it all. I'm replacing the stock differential cover with the TA performance cover.

    Ignition/Engine won't turn off.

    I got home today, pulled into my driveway and put the truck into park...when I turned the key to the off position the engine continued to run. I turned the key to the off position a couple more times with the same results. I ended up disconnecting the electrical connector that goes to the fuel...

    Need suggestions for new shock absorbers.

    I'm in need of a set of shock absorbers for the Lightning. Lowered 1.5" front/2.0" rear. Will the stock Bilsteins for the 01+ Lightnings work with the drop that's on my truck? My truck is a daily driver. So, I doubt that I need any of the adjustable shocks. Brands and part numbers would help...

    Resistor location?

    Can someone tell me where the resistor for the fuel pumps is located? Is it somewhere behind the front bumper or is it located somewhere behind the intercooler pump? I've heard of both locations, just want to get the correct info before I get under the truck tomorrow morning. It's just too hot...

    Need help. Problem with A/C

    My air conditioner is still blowing nice cold air, however, it only blows the air through the defrost and floor vents. I took a look at the backside of the A/C control unit yesterday and all of the vacuum lines and wires are plugged in. Could I have a bad switch on the control unit? And if...

    Money tree just grew. Cost of future mods????

    Well, I've just landed a new job starting at $41,000+ per year. That'll be on top of my Marine Corps "retirement" check. The Money Tree just grew like a MoFo. I've already found an old Honda that I'm buying next month for a DD/beater. Anyway, I'll be parking the Lightning except for the...

    Source for 01-02 chrome replica wheels?

    I ran into a fellow L owner this weekend that's searching for a set of chrome replicas for his '01 Lightning. Do any of you have info on which vendors or companies carry the chrome replicas, and wether or not they're still being produced? Thanks Kev.

    Invited to enter Lightning in carshow

    I was coming out of a convience store a little while ago and a guy walks up to me and says "...is that your truck?" He was driving a rice mobile, so I'm thinking he wants to race. LOL. As the conversation continued, he and his friend gave me a lot of compliments on my Lightning. Well, to make...

    Silver Lightning in Macon, GA

    Today while I was working I saw a silver Lightning pull out of the gas station next to the Outback Steakhouse in Macon, GA near I-75. Said Lightning was slammed, had a billet fuel door, billet grill inserts, chrome wheels, hard tonneau, clear head/corner lights and very dark tint. I think it...

    LFP radiator and dual pass exchanger???

    Are any of y'all running the LFP aluminum radiator or their dual pass heat exchanger? Just wondering what kind of temperature differences these two products would make on a daily driven Lightning. Thanks. Kev.

    oxygen sensors, how often?

    Maybe this has been covered before... How often should the O2 sensors be changed? Reason I'm asking is, a very knowledgeable mechanic/racer told me that the O2 sensors on a supercharged vehicle should be changed once a year. Any truth to this?:shrug: And, is any particular brand of oxygen...

    Which part stores carry Denso plugs???

    I plan on doing another plug change this weekend. Want to go with the Denso IT-22 plugs. I called NAPA and the guy on the phone said that they don't carry Denso plug, but he kept trying to sale me on the NGK plugs (which are currently in my engine) and the stock Autolites.:bash: I tried to...

    Do you get tired of other motorist?

    Do any of you get tired of other motorists always trying to start a street race when they pull up next to your Lightning when you're sitting at a red light? Yesterday, while I was on my way to work I stopped at a gas station to grab a cup of coffee, when I pulled out of the gas station to the...

    Aftermarket upper S/C pulley?

    My S/C belt is slipping like crazy, I almost got pulled on by a Mustang last week because of the damned belt slipping, so I'm getting ready to order LFP's idler bracket kit within the next month or so. I also want to change the stock 2.93" pulley on the Eaton for an aftermarket 2.93" pulley that...
