    Lightning build question/suggestions

    I know I've asked this question before, but I've now got the money set aside and the truck ready to move. I have an '04 L with about 50k on it. Previous owner pullied and exhausted the truck with a diablosport tuner until it started blowing coils. Now that I've had it, it's sat in my garage...

    F150 tranny problem

    I know this isn't a fast 150 - just a work truck - but I seem to have lost my account at F150online. Have a '98 F150 with the 5 spd, V6. It won't shift between gears with the engine running and the clutch pedal is very soft. I've had all kinds of different opinions offered by various...

    Need some advice/input -- Rebuild vs. Buy a Rebuilt

    Have an '04 with no real mods - pullied, exhaust, that's it, 60K miles. I had it dyno tuned in Houston because I thought I heard detonation but the tuners said there was none, though the tuning didn't get rid of the noise that I thought was the detonation. Anyway, I blew a coil under...

    Widest rear on stock wheel?

    Whats the widest rear tire you can run on a snd gen stock rear wheel? I was looking for some DRs but the Toyo Proxes DR only comes in a 315 for the 18" wheel. As an aside - what are the best options for drag radials?

    Catless exhaust options

    I'm loking for a new muffler. I'll be running no cats (off-road only) straight from the manifold - no headers yet - and am looking for the best, most aggressive sounding muffler. Flowmaster original 40? Flowmaster 10? Super 40? Super 44? The 10 is the only one chamber muffler, correct?

    Time to wake up this Lightning. Prices sound right? Packages?

    My L has about 40K on it but has had a little detonation resulting in some valve chatter. I had it tuned by a 'reputable' shop in Houston but they didn't fix shit. Now I'm interested in taking the first steps toward building it right. Got these prices from LFP, prices sound about...

    Lightning front-end help

    Let me preface this by saying my search didn't yield the results I wanted. Also, I'm not really a mechanic. My local shop has said that the front left wheel bearing is out on my truck. It pops when I'm at full-right turn lock in reverse - and doesn't feel that stable through corners. L/F...

    Bedding brakes, help me out guys.

    I just got some new drilled slotted rotors for my L, with pads. I used to change the brkes on all my vehicles but to be honest I was never the best at bleeding them (some kind of black-art). Anyway, they were never high-perfomance vehicles and I wasn't too concerned with top-of-the-line...

    I hae an '04 L that I bought with 20K on the clock. It has swapped upper and lower pulleys, exhaust and is otherwise stock - has been dynotuned because it was detonating on the canned Diablo tune. I haven't ever really topped it out but had an open stretch of (private) road last night and...

    Help, please. Locking rear hub?

    I got a flat on the driver rear (stock wheel) and need to change the tire. I've got it sitting in the driveway with the truck on a stand with the lug nuts off, but the wheel won't come off the axle. The wheel feels loose but like it's attached at the hub somehow. I've removed the plastic...
