    There is a superchips model 1865 on my local CL. This model covers gas ford trucks suv and mustangs. I look at the specific models offered, and there was a mustang 5.0, and explorers, but not explorers with 5.0. Could I still use this chip?

    will they fit?

    I found a Borla Stinger catback exhaust and a Jlt true cold air intake on craigslist and I thought they would be pretty cool to fit on my mounty. But the big question is if they will fit. They are for a 2003-2004 mustang cobra Thanks, Biggon71

    slight squeak

    I have a slight squeak going on when I drive like like 20-30 mph but it goes away when I hit the brakes.

    Be honest with me

    I want to install a body lift on my 2000 mounty, but I do not want to pay 400+ for someone to install it. Do you think I can install it by myself? I consider my self a smart fellow, but have zero mechanical background. I have ample time to do it because I have a spare truck. Thanks for being...

    Question about gears

    I plan on putting a body lift and some 33 inch m/t or a/t's but I have read some people change their gears to return it to stock. What happens if I don't change gears? How will it ride? And if I decide to change them how much should I look at paying? Many Thanks!

    Rear shackles question

    I just put a TT on my 2000 Mounty and now need to put shackles on the back. I was looking at the war #153's and the website (http://www.tellico4x4.com/product_info.php/products_id/6362) told me "All shackles come in pairs, each pair lifts one end of your vehicle." Does this mean I will need...
