    Beef up the rear...need advice.

    Get a set of 31 spline axles, Moser, Superior. 3 inch studs, and since it's a DD you would most likely be fine with an OEM F150 31 spline diff. Before putting it in have a shop do the mods needed to fit the extra clutches in the diff. Might as well replace all the bearings & seals while...

    Fuel Injector Flush/Service

    I put a can of B12 Chemtool in with about 1/2 tank of gas. Then drive the car until the low fuel light comes on. Fill the tank back up. Then within a week or so put a new Motorcraft fuel filter in. I do this about 3 to 4 times a year.

    Track Tips

    Since it's your first time out these are the first 3 things I'd suggest. 1. Go around the water box completely. Once your in the lane groove rev up to about 5k and drop the clutch for a 2 count. That's good enough to get the tires clean. 2. Once staged, hold the rpm at 2.5k. When the...

    Clunking when i shift

    Was the noise there before you changed the pinion seal? If not, I would suspect that the pinion crush washer may have crushed quite a bit more when you tightened the pinion nut. This would completely jack the backlash that the rear gear should see. This could easily cause a loud clunk since...

    What quadrant and firewall adjuster to go with?

    I've had a Steeda quadrant & cable adjuster along with a modified OEM cable for a good while now and have been very happy with the setup.

    unusual idle/click click - vid inside

    It doesn't sound at all like it has aftermarket cams. With the way the idle hangs then drops I'd bet there's a vacuum leak somewhere. Do you have any aftermarket tune in the car? I s the C&L MAF larger than the stock MAF? If it is and you don't have the ECM tuned for it it could...

    Broken Motor Mount....

    Yes, it works. I've used this test many times over the years. It's easiest to se in FWD cars though. They seem to have the most flexible motor mounts.

    WARNING: K&N Oil Filter

    Fram used to be pretty good. I used their filters all the time. Over the past 10 years or so their quality has gone downhill fast. I wouldn't use one now unless I had no choice. Also, he (and me) are talking about the OIL filters not the air filters. You're K&N air filter is fine, just...

    WARNING: K&N Oil Filter

    Is there a chance that the old rubber gasket was still on there from the old filter? Either way, stick with Motorcraft.

    Plenum Combo

    All the plenums are within 1-2 HP of each other, nothing even noticable when you're driving. The only reason to buy the more expensive ones is just because you want it all pretty or just want to say you have that certain brand.

    alternative to throwing PI heads in trash?

    With nobody making aftermarket heads, and then a good amount of heads get screwed with a plug blowout.... There's no reason to throw away a perfectly good set of heads. If everybody did that we'd be really paying oput the ass for ported stock heads.

    autolite platium plug 1.99

    Why do the Motorcraft coppers only last you 10k miles? They should last much longer than that. I just pulled a set out of my 02 after about 35-40k and they looked fine.

    Tire width question

    It also depends on the brand of tire. You can easily fit a Nitto 315/35/17 on a 9" rim since Nittos run kind of narrow but a BFG of the same size should be on at least a 10" rim.
