    Today is the day I embark on a V8 swap....

    I bought a 5.0 engine out of a guy's mustang. I'm also buying a 99 mountaineer later today. I'm going to keep reading before I start wrenching but I'm tired of hearing about this swap and being too timid to try it. I wouldn't mind some help. Anyone in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky or Dayton...

    02 4x4 sport trac.... wanting to install the 17" torque thrust style wheels from a mustang

    Did a few searches and probably because of age some of the pics I hoped to see of other vehicles are no longer visible.... regardless, from what I've seen if I want mustang wheels they should be from the 1994 to 2004 mustangs, correct? I'm looking to combine this with the 3" body lift. If...

    5.0 swap?

    Is this a thing now? I see in the useful threads the original 5.0 swap but has anyone else done one? I did a search but not much came up....maybe I'm terrible at searching though. I'm curious about this, I see the one guy used an older mountaineer from the 90's as a donor but what about...

    Not looking forward to this....have to buy new tires, rebuild the front end

    Im running 265 75 16s with a 1" TT, I've had Toyo Open Country AT's and Cooper Discoverer ATP's on my 02. My model has 4wd. I now need some new tires. All I care about really is wet weather traction and snow (my wife uses the truck more than I do). We don't go off-road. I know its a shame...

    Reading up on sway bar links but I haven't yet found if I contributed to the sway bar link in my truck breaking by having the TT done...Ill keep searching but it looks like I want to get new links...do they need to be longer then stock? Sorry if these are dumb questions, I'm not on this forum...

    Chassis Groan...Geez its gotten terrible

    For the past few years my truck makes a terrible groaning noise, it seems to be coming from the rear. I see from searching others have had this on the front. I have new shocks and new tires by the way, and the noise only happens when I go around turns. It wasn't really that bad but it seems...

    Shocks

    Dude at Summit Racing is recommending KYB's to me Part numbers KYB-341302 and KYB-344269, I see most of you have bilesteins or the Rancho 5000's. What do you think of KYB? I saw from a search that one guy liked them on his Tahoe but Im curious if were talking about the same part numbers...

    Ok, Don't laugh....I'm scheduled to have my new tires put on Friday, so I'm wondering

    Im having my mechanic do the Torsion Twist for me and while he's got the wheels off I'm thinking, while he's there, maybe I should have him put on new shocks??????? My truck's got 135,000 miles on it. I don't sense there is anything particularly wrong with the current shocks but from the...

    Torsion Twist...Might be a dumb question but Ill ask anyway

    I crawed under my truck tonight so as to lube the two bolts that I will need to twist. I watched a couple youtube videos but when I got under there I noticed what I thought were the correct bolts, there were two L shaped brackets that looked to be in the right spot but these L-shaped brackets...

    Dang it my sport trac died

    Its been hard to start for about a year...we tried about everything and finally narrowed it down (I think) to the fuel pump. From searching I see others had this problem and still managed to keep the truck on the road, which is what I did but finally it just stopped idling today. I hope fuller...

    Sport trac vs. Edge

    Oh no... I let the wife drive the sport trac while I drive my turbo volvo wagon. Lately shes starting to make noise about how much she hates the truck, how little room is inside and how much she likes the ford edge... Geez, I'm just trying to pay the damn thing off, I have no intention of...
