oregondime Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 my friend has one of those, im not a fan of fords but hot damn theyre fun! Quote Link to comment
Redd Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 :) he will.... Fords dont have a problem with wiring... If your talking about them catching on fire. The problem with that is a pressure switch for the cruise control on the brake booster next to the brake fluid resivor.. Even if you dont use it it can malfunction and stay on and get hot and melt and then catch the brake fluid on fire.. Fords wonderful fix is just a inline fuse on the harness..... Problem goes back to the 93 fords just now fixing it Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Okay I don't know much about domestic vehicles so be nice :) Isn't that truck the fastest production line truck? So how much does power does it put to the ground? Quote Link to comment
Redd Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Okay I don't know much about domestic vehicles so be nice :) Isn't that truck the fastest production line truck? So how much does power does it put to the ground? well it was the fastest till the srt-10 dodge viper truck beat the mph by like 2-4mph i believe.. Yet at the track and on the streets the lightning still owns it.... before i built my motor i had a lifted head on the passanger side, under boost (15lbs) and coolant and oil spewing out between the head and block and the coolant system pressurising and spewing coolant out the resivor, from a 80mph roll i pulled 3 trucks on him till about 120mph or so.. yes wasnt good for the motor but already had plans to yank it cause had started on the new motor already.. So i was trying to pop it and what better way than beating a viper truck that was talking crap at a local sonic :D My truck is roughly in high 500hp/600trq club... have changed things so need a new dyno run. These trucks are torque monstors... Quote Link to comment

Redd Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 put some 14s on the back then roast em ;) more efficient tire burning Cant fit 14s on the truck.. Smallest i can go is 16s cause of brake calipers.. I can fit some 15s but have to shave rear caliper.. rear bogart rims i wanted for slicks i was going to have to shave the caliper to fit em... But heres a sound clip of the truck... I cut the end off cause im having problems with the cams and idle air control valve fighting each other.. It either wants to idle and lope like it should or idle up high lol.... Quote Link to comment
