Like, as much time as it would take minus an hour or two a day to work on college. With as many oil leaks as it seems I have, I'm not sure where to even start. lol Yeah, that's what I was wondering... I'm betting you guys are right. The yard I referred to is less than 5 miles up the...

These 5.0's are too much of beasts to be of the female variety ;) Getting pretty close to 200,000... If I remember right - 198,000 and some change. Problem is, this is my daily driver with no backup. I'm trying to weigh my options as to what would be the quickest and easiest for diagnosing...

Very nice. I like you're custom steps.

If you've already got the motor to go in, are you just having fun ripping the old one apart?

I'm guessing valve seals but I'm not sure. I also have traces of oil in the engine bay on top of the valve cover and on random parts dripping down the back side of the engine. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of getting the heads from a nearby junker and this gasket kit. The engine there...

Good question. And.. Do you want something just for looks?

Yeah. You have the Throttle Position Sensor and the Idle Air Control Valve on the throttle body. The IAC Valve will be the larger of the two. Which engine do you have?

I was thinking about modifying the stock steel bumper and putting a 99-01 plastic cover on it. The steel bumper would act as an impact bar and provide decent support for the cover. I personally would much rather have the newer look.

Wish I had found this before I ordered mine from LMC Truck... Good post. Thanks a lot! :)

I would do a seafoam cleaning and then swap out fluids for fresh like raga said. Which engine are you running?

Ouch man. Looks like it went down harsh. Good thing you've got a 331 going in :thumbsup: Keep us updated.

I'd say go with the old saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" - As far as the ignition coils go. Plugs and Wires are good if it's been a while since they've been replaced.

Clicking noise makes me think Relay. The way it's acting makes me think either sticky relay or bad switch.

HAHA. Glad to see you got your pulley bolt out finally. I couldn't think of any way of getting it out without removing the crank entirely. Nice work so far! :thumbsup:

There's a peanut in your plenum lol Where did you order it from? I didn't think a TFS-R would have that long of runners. In EFI theory, you would think for higher RPM power you'd want a larger plenum and shorter runners... maybe I'm wrong?

How you're going to build your engine is all going to depend on your budget, really. Whether you're upgrading to new heads, porting out stockers, rebuilding the bottom end with forged vs hypereutectic pistons... money is going to be the main issue. Speed costs money and there's really no way...

You think wheel bearings would be a good thing to change out while changing gears and differential? I know some kits I've seen on Summit come with them so it might be something to think about.

With both Supercharged and Turbocharged you would want lower compression unless you have a REALLY good tuner and a stout bottom end. Your cost effective solution would definitely be to rebuild. Are you rebuilding this yourself or having a shop do it for you? If done by a shop, I'd ask for an...

Wooow. Tight fit but you managed just fine. I just hope your engine doesn't shake too much to have that header be smacking into the steering shaft a whole lot. Are you using stock downpipes or are they going to be custom fabbed too?

This thread was on the second page so I lost hope lol Took the battery out and inspected it tonight with my Wal-Mart-bought voltmeter. 0.00... but as I took the battery out, I noticed that the sides were protruding and I didn't hear any sloshing around. Took off the battery cap and sure...

This site helped me out a lot... http://www.bcae1.com/relays.htm Find is right on the money but if you're like me, visuals help out a lot more than just words.

First off, info's in the sig. The last time I touched the Mountaineer, I was attempting to remove the fan clutch. I went back in today to rebolt everything that I took off so I could start running it. Here's my problem. I thought the battery was just dead from sitting for a while and...

**** or tires... problems are inevitable ;)

When you don't have a lot of money, they're definitely expensive lol I did the same thing. I broke one bolt and gave up. What I plan on doing is going around the entire body, loosening(or snapping) every bolt around it, jacking up the body and replacing each one for security purposes at...

Good man. :thumbsup: You try to cheap out now instead of doing it the right way you'll most likely regret it in the long run. Not too familiar with using JB Weld but I've heard that sometimes it works for a while and sometimes it doesn't even hold up.
