My IC pump died awhile back, so I put together a video of basic diagnostics and replacement. This is probably nothing new to veteran Lightning owners, but since this trucks are aging and coming into the hands of new owners every day, the video may be useful...
Running IE 11 here from a personal laptop and having a similar time over the last few days. The side ads often do not load, and frequently the site will crash IE forcing it to close, then re-open my tabs.
Also in the Pics and Video section I got a pop-up asking me to save, run, or cancel "sync"...
I was wondering what is going on with these, I click a normal thread link and get hijacked to a skinny banner advert. There is no way to click to close, it doesn't timeout and automatically take me to the thread, and hitting Reload/refresh just reshows the same advert.
I've even tried...
Introduction:
This is 2003 SVT Lightning #3380 and I purchased it as the third owner back in May of 2009, at the time it was lightly modified and had about 44,000km ( ~27,000mi) on the odometer. This writeup should hopefully assist some people considering the purchase of a used Lightning, and...
The How-To section here on SVTP is a very good resource for those new to Lightnings, or who have just plain forgotten something, but as the trucks have aged so has the how-to section. While reviewing some of the older threads (and even some of the less old) I have noticed that a number of them...
Pretty basic, a ported VMP TVS @ 17 psi, Cobra Jet twin 65mm Throttle body, JLT CAI, Tune, and a set of Borla Stinger mufflers.
It all came together well I think.

I sent and email off to Doug at Billetflow earlier this week and am still waiting for a response, so in the mean time I'll pose my question here.
I recently purchased a used billetflow SBTB and the throttle will not open fully, I was told by the previous owner that some modification or...

Western Motorsports "Vanquish'd" V12 Mustang - Ford Mustang Canada Forums & Classifieds
Mods are in the sig, but basically a JLT kit and a set of FRPP stingers, 493 RWHP on a Mustang Dyno, pretty damn happy with that. The flywheel numbers are about 638 BHP so that's a pretty big gain for the cash in.
For comparison, the Lightning pulls 334 and the KB GTS makes 352 on the same...
For the first time since I purchased the truck lay May I've finally got things together and made a trip to the track. Considering the mild DD build I have, I'm quite impressed with how these trucks perform.
Best run of the night:

JLT Trunk Lid Lettering Install
Applicable to 07-09 GT500
This is a simple and fairly low-buck modification which relocates the “SHELBY” emblems from their assembly line position on the left of the deck lid to the centered location as seen on both vintage and the concept GT500. While not...
How-To: Install Longtube Headers 1999-2004 SVT Lightning
By Darren5.0L
Performance and Sound:
Two very good reasons why any Lightning or HD owner might consider pulling the factory manifolds to swap in a set of longtube headers. For my 2003 Lightning it was both, and the sneaking...

Hardly worth the Pics & Vids forum by you guys might enjoy it
Just a very short clip I thought I would share:

Just got the truck dynoed and I'm quite happy with the results, despite looking low these are from a MD600, it's pretty stout for a very mild mod list.

Did this up yesterday, took about 8-10 hours on jackstands with two people.
There were no major issues, just previous to this, we did a set of KOOKS longtubes on a supercharged Marauder by comparison the Lightning install was so much easier.

Gone are the days of the single Diesel tip!
It leaked, rattled, rusted, and drove me to distraction, so at Mopac's 2009 Boxing Day sale I picked up a Borla catback for $630 (15% off).
Just before my unscheduled 5 day trip to Victoria, Keith and I remedied the source of my ire...
I'm sure your saying "Not another exhaust thread" but who doesn't want to offer an opinion on something when the opportunity presents itself?
Here's the question; "What catback should I buy based on sound?"
Before you answer here's all the background info;
The truck is a daily driver...
Just picked them up from UPS this morning, and I'm quite happy with them at least cosmetically so far.
When I learned that I could get stainless steel longtubes, with resonated midpipes shipped to Canada for less than a locally purchased (or fabricated) catted mid-pipe, I must say I was...
Looking at the autometer steering column pod for the Lightnings and all they list is 97-01 F150. So did Ford do a major overhaul of the steering column plastics or is autometer just not interested in updating their books?
Is anyone running one of these on a 02+ truck, and if so did you have...
