    Ranger or s10/sonoma

    If you need a truck to haul, like a 4x8 sheet of plywood, go for a bigger truck. If you need good gas mileage, buy a Focus.

    What do i need to know about S197's

    Check for a musty smell on the passenger side floor and watch out for the aluminum corroding hoods. 08's were supposed to have the revised heads with less spark plug issues.

    my worked 5.0 wont idle right.

    Disconnect the IACV and turn your throttle plate stop bolt in a few turns and start the car. Make adjustments to get your car to idle at the 900 rpms. IACV is the cylindrical item attached to the throttle body. Also, be sure to set your fuel pressure to 38 psi without the vacuum line...

    Warming up a cold engine without a block heater

    If you pull up to it with a car that runs, jump it. IF you can't get a car in there, you need to pull the battery and let it warm up slowly. DO NOT put any flamed-heat by it as it can explode. In other words, pull it out, bring it inside at your home and let it warm up for 24 hours. If you...

    will i beat him?

    My friend I have one word for you and that is "LS3." 415 hp vs. you're slow AOD car. IF you wanted to run a 4.10 gear, covert over to a t-5 and leave the line at 5500 rpms with a dialed in pinion angle on a full slick, you might be able to hold him off until the 1000ft mark but he will...

    4.6 Trouble codes, help!

    You'll need to check ohms on the sensor itself and the feed back to the computer where it plugs in at to make sure there isn't a break in the wire if the sensor checks out.

    Voltage drops to 10.5 to 11 when headlights and foglights are on, need help

    Now if you only had a meter with an amp clamp you'd be able to see if your alt is putting out the full amps at idle and just isn't able to keep up with your new system. I venture to bet he needs a higher rated alt. My stock GT dims the lights a bit under full defrost in the winter time, so I...

    ? about my lean problem, tell me what you think...

    Post up your A/F ratio chart that your tuner should have given you! It would be nice to have a recorded cycle of the injector duty cycle and maf load at that given RPM where you are running lean. Also, ANY leaks before the exhaust reading zone need to corrected before any tuning is done...

    Storing my '07 GT for the winter

    I agree with everything except waiting to drain the oil. Drain and fresh fill before storage, otherwise any moisture, gas, acids will be sitting in there all winter long. You can start and go on that gas and oil, make sure you drive it for atleast 30 mins to burn off any moisture from sitting...

    Opinions on street car motors

    I knew someone would appreciated it, especially with how many Explorer intake threads I see floating about on Stangnet. The aluminum uppers allow someone to extrude hone them (hopefully the lower as well) where as the GT40 is limited by the "tubes." 9 times out of 10...extrude honed...
