    -6AN Tranny Line Project

    A few weeks ago, I went wheeling and somehow broke a tranny cooler line. I absolutely hate bending inverted flair tubing, the one peice is really long (8') and above all reasons, I do my best never to replace, always upgrade. Parts needed. -6AN to 5/8"-18 Fittings (4 total), I used...

    Thinking about SAS

    OK, so here is my dilema. I use my truck to play with, but it's also my ride to work when the weather is bad. I think an SAS would make my wheeling expereinces better but I'm still concerned about keeping the functionality for the rest of the week. Problem #1 driveability) It seems like...

When the steering wheel is straight, the passenger side wheel is kicked out to the right and the wheel is completely off camber. (top is leaning out.) I took the wheel off to inspect everything but nothing looks...

    Homelink install in early second gen

    I've been poking around for a year now looking for light gray visors with homelink and voice recorder built in. I finally got tired of looking and just got a dark gray set. When I began installing them, I realized the wiring of my vanity mirror visors was a bit different than that of what...

    Wideband controllers

    Who has them, what kinds do you have and what do you think of them? I was leaning towards the Innovate LC1 myself but I've read quite a few threads on other forums about them not being any good including Innovate's forum.

    Airbag interchangability?

    I've been thinking about swapping my 96 airbag out with a newer one from an 02+ Sport/SportTrac. I've seen black ones, there is even one on ebay right now. The look nicer and have the Ford emblem embossed/plastic instead of molded into the face. Will an 02+ work? Will it line up with the...

    08 ST in my future?

    OK, so the wife starts dropping hints like she would rather have an SUV instead of her Lincoln. I started looking at 08 Sport-Trac's and :eek: on the sticker but I really do like how they look. How do you guys that have the new 3valve v8 like them? How's the power? Is it geared well? Any...

    something different.

    So I've been racking my brain on how I could mount a ScanGaugeII in my truck and it not stick out like a terd in a punch bowl. First I thought a message center housing would be good but I like having the **** box where it goes for stuff and the extra buttons on the housing would be kind of...

    Temp gauge wiring

    So I bought this B&M Temp gauge from Ebay, $20 shipped. The only problem is it is just the gauge, no instructions, no wires, no sender, no nothing as far as the operation of the gauge. I went to summitracings' website and got the instructions. Here is my q: Since the OBD2 has trans...

    I have done tons of mods to my 5.0. Ecam, 1.6rr, TM headers, Custom intake, 30# injectors, 90mm MAF, custom cat back, yada, yada, yada. I have a popping noise coming from my passenger side header, possibly cylinder #3 and or 4. I think my problem may be in my tune. I have Sniper tuning...

    Alternatives to homelink

    Welp, I have been looking for gray homelink visors for about six months. I'm getting impatient and starting to think of alternatives. Idea one. get the homelink button set and stick it in my visor. It seems like it might be a PITA. Maybe I'll pick up a spare stock visor and mutilate it...

    Dual factory tranny coolers?

    Has anyone tried this or thought of it? I was kicking around the other day putting the radiator back in my truck after the engine swap and thought that maybe one could fit in the other side of the grill opposite of where the one comes from the factory. I hava an extra and I'm tempted to...

    custom throttle cable and vacume pump bracket

    I'm doing away with the EGR and the big clunk elbow during my motor swap. I'm also adding a 75mm throttle body and I have ported the upper intake to match. This put me in the dilema of how to make the trottle cable and cruise control linkage work properly. I also needed a place to mount...

    Can I???????

    Have one swing at the idiotic Ford engineer that designed the motor mounts in the 5.0 Explorer? Just one? Please? I took the 150k old ones out last night to replace them. After 2.5 hours, dropping the front diff enough to reach the drivers side, I thought I was in the clear. However, the...

    header wrap?

    So I was showing off my new Torque Monster headers to a friend and he asked me if I was going to wrap them? I dunno? I like the way they look. I know wrapping your headers helps insulate them from letting the heat out into the engine compartment and supposed to give you more HP. Should I...
