The last few days there has been a puddle under my drivers side door (97 F250 with a 7.5 460). Its puddling on the chasis and I am unable tell where its coming from. There are two flex loom coated lines of some sort and the lower one appears it may be leaking. On the other hand it could be wet...

I've been thinking about it for over a year and decided its time. Before I go through with it I have some questions for you guys. I have decided to use one of Flowmaster's universal 3" pipe kits to start off. I am doing a single out system and will be using a Super 40 Muffler. I want to use...

It has been done. Gave her a fresh wax job in September. Trying a new additive this year called Star-Tron that a friend recommended. Just have to mouse and critter proof it and hook up the battery charger.More power upgrades planned for some winter projects. Also new wheels and headlights to...

Found this online. Neat 1988 Bronco from the Mass. State Police. I've heard they used a few of them throughout the 90's in fleet services.

Hello everyone!I've been doing some reading on increasing power output from a 460 and came across some information that suggested removing a restrictor in the air intake system to assist with power gains. Would this benefit with a higher volume of air flow? Also, how do you go about removing...

Hey guys! I am planning on purchasing another truck in the near future and making it my winter driver/worker. I want to wire up a light bar and some flashers on the grill, bumper, and on whatever headache rack I decide to throw on it. So 1 LED bar and 12 LED markers total. I want to have an...

Hope all is well with everyone! As I mentioned in the clowns thread my schedule has changed and now I got a tad bit more free time. Glad to be back, and even though I was busy as hell I still made time to detail and clean the 460. Just waxed it last weekend. Trying a new wax too, Mother's...

Hey guys, going to be doing my own oil changes now. I have a general idea of how they are done. Can someone instruct me on the proper way? Should I change the oil filter as well? Where can I dispose of used oil? How much will I need for my engine?Many thanks!

In addition to taking it out of storage, got that noise problem fixed with the help of my neighbor. That's his '95 F150 on the left.

Hey guys,Probably going to spend my tax return on a pair of headers. Looking to get close to that 300HP mark. I'm looking at some stuff on Summit Racing and I noticed there are different lengths as well as types (comp, street). What is appropriate for a 97 7.5L 460? Also, the cat back...

Alrighty here we go!Gather your materials! Here's the list for this specific project (Some items not shown):- Measuring Tape - Drill with appropriate bits - Marker - Pliers or Crimper - Wire Strippers - Appropriate Wire (Today we are using 18 gauge) - Connectors (Posi-Taps) - Insulated...

Hey guys,I was wondering if it is safe/up to code to use two fuse taps on one fuse slot. With my running board re wire I was thinking of doing this. The total draw for both taps would be around 1.2 amps, so not huge. What say you?

Hey there Duncan,Im looking to upgrade my switches and organize my wires a little differently. I will make a diagram of what I have now and post it later this afternoon. I have a total of eighteen 12V LED markers I want to wire into a nice switch panel that I can mount to the dashboard as...

Hey guys, hope you're having a great holiday season so far. I'm in need of some wheel spacers for my stock 8 lugs. Any suggestions on what manufacturer/type?Thanks!

Did the rust cleaning and undercoating as well as fuel additive today. :D

Well it didnt make a sound on my two hour drive to New Hampshire and now that squeak is back and even worse. I think its the brake dust shields and my dads mechanic agrees. Now i can be driving straight and if the road is slightly uneven it will cause a constant squeak. Its driving me up a...

Threw this on myself yesterday, I can definitely feel and hear the difference in acceleration! Its amazing how restrictive the stock filter was, its literally a flat piece encased in a plastic box. This is K&N's high performance Aircharger model, fits great and yes I just finished cleaning out...

Hey guys,I noticed a rough idle when I get to work and after I come home from work. Its a slight clunking kind of noise, not too loud but I wanna fix it. It only happens when I'm in drive and drive for a little bit and stop. Any ideas?

Hey guys! For the past month or so I have been getting this noise coming from the area of the driver's side wheel whenever I turn my wheel to the left. It also can be heard when I go over a bump for the duration of the bump. It has been getting progressively worse (louder and nastier sounding)...

Me and my dad just finished installing this. Stainless steel (85 pounds of it, all made in Texas :flag: ) headache rack, wanted something to protect it when I run my CB antenna wire out the back and when I load stuff (on very rare occasions :D). I love the look, its like an old school tank!

Used to be owned by my current boss (small world huh?) and bought by a family friend. 1996 or 97 F350 XLT Powerstroke, love the factory tan as you don't see too many in that color. It is absolutely immaculate and the new owner keeps it in great shape too.

Hey guys, it's been almost a month since I've logged in. Picked up some full time work since graduation and have been super busy.Parked the 460 out front today with the flag, also had a chance to clay bar it, and then me and my uncle used a random orbital to polish and wax it two Sunday's...

Hey guys, been a few weeks since I've logged on. It's hot as hell up in New England, today and the past few days have been humid in the low 90's. Here's some new shots in the sunlight for ya! smilieFordlogo

Got Griot's Clay and Speed Shine kit. You can see and feel the difference! smilieFordlogo First picture is after the clay bar, the next two are after I waxed it after the clay

1995 F350 Powerstroke, Centurion crew cab conversion! It was sooo clean! 169K Miles, three diesel fuel tanks, original custom paint. I talked to the owner (turns out he lives just over a mile away from me) for a while, he bought it for $15,000 in 2000. The interior is phenomenal, leather seats...

Up for sale are the Ford mudflaps I took off my 1997 F-250 HD when I bought it so I could fit 33's. smilieFordlogo They are dusty in the picture, but will be cleaned up very nicely before shipping. Overall condition for these would be 8.5/10.Asking $30

Got a chance to clean and detail! Unfortunately, some minor rust repair will have to be done above the drivers side bed panel. Nothing some sandpaper, rustoleum, and wax can't put off for a few more winters smilieFordlogo

Hey guys,I have those funky looking 9th gen standard mirrors and am thinking of an upgrade, I really like the look of the 5th generation f series tow mirrors.Does anyone make that style of mirror that would make for a relatively simple swap? Are there any that would fit in the existing...

Evening guys,I needed a jumpstart to get home from school yesterday evening. When I tried to start, the battery light came on so I thought it would just be that. However, on each attempt, the engine (7.5 460 V8) sounded like it wanted to turn over and at the last second with some gas it would...

Anyone ever run the Humvee tires (Goodyear MTRs)? Also there are still a lot of surplus Goodyear OZ military tires out there as well. How do they perform in winter weather? Thanks!
