Austin's 1995 F-150

[Austin]

Ben, rest assured that if I shell out over a grand for tires I'm keeping this thing for a minute! I'm actually preparing for a weekend of paint correction and cleaning up a few things... the beauty is that there really isn't a whole lot of 'work' needed - this truck was truly kept up with.

That said, I've killed both tanks of gas since last Friday and have no way of tracking fuel economy. Can anybody steer me as to how I should go about getting the speedo back in sync?

VSS in rear end needs to be changed out for tire size.. I don't know the different ones.. Stock is blue though..

Yeah, I saw that on Dr. Oz one day..........Buyerssellers syndrome. Guess it can get pretty ugly.

Also known as OCVD or ADVD...

Yup. Used to have the same condition. Caused me to sell a lot of cars (and a few trucks) that I wouldn't mind owning today. But of all the cars and trucks that have passed through my hands, this one irritates me the most.

'69 Dodge Charger SE, and a very rare high option car. Had a 383 4BBL, Auto, and just about every available option right down to the factory AM/FM radio, PW, leather, and A/C. 17,000 actual, one owner miles when I bought it in '78. Sold it for a good profit in '79.

*Arguably one of the prettiest cars of it's kind at the time, definitely the best handling, and Mopar was taking Ford and GM to school in powertrain design.

Wow.......

I know nothing about the speedo, except they help support you when you're swimming and can be embarrassing to some at the beach, but you can use your gps on your phone or a garmin to track gas mileage...at least on one solid tank.

Boy that `s a sharp truck. And also, what Matt said.

 

[5.0Flareside]

Thanks Ken!

Get a real exhaust on there Austin!

Your suggestion, sir?

 

[Austin]

Buncha not likin straight piped truck pansies! (I've been hanging out with Karl)

It still has cats... not terribly loud. Doesn't sound like an exhaust leak.

 

[primetime]

I`d throw some tail pipes on it for the short term while I gathered up headers, x pipe, and mufflers (partial to Flowmaster 10s myself).

 

[BuzzGun79]

For now I would bring the exhaust back and exit it in front of the rear tire Austin..get those fumes away from underneath the vehicle..

 

[aussie_f350]

Dumped pipes FTW! How about a sound clip?

 

[SuperCab]

That's not even legal in a lot of states. At the very least dump it in front of the rear wheels. And put a muffler on it!

 

[LEB Ben]

Buncha haterade drinkers up in here. I think my next exhaust on the Bronco is going to be the off header cherrybomb dumps.

Not legal in Montana(and we usually don't care WHAT people do to their vehicles) The pipes have to exit behind the rear of the cab - for safety reasons.

I'm not bashin', I'm just sayin'!
