[QUOTE="MauserMatt, post: 3802446, member: 44391"] Hi all, First an introduction. My name's Matt and I live just west of Jacksonville, FL. I've loved these Lightnings since I first saw them in 99 and I've wanted one ever since. I love taking care of my vehicles (with my current 94 Ranger having 207,000 miles on it and still running strong). I also just had my pristine low milege 97 Thunderbird totalled by an old woman in an Escalade. So.... Hopefully soon with my job prospects on the rise (and an insurance check on the way) I'll be purchasing my dream truck, a Gen 2 Lightning.. But, I don't know a whole lot about what to look for when buying one. I see in the FAQs one thing is the smaller intercooler on the earlier L's and to look for one that was replaced under warranty, but what else do I look out for? Right now I think my top dollar I can go will be around $16-$17k. So that pretty much narrows me down to 99's and maybe some higher milege 00-01's. I'll probably keep it mostly stock. Or if I do anything I wouldn't go much over 400hp. But anyway, thanks for any input! Hopefully I'll be a regular around here.. Which will mean I'll have my own Lightning!! :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
