    exhaust setup question...

    "What is the small 90 degree pipe fitting that right behind the hangars? I blocked off the O2 sensor ports but I'm not sure what the other is for." I believe that's a hookup for a hose that runs off the smog pump or some smog related part.

    good article on pi swaps

    I've been thinking about this too. Is a custom tune a must after you get it done?

    Tuner Arrived...

    Mine was under the hood in the fuse box. It was a 60 and 20 watt right beside each other. The second ant third from the right in the top row if you're at the front of car facing the windshield, but I have a 97. I just got one the other day the tunes were crap. Everytime I'd push in the clutch...

    SCT TOLD ME YOU CAN'T ADJUST FOR GEARS ON 97?

    I tried the tunes they sent me so I could decide if I might want to keep it and I lost power plus whatever rpm you were at when you pushed in the clutch it would hang there for like seven seconds then it would drop to 1,500 rpm and stay. Only good thing it did for me was shut my check engine...

    what oil should I use?

    50 weight oil is too thick. I don't know the 4.6 engine very well yet but thick oil has caused a lot of oil pump drive shafts to break on 5.0's at high rpm's.

    Worst fears: T5 Worm Gear problem, need advice

    It's not hard to take the tail shaft housing off just take the drive shaft out and unbolt it. May have to take cross member out it's been quite awhile since I've did it, but if you have a jack, jack stand, and some wrenches it's not hard at all.

    SCT TOLD ME YOU CAN'T ADJUST FOR GEARS ON 97?

    Coramprat. There's a driven gear on the end of the cable and there's a drive gear in the tranny if you want to get the speedo working the way it should without chewin up the gears they both need to be changed. I got lucky and they said they'd take the Xcalibrator back. I'm gonna go with a...

    Tom. Shouldn't a speed cal work ok. Replacing the driven gear has always left my speedos off in the 5.0's I've had and I don't feel like rippin the tailshaft off the tranny to replace the drive gear. Gettin Lazy.

    SCT TOLD ME YOU CAN'T ADJUST FOR GEARS ON 97?

    COramprat. You mean having to disconnect the battery after you put the tune in. It looks like I'll have to pay a 20% restocking fee so about $80 plus shipping to return it.

    SCT TOLD ME YOU CAN'T ADJUST FOR GEARS ON 97?

    How do the speedo recalibrators work for 94 and up? I just seen the star beside axle ratio selection on the SCT sight where it says 99 and up. Guess i screwed up.

    SCT TOLD ME YOU CAN'T ADJUST FOR GEARS ON 97?

    I got a xcalibrator today mainly to adjust for my gears and tires and played around with it for awhile couldn't find anything to make adjustments to these things so I figured it would be in my custom tunes since I told the dealer all my mods. Took the car out and drove it and speedo is still off...

    Will Seafoam kill new spark plugs?

    If you run it through your intake I would think it would clean the plugs.

    4.10's just installed, slight whine...

    Check the pinion for sure mine came a little loose on me guess I didn't tighten it tight enough to crush the crush sleeve. Retightened it and have no noise at all.

    You can set some gears up perfect and you'll still have a little whine in them.

    exhaust setup question...

    Loosen the H-pipe on both ends and put a floor jack under the middle set it where you want it and tighten it. Might have to realign your tailpipes afterwards.

    Power window problem.

    I ripped the motor and scissor assembly out and everything was was fine, couldn't figure it out, then I crammed my head in the door and seen the front bracket that the window slides up and down on was off track and the plastic slider was broken off. Looks like a pain to get too, put it's...
