    Low Speed Clicking Noise

    I have a low speed clicking noise. Only happens after it's been driven a mile or so and warmed up. I thought for sure it was the CV joint on the front drive shaft. My mechanic crawled along side the truck as I was going really slow and said it sounded like it was coming from there. I just...

    Supercharger or Stroker for Towing?

    V8 Engine/Drivetrain Vibration

    I have a 98 5.0. Between second and third gear, from 2000-2500rpm, I'm getting this nasty resonant vibration I can feel under my feet. I noticed it a little before, but much worse since I changed to 31's. And, the more the engine lugs through this rpm range, the worse it is. If I really step...
