    No power!

    Unplugged the MAF and drove home from work, only difference in performance is that the truck died at a stop sign one time. Restarted easily. But power and acceleration stayed the same. Assuming no change means MAF is bad ??

    No power!

    STILL NO POWER!! Replaced the Throttle Position Sensor, it did help another problem but not the lack of power. My idle used to randomly fluctuate up and down before and since the new sensor it does not. I cleaned the MAF sensor elements and it made no difference. Here is a bit more details of...

    No power!

    Engine is boggy and has very little power now under 3000 RPM'S. Right about 3000 and up the motor clears up and seems to be at full power again. Any Ideas?

    Aussie Locker.

    I made a homemade 3/4" coil spacer and extended the rear shackles 1.5" but I did this when I was running 31's. My question would be does this F-150 coil job lift the differential much? or is that just front tire size. My experience "comes from straight axle trucks" that lift do not raise your...

    Prerunner/Dual Purpose 94 Build

    I love that you painted that lift. I have done the best i can to hide my mods. with the exception of my bumpers and winch most people assume it is stock. I like them to think that. If you are thinking locker I would look into the Aussie. I run them front and rear and I love them. Some may give...

    Gear changing?

    If i put alot of freeway miles on it still then yes. but that is not what I use it for anymore. I still DD it but no more freeway trips. what I was saying is that I had no issues when it was 3.27 with 31's. I run 33's now. I could not imagine the lack of power I would have now with 3.27s

    Gear changing?

    My 3.27s worked great with my 31's. 5th hear at about 1900 would cruise at about 70. Never had an issue. I had tons of power. maybe cause i got a 2 door? lighter?

    Gear changing?

    Do you have an Auto tranny or a Standard? I ran 3.27's forever with my 31's and never had an issue. But I had a 5-speed. I only switched to 3.73's because I was installing lockers and the previous owner ran the front diff dry so it was pretty toasted when I got it. 3.73 where what was...

    a bit of info

    I was having a few minor issues with the 97 5.0 i bought a week ago. I noticed 2 things. 1. My temp gauge never went above the C even though my heater would blow nice HOT air. 2. When at an idle and in drive or when going from light gas peddle to hard gas peddle the truck would back...
