    Burning through starter solenoids, help!

    No, that only happened once, and I smacked it and went back to acting right for a couple hours before it completely gave out. I don't understand how it's completely killing a battery when they do randomly decide to burn up. Twice now it's killed two of the best battery on the market. I'm...

    Burning through starter solenoids, help!

    I had one stay shut before it went out later that day, I gave it a tap and it cut off and acted right. I'm gonna take a look over all the wires again and see if I missed anything.

    Burning through starter solenoids, help!

    I recently purchased a 79 bronco with a 460 swapped in, she runs like a champ, but I've had it a week and gone thru 4 starter solenoids and replaced a brand new optima red top battery. The starter is new, alternator is new, and all wiring to/from them is new. It all appears to be wired correctly...

    Total restoration time, input would be great.

    Update: engine and trans are coming out this weekend a 408 stroker will be in build process next week, going with a beefy c6 with a 2400-2800 stall, expecting 500 hp from the stroker. Looking at a month build time on the motor, adding a few days to build and install a tranny, during the down...

    Total restoration time, input would be great.

    Not much highway cruising, and I apologize I neglected to mention it is 2wd. Monster transmission has the c6 I was looking at. My rear end is factory original, I'd guess and say a 8.8 ls. There's a good chance I'll swap it out for a 9", I've always heard the AOD trans to be unreliable and...

    Total restoration time, input would be great.

    It's been a good long while since I've visited the site, I know, I've been slacking and I apologize. My 84' has sat for a few years and she's about to get a complete make over, I've got $15k budgeted for the build and my goal is for her to be back up again in early January. I unfortunately won't...

    Tires on my 2wd 2012 xlt Screw

    I've got a chance to pick up a set of 295/70r17's for a swinging deal, and was curious how they will fit on a factory 2012 f150 xlt crew cab, on the factory 17" rim, currently wrapped in 255/65r17s. Thoughts, gentlemen?

    an exellent result in boredom and some paint

    i got to looking at a fx4 my friend has and decided i really liked his badges all black and red, so i went home and popped mine off for a little custom work, i like the subtle touch it adds to the truck[/url][/IMG]

    cel on my '12 5.0

    ive had a c.e.l. on my 2012 f150 5.0 and the code is 0430 if i remember right, auto zone scanner said it was a cat malfunction low bank 2 i think, i have a flowmaster super 44 dumped just before the rear end but the light came on before the exhaust was done. my question is 1. even thogh my...

    black tailgate and grille badges??

    i thought it would be a nice touch that i havent seen anyone around here with.. i want to set my truck apart from all the other new bodies running around. if i did try and seperate the badges i would buy new ones to do it with... just in case it doesnt come out right. bigred911, so youve just...

    Nice short box

    i wished they offered higher trim packages in single cab, they usually keep them pretty basic its seemed the past few years stx and xl is about all ive seen in single cab with the base v6 and a couple 5.0 i think... but i doubt they would offer an eb and almost definately not a 6.2... id love to...

    Is the Ford Raptor Overpriced?

    either way i still slobber everytime i see a new 2013 at my local dealer(s)....they didnt have one on the lot at the time i was looking... or i might have gone on an impulse and grabbed it... they had a hd edition or two.... but im not much of a fan of harley badges and stickers every where.. im...

    Is the Ford Raptor Overpriced?

    theyre a little high priced for what you get, i would love to have one dont get me wrong but id be much more influenced to get one if it were closer to the lariat pricetag

    sync issues

    has anyone had any issues with their sync system getting stuck saying "indexing, or indexing please wait" when it is connecting to your ipad/ ipod via usb? this has been happening lately with my ipad but it worked fine from may until a couple weeks ago. ive reset my ipad as well as a master...

    Front bumper

    i would assume it to be there already, if you find a bumper try to find one with the lights and wiring already in it. it would make the most sense to have the fog lamps connect to the main harness by some sort of plug... but then again that might make too much sense, i can go take a look under...
