    Goodbye 3:73's

    Yeah I know I will hate the downgrade in performance. I went from 2:73 auto to 3:73 manual and we all know the difference that made. I've had the 3 73 in there for three years already. The 3:27's will be temporary, gear swaps are like a "walk in the park" for me so I'll switch if I can't handle...

    Goodbye 3:73's

    I'm swapping out my 3:73's for 3:27's this week. I recently moved 35 miles from my work and my gas bill sucks! I put about 70 miles on my daily driver LX and I can not make it through the week without refueling twice. I've been getting about 260 miles average per tank (all freeway driving). Rpms...

    Drill Hole In Throttle Body Plate To Fix Surge?

    You said you set the tps with ignition off. Should set with ignition with key set to "on" position but with engine off. I wouldn't drill a hole in the throttle blade. I have a 65mm Accufab TB with no hole drilled. Go to a Ford dealer and buy an idle adjuster plate that goes between the Idle...

    Poor Paint Quality

    I think its sad that your talking b.s. about your work place. Makes me wonder what type of quality work you put out. I work at a Ford dealership as a mechanic and I've seen many of our Body Shop's paint jobs and they are of high quality, we even have "state of the art" paint booths.

    Got my intake off.. now what?

    Sorry to say but it looks like that engine was not properly maintained. All that black sludge means Lack of oil changes. I would pull the heads and clean as much carbon off the chambers heads and valves. Basically freshin up the top end while you half way there.

    How to rotate direction tires?

    MAVRICK0716 On a NON Limited slip differential the right rear tire WILL wear more than the left rear. Just look at any Ranger or F 150's tires that haven't been rotated in over 5000 miles and measure the tread depth on the rear tires. For example: The fronts on a F 150 will be at...

    How much for paint?

    I"ll end up spending about 500. Taking Auto Body and Refinish at my local college. I've used all of the tools needed to do the body work at school and I'll also use their booth and paint guns. I recently bought all the supplies to primer my car for only $120 using my schools shop prices. I...

    Crank Dampner almost fell off!

    Yes, with all his mods and driving style he should've got an aftermarket dampner, our shop was about to close and he needed his car that night. So we popped one in about 10 min or so. I'm sure he'll get a good aftermarket dampner on there soon, I hope.

    Crank Dampner almost fell off!

    My brother's 95 5.0 (H/C/I , full exhaust, 3 55 etc etc) was running like crap for a few weeks. He tryed every test imaginable to get it to run properly. (Brother works with me at a FORD dealer, he's a front end tech) Timing was eratic, power would come and go, idle was eratic etc. He would...
