Doug, I installed the speed control this morning, and learning _many_interesting_ things! First, I spent about 2 hours, pulling the steering wheel and installing the watch spring unit. Then I noticed that the old and new units had the same part number. Oh well. Next I installed the...

Yeah, I've heard that putting in a chip requires going to the high priced gas. I didn't know they didn't make a cat-back system for the 99 Sport. I've been vaguely checking into them, and I was put off by the cost (over $400), just to add a few horses. But then again, these bolt on blower...

Doug, I stand corrected. Your installation is exactly what I'm looking for: controls on the steering wheel and non-vacuum servo. When the local Ford dealer parts person showed me the kit they listed, it looked like the controls were mounted on the turn signal stalk, and the servo was some...

Doug, Thanks. I know about the Ford unit you've got, and I was concerned about routing the cables and bolting on the servo, etc, plus the fact that I *really* liked the controls on the steering wheel that the factory unit has. Is the servo unit vacuum operated? Did you have to pull cables...

I recently bought a 99 Sport 4x4 5Spd manual, without factory speed control. I have a 95 Sport 2x4 5Spd manual with factory speed control. It seemed that all of the wiring harness was there in the 99, so I thought I'd just try transferring the servo unit and steering wheel switches from the 95...

I drove a 95 Sport 2WD 5 Spd for a few years, then decided I needed a 4WD (besides, the 95 had 150K miles). I just got my 99 Sport, 4WD, 5 Spd, with 31K miles. On the first day I noticed that the 99 wouldn't go up hill nearly as well as the 95. But I'm pretty sure its the same engine (4.0 L). Is...
