@Robert LaPointe Why does Ford and GM have exponentially more wins in Nascar, Nastruck, NHRA, off road truck racing, ect? Is because Dodge feels SOOOOOO bad for Ford and GM that they let them win time and time again? Oh yeah, aren't they owned by Fiat now? One of the worst reliability ratings an auto manufacturer can get!

My first car was a black 94 lightning. I absolutely loved that truck. One day while I was driving and minding my own business, I was hit by a driver who ran a red light. Totaled the truck, but I walked without a scratch. I parted the truck out and now the drivetrain is in a Country Squire Wagon somewhere in Michigan and the body panels that were still good went to fix another lightning. Hopefully one day I’ll drive one again.

@jeffscott3160
@jeffscott3160 5 лет назад
The poor horsepower/torque specs were not due to GM's design, but directly due to EPA regulators. The engineering knowledge base and technology simply was not up to the level of what the EPA was mandating at the time. Kinda like when they first started mandating EGR and DPF's on diesel trucks. They were horrible when first introduced. While they still aren't a perfect system, they have gotten better and will continue to do so as the technology advances. They should have compared a '93 SS with the '94 Lightning though. Much better comparison as most all trucks get better and better every few years. It doesn't make sense to compare a truck that is 4 years older than the one your comparing it too. Might as well compare a brand new Civic R to a 1978 Camaro. Complete waste of time by these two morons!

GM TBI from '88-95 were junk. Run forever and start right up but NOT even close to performance engines, not even a decent platform. I had a '94 GMC Sierra K1500 4x4 with TBI 350, lifted with 35s. A guy I worked with had a heavier Chevy Tahoe, 1996 K1500 with Vortec 350, same lift, same size tires and he would smoke me every time. Nice truck, clean, cool body style but no power. Now a days you can get those LS3 E-Rod crate engines designed to pass CA emission/smog and have 400+ horsepower.

@srvanddt1 5 лет назад
Very true. TBI trucks absolutely suck for any kind of performance. Besides, Ford did a way better job in matching parts. All Chevy did was take the big block from the 1 ton and put it in a half ton. It is the same engine out of the 1 ton.

Gm's TBI was rock solid, well designed, and one of the first of it's kind. They were (back then anyway) trying to make the most dependable truck you could by.. and one of the reasons GMT400 trucks are one of the best Chevy Truck runs in history.

Back in 2010 I bought a used 1994 F150 Lightning for $4,500 I put about $1,500 into the truck. New rear tires, new shocks , new parking brake cabel, new Lightning Decals, new plugs , wires, rotor and cap, new vale cover gasket, bought a complete used Bassani equal length shorter headers exhaust system. Had the headers power coated black. Recondition the engine bay and some engine components, new radiator, sway bar links. Went to the auto recycling to get a decent radiator core support to recondition ( the one in the truck was rotten at the bottom) a completed jack and a better coolant/windshield washer tank, new fog lamps, new rubber channels for the door windows. It was a fun truck that got about 10 miles to a gallon of gas. Sold the truck in fall of 2012 for the same amount that I bought it for.

A friend of mine had a red Lightening just like this one,he did some mods on it including a Paxton Supercharger which made it a real drag racing machine,the only other truck that could touch him at the local track was a Dodge RumbleBee. One of them would win one week and the other the next week. Both of them would run the quarter mile in the mid to high 13 second range. That Lightening would plant you in the seat at wide open throttle

I have taken off all the chrome (mirrors, grille, bumpers) and put on the 454 SS mirrors, color matched front bumper, roll pan in the rear, took off the emblems and rubber trim. Just painted it all fresh dark gray last summer. Needs a drop and some wheels now. It has no cats, EGR delete, K&N filter, injector pod spacer, Hypertech "salad bowl", 3" flowmaster 40 series dumped, B&M shift kit (chirps second easily), timing advanced at the distributor, 180 degree t-stat, and electric fan.

To get those numbers I installed aJohhny Lighnting 8 lb lower pulley with belt, 92mm throttle body, an Anderson Motorsports Cold air kit, K&N air filter, Yellow top Optima battery, a transmission shift kit, a superchips chip with multiple programs that were fine tuned on the dyno and tweaked after drag strip runs, replaced the factory mufflers with Spintech mufflers and a Cervini fiberglass (functional) Ram Air hood.
