Oh, and I will get a sound clip up as soon as I can..smiliegitrdone

I agree!!:) I've heard other trucks around with 302's that have duals and I have yet to hear a crappy one..I can't wait to get mine fixed up a lil...it really doesn't need much, I replaced the alternator today because it locked up on me and snapped my old belt so I had to replace the...

Yeah that would be quite small haha.....anyways the truck sounds amazing with the thush glasspacks....nice and mellow at idle but you know it's there, give it some gas and it gets LOUD......smilieFordlogo

I made a mistake on that post you quoted me on, I shoulda edited it:headbang: I meant 2 and a quarter inch but the intake setup is stock on my truck..

uhhhhh thanks but no thanks...I think i'll stick with my '86....:guns: The only thing positive I have to say about it is it does sport the blue oval...but I DO KNOW that Ford coulda done waaaaaaaaay better than that....As long as it runs like a Ford(reliable with no MAJOR problems) then i'd...

Yeah, I really am gonna keep my '86...it's proven itself worthy many times over and over again, and today was a fine example....it was fulfilling it's 1/2 ton duties......one pic I took at night just for the hell of it but the rest were taken earlier this morning when I was haulin wood off to...

I just might do that, since the truck is paid off(im working minimum wage/part time hours so if I get a different truck i'd be stuck with payments again) and since i've already had a lot of work done with it....a good friend of mine offered to put an exhaust on it like he has on his '86...

Thanks guys....I actually bought the truck with that paint scheme, it came from a junkyard so hard telling why they didn't cover it all but I guess it doesn't look all that terrible....I would like to convert it over to a flatbed or find a more solid bed to put on it, as the one that's on it now...

Fuel injected 302......These things sound amazing with 1 1/4 inch dual pipes with short-case glasspacks.....talk about LOUD and poppish..

Ok well let me try this again.......posted my pics in the wrong thread but i'll relocate them over here, even though I can't delete my post with the pics on it on the other thread.:headbang:

Ok well I was gonna be nice and delete my post because I posted these pics on the wrong thread, I was going to post these in the post your picture of your 1980-86 ford f series truck thread but looks like I didn't git r done...I will git r done though smiliegitrdone

Finally have some pics!!

I will get pictures of mine up soon...it's a wee bit muddy though....im sure yall won't mind though....smiliegitrdone

Haha too cool man......I did this with my F-150 last weekend.....did in our mall parking lot at night when it cleared of customers and other cars later on that night.....also locked it in to 4 wheel drive and tested it out on some pretty hefty and tall snow mounds!!! bigdance Made it through...

Thanks, I will definetly be checking in to those...And as for the exhaust, I have listened to some clips on youtube, and I love the sound of flowmasters.......dynamax's are alright as well...I had a glasspack installed on my '76(still have it) buick with a 350 and a cherry bomb(it's kinda...

Well, ever since my last visit the truck has been running and has never quit on me anymore......though there is one noticeable problem that it has now but has had for some time now and I don't know what to make of it....anyways every once in a while when I let off the gas the engine sounds like...

Sort of yes, and sometimes it doesn't do it but even so the rpm's are still way down after letting off the gas, and heavy smell of gas comes up once in a while yes. I was thinking along the lines of maybe clogged injectors(or maybe they need replaced?) or fuel pressure regulator, but am not...

This is starting to get pretty aggravating. As you all know by now, I have been having non-stop problems almost ever since I have bought and owned the truck. It seems to me like once one thing gets fixed, it only takes several miles before something else happens. And 95 percent of the time...

Yeah it is the overdrive automatic trans. It never has shifted smooth since I got it but heck I didn't expect it to really since it has at least 144(possibly 244 but im assuming 144thousand miles) thousand on the odometer, and probably a rough 144 thousand miles at that! But if I can make it...

Well after fixing numerous problems on my truck, as in the past have been discussed on this board as most all of you likely are aware of. After using the 4 wheel drive in some mud the other day(a lot more water than mud though) and after I was done, of course, I put it in park, got out...

Sounds like something similar that happened to me a week or 2 back. Truck would run good for a while, but when it warmed up, it would stall out and die, then not want to start up much later, sometimes in 5 or 10 minutes it would start right up, then other times it would not start up for hours...

I thought it was ok to use 4 wheel drive on dry pavement just so long as you have it in 4H if you are driving at higher speeds(like say 20-25mph) or so), maybe hauling or towing something or maybe trying to get around on the snow, and I thought it wouldn't hurt it to be in 4L as long as you...

Well finally got it fixed, and you were right(mrfixit), it was not the one in the rear tank, because we checked the mid-frame pump w/ a pressure guage and it was reading very low, and hardly any gas came out of the line. So took the old one off, bought a new one, slapped it on, hooked all the...

Sterotypically speaking, most guys that have trucks w/ big tires on them do carry guns, wether laws promote or prohibit them under the seat. ;) Not saying that I do, but I know many in Iowa that do.andas far as being afraid to get my vehicles dirty, before I even thought about trucks, I had my...

Not for what I use 'em for, they ain't useless to me! In fact, bigger tires on trucks usually make your reputation grow pretty quick and good around here, not only that, but you can intimidate most anyone around here who doesn't have a truck that's jacked up w/ big tires, since most have late...

Now that's what a "real" truck is supposed to be like!YelloThumbUp I am a little more mellow though, as i'll settle for some 31's-35 inch tires anyday on a set of small(er) wheels. I don't care so much for the big tire/big wheel combo, though I do love big tire/small wheel on a truck. On a...

I don't know much about the other engines, but I do know I love the gas mileage I get with my 302. I never woulda thought before owning one that a V8 could get that kind of gas mileage, I was very skeptical at first. Even my grandfather's 04 Mustang GT with the 4.6 doesn't get as good gas...

Yeah I here ya on that man! I've seen for myself which one would be easier, but the one mounted on the frame is a bit more pricer, but hey, doesn't matter as long as we can find the one that isn't pumping, right!? Well, it is going back to the shop tomorrow though and I am making them do a...

It does but the only problem is, is that the front tank leaks bad in 3 spots, therefore it has been disconnected and plugged, no longer used, and now I just use the rear gas tank. According to the mechanics who have been performing all this work all along, say that they are pretty sure it's the...

Well changed the fuel filter, ran good for a little bit then started acting up again just like it did yesterday. I disconnected the fuel line, though, and it's barely pumping any fuel out, and it takes forever to crank any out when turning it over with the key:guns: Must be a fuel pump...
