The truck is a 2002 RED Lightning. It has 32K miles on the truck but only about 7.500k on the motor. This truck was Built up by REDSVT150 you can research his name and go through his threads. The motor was built by Hotard racing engines in Louisiana and it has a single turbo set up. It also has a BS3 and Baumann unit. The stock ECM is still in the truck but it doesn't control anything but the gauges on the dash. The truck was tuned by PSI Motorsports in Webster,Tx.
I will try and explain stuff the best I can with what I know or have found out with the truck. It has a ton of power but is very tame for normal driving. Cruise works, A/C blows cold, Have CarFax no blemishes!
Asking $21,500 OBO truck is located in Boise, ID.

Maintenance:
Performed 30K Service when I got it home from Louisiana, Coolant and trans fluid were fine. Serviced rear diff with Royal purple fluid with Ford LSD Additive. Installed T&A Diff cover at that time.

Issues:
Has a little cold start hiccup but can't find any shops in the area that want to mess with the Big stuff 3. It goes into a limp mode kinda once it warms up shut it off and refire the truck it's perfect. Other than that could use a looser converter to allow it to spool off the line. I havent taken the truck to the track so no numbers. dyno'd at PSI motorsports at 661HP to the rear tires.Head gaskets seep oil. Doesnt use oil just seeps it. Not that bad just don't have the time to mess with it like the 5.4's we all know and love they leak at the corners. Will not pass emissions due to no Cat and 4 IN exhaust and magnaflow muffler and the Factory PCM controls the gauges thats it. CEL Light is on and Airbag Light due to No PCM communication with the engine.
PM me with Questions or prefer email or Phone call's. I don't get on here much anymore. I haven't owned the truck long but I am starting my own auto repair shop so things have to go. The truck will drive cross country. I drove it from New Orleans to Boise ID. trip report here Louisiana to Idaho Driving a Turbo Lightning trip report - Lightning Forum | LightningRodder.com
