Go easy on me guys.... but am I right in thinking that a 2004 Lightning does not have a cabin air filter?

Hi all! I need to locate two front stabilizer bolts. These are the ones that secure the saddle mount for the bar to the frame. They simply thread right into the frame. Two on each side. M10-1.5 X 2.0. I think it is 2.0, possibly longer. These bolts are obsolete from Ford and are unique to the...

Replaced my 16 year old K&N drop in and...holy shit....what a difference!! The butt dyno says at least 25 more hp, and the blower whine is WAY louder. Much more responsive and powerful. Even though I cleaned it regularly, it appears they do either wear out, not clean well as they age or what...

2004 bone stock, not beaten hard or ever raced. I changed the tranny fluid at around 50K miles. Currently has 98K miles. Should I have the whole system flushed and have the filter changed, or just the pan & filter? Fluid looks, & smells brand new. No shifting issues.

2004, bone stock Lightning, not raced or abused, 98,800 miles now, bought it 2007 with 19 K on it. Been my daily driver ever since. Don't race it or tow or haul anything. Maintained meticulously . Basically baby it. 2 weeks ago, put it into reverse, and the entire drive train simply jammed, very...

Greetings everyone! My 2004 Lightning developed a metallic front suspension rattle when hitting a rough patch of road or even small pothole. Where I live, the roads are total crap, so no surprise. She has about 97K miles & is bone stock. Turns out it was on the passenger side where the front...

Hey everybody! Just had my lighting repainted, got all the new plastic trim I could find and also got new seat covers and carpets. Anybody have any ideas or ways to prevent all the wear on the drivers left side seat from occurring? As we know the material is subjected to wear every time you...

Getting my '04 painted and really could use the rear window plastic surround. Ford calls it 'Reveal Molding'. Of course no OEM available. Found one on Ebay for $600 and looked to be in worse shape than the one already on it. Looks like this is a VERY hard proper part to locate. Any ideas? Thanks...

Going to get my '04 Sonic Blue Lightning re-painted soon. Went to the Ford dealer hoping to get new OEM tail light lens assemblies. Not available, as I suspected. Found several on various 'Plain Jane Auto Parts' websites. Any suggestions on where to get the best one? No luck on Ebay. Just...

Hey there! 2004 bone stock Lightning, 91000 miles, and the ABS light came on for the first time about a week ago. At first, in was intermittent, now it is on constantly. Tested the brakes, & yes, with the ABS light on you certainly don't have anti-lock; which of course makes sense. Now for the...

Hi guys! Just wondering if it is possible to have just a better & hotter tune installed without having the crank pulley changed for more boost. Is it worth it? Any idea what the HP/TQ increase would be? 2004, bone stock, 90,000 miles.

Hello my friends! It has been many years since I have posted. I have an '04 Lightning that just turned 90,000 miles. She is bone stock. I have noticed lately that when I hammer it, I detect a slight vibration in my foot from the gas pedal. Very strange. Still runs & performs fine. Just feels...

Does anyone sell the fuel filter removal tool that is not made of cheap plastic that never wants to work? These are always such a bitch to remove... any tips on making it easier? So many of you change the fuel filter very frequently, so there must be some trick I am not getting. I...

Thinking of getting a 4lb lower and a dyno tune for my stock Lightning. I live in Santa Rosa. What is the best place that isn't too far away.

Has anyone ever put on a 4lb pulley with a tune, while retaining the stock air filter box?

Sold her today. Only took 4 days to sell. New owner found it on Craigslist. I will miss the Cobra, but I am blessed enough to have my '04 Lightning as my DD, so I can still get my 'Whine Fix' every day. I sold her because I just never really drove the car as much as I should. Plus, with the...

SOLD IT!!! Only took 4 days! Wow! 577 views and only 5 replies. Looks like Craigslist is the way to go. Got lucky and sold it to a nice young man of 22, who only lives about 30 miles away, so I can still see the car occasionally. In fact, he said he was a Chevy guy, so the Termiator and I...

2003 NON PULLIED - LOW miles! $21,000 Selling my 2003 SVT Cobra. Redfire coupe. 18,500 miles. Second owner. I have all the original paperwork, window sticker and documentation including the original bill of sale. This car is non pullied with the stock tune. The only mods are a K&N FIPK...

2003 SVT Cobra. 18,500 miles. One of the few remaining NON PULLIED Cobras left. Redfire with chrome wheels. The ONLY mods are a K&N FIPK, Borla Stinger catback, MGW shifter & BF IRS brace. Owned by a 50 year old motorhead who meticulously has babied and maintained it since I bought it from...

Help me out, fellow Terminator owners!! I'm getting a really weird 'bug' about selling my nearly stock, 2003, 18,000 mile garage queen Terminator for a 1970's classic Mustang. Have been thinking about buying a 1970 Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland 4V and a 4 speed. Probably looking for a clean...

The plugs in my '04 are factory original and the truck has 34,000 miles. I have owned it since it had 20,000 miles and have never checked the plugs for tightness. I know the '03-'04 heads have the nine threads per inch. My question is; do you guys think I should check the plugs to see if they...

Just curious who is still on their original factory battery? Mine still works great, but I have used a battery tender for the last two years. I think that is what makes it last longer. Mine is an '03 and a garage queen with only 18,700 miles.

I live in Northern California and I just paid my annual DMV registration at a cost of $394 for my 2004 Lightning. Just wondering how much others pay? I do have a personalized plate, but that only adds $25. Total ripoff!! I know this screwed up state is one of the most expensive, but it would...

I'm about to flush the cooling system. Only have 29,000 miles, but the truck is 5 years old. Do you guys put in distilled water?
