I had a GT500 that had copious mods and dynoed out at 770 at the rear wheels. So I know a little bit about modifying a vehicle but not so much the lightning. What are the basic first mods I can do to increase horsepower but still keep the vehicle safe within its limits
I want to keep the stock...
I need a clock spring for my new 2001 F150 lightning and they’re hard to come by. So I had the dealership that I retired from do a nationwide search and I found three dealers that had them in stock. The first dealer called had one and he’s holding it for me and will ship it to me on Monday.
The...
As most of you know I just bought a pristine 2001 F150 lightning with 13,000 miles. It’s been lowered and want to put it back to the standard height. I took the truck to the shop that does all my work and this is what he told me.
Someone put a drop knuckle/lowering spindles on the front to...
I just finished the transaction this afternoon and drove the truck home. One fog light doesn’t work (bought a new bulb) and of all things the horn f doesn’t work. Will diagnosis that tomorrow when I do the safety check at the ford dealership which I retired from

My wife and I our moving to a 55 and over community that only allows two vehicles per household. So with my wife’s car, I can only bring one vehicle but own two . A 92 F 250 w/ 79460 miles in mint shape and the 07 Shelby
What I’ve come up with since I also at times need a truck is to sell both...
I am one of the original old guard and have had my share of SHO's, all GEN 1's
Just made arrangements to purchase a beautiful 91 black with mocha interior and plan to pick it up end of August
Besides owning a 07 GT500, I own a 1999 Centurian pkg F-350 Crew Cab 2wd dually.
But as some may know my first love was my GEN 1 SHO.
I owned a beautiful 1991 SHO + and was heavily involved in the SHO business for many years.
I did my own work and repaired customers cars, engine tear downs...
Im trying to figure out just what I raced a few days ago.
It was the newer generation camaro and pretty sure it had the SS badges
Also had the brembo brake upgrade
After the first and only dig, we stopped at the next light and in asking, the camaro driver said the car was cammed (definitely...
Just installed the Diode Dynamics XP 80 cool lights and now I have to replace the head lamps bulbs. They truly look dull compared to the new fogs. THEY ARE BRIGHT
Very straight forward install
I now need help getting a replacement led bulb for my headlamps that would mimic the look of diode...

**Need advice REGARDING intercooler & radiator relays**
Question to the forum. I am not having any current obvious issues with either relay. Since I have the Ford Premium Care extended warranty and it expires this fall I want to maximize it and since I know the relays go bad is a visual ID buy...
I had bought a set of NTO5's about a year ago for my 07 GT500 in a 305x30x20 size. It was ( at the time so I thought ) the only tire that would fit and still be within specs of my front G2's OD for abs concerns
Without going into alot of detail, the tires were highly recommended by the rep and...
Ok, got my Cr spotless washer in today and gave it a try.
Pretty simple to put together and its just another purification system to remove the minerals and hardwater spots. I washed the car and sprayed it off and now it sits in the sun. I am on a well system which normally would end up with...

I have all the parts so I am slowly going to go at it
Took the wheel off and current 4 piston caliper off and hung it out of the way but didnt disconnect it. Want to make sure it all lines up.
First thing I did is to make sure the caliper does bolt to my OEM caliper bracket
Bolts perfectly...
I am doing a massive conversion to the front braking system to my 07 GT500. I ordered this part x 2 , left and right side for a 13-14 GT500 it shows as a splash shield in the ford parts guide but got this.
I have been curious as to how my internals are wearing; am I close to needed new bearings or are they pristine etc. So on the advice of Jesse, VMP top tech, he suggested I do a oil analysis which will tell me how the motor is doing with 68000 miles on it.
Got the report today and it speaks for...
My rear brakes are cross drilled and the new front 15" rotors are OEM from Ford and wont be
I will try to send them back but that may not fly and if I am stuck with them are there any companies that will cross drill a customers own rotor?
Im in the process of getting new parts from the dealesrhip I retired from and in speaking with a engineer today from FRPP, he told me as long as the knuckle configeration for my 07 is the same as a 2010 GT500 this willl work. So before I lay down some money even though everyone has said yes this...
