2003 Ford Lightning **SOLD**
Well the time has come to move on to something new, I am really thinking of selling my Lightning to get one. I'm seeing if people might be interested in it, if not I will just hold on to it for a while longer. Here are the details on my truck. It's a 2003 with right at 61,000 miles on the chassis and transmission and around 15,000 miles on the newly built motor. The motor was built by Arthur Todd at AVT Performance in Conway,SC in June 2008 so anyone who knows him knows that his work is top notch. Brian, Woody, and Ronnie all had him build their motors. His work speaks for itself.. The oil has been changed every 3,000 miles with Amsoil 5W-30 and K&N Oil Filters. I had the transmission flushed at 59000 miles at Crown Ford, so that is brand new. I bought a brand new battery from Ford back in late 2008 and I also just replaced the rear tires on August 15th 2009 with brand new Nitto NT555's and the front Nitto's have about 10,000 miles on them and have plenty of tread left. I also had an alignment done too. The truck runs awesome and I have never had a single problem with it. I take very good care of this truck and the fellow members who know me personally can agree like Ronnie, Alan, Woody, Carl...the list goes on. There are a few minor wear and tear dings on the truck like some scratches on the left rear wheel well, it's noticeable but not that bad. Also, the typical front bumper scratches on the bottom where it scrapes sometimes on curbs. There is also a small crack on the front bumper cover next to the driver's side headlight. All in all, the paint is very clean and shiny... I spray wax it every time I wash the truck. The interior is good, little spots here and there and I have Corbeau race seats installed so there is a space open between the two seats. A console would easily fill the space up and look really good. The truck has 2 tunes on the SCT Xcal2. A Street tune and a C16 Race tune that made 639HP/693TQ! I have only ran the truck at the drag strip twice and that was only on the street tune with bald drag radials and ran an 11.50 @ 121. I can't tell you what it runs like on the race tune, but it will easily run 10's on slicks and skinny fronts.
Here are my mods to the truck.....

So bare with me... lol Thanks for your interest and if you have any questions or want more pics, please contact me. I'm looking to get around $23,000 for the truck with all the mods and built motor but the price is negotiable.... Thanks, Jeff.
