Bearings go bad in superchargers just like turbos,,, $3,000 turbos$6,000 superchargers,,, when the impeller goes or the screw goes and it touches the cases,,, !!! Replace the bearings in both way early,,,!!!!

I Purchased a 2002 SVT last year for 28,000 in Florida. It was a show truck and hadn't seen the sun in over 14 years. Everything is orginal down to the headlight bulbs. It has a little over 62,000 miles on it, Original pristine paint job, the underneath and engine look like the truck was never started and never was driven. I inspected it from head to toe for rust and there wasn't even the smallest sign of any. I'm very proud of this truck and It is worth every penny. It is my dream Truck and I searched for 5 years to find the right one.

I bought an 01’ Lightning in 2005, and have rack up over 220K Miles on it. Running a mild tune. Awesome truck and the transmission is bulletproof. I think the toughest transmission out there 4R100M still shifts hard under heavy load.

@3500camarz 2 года назад

I'm surprised, I also have an 01 Ford Lightning and in 2001 there was a huge recall on the J model transmissions failing. Something about Ford trying to save money installing a mechanical solenoid I believe.

Awesome truck! I'm so glad to see one without too many mods. A guy in my neighborhood has one, but he painted it orange, put dopey 20" wheels on it, and installed an obnoxious exhaust. There are plenty of F150s out there to modify, if that's what your into. But I really like to see these rather unique trucks staying true to form. Good job!!

@rays7437 5 лет назад

The first time I drove one of these I didn't know what it was. I thought it was just lowered. I was road testing a customer's truck, trying to reproduce a noise complaint. I drove it and never heard an unusual sound. I called the customer who told me to take it on the highway and "get on it." So I did. I put the pedal to the floor, the tires screamed and my head snapped back and the truck launched like a rocket. Hurt my neck and scared the hell out of me. LOL. Anyway I was able to reproduce the horrible noise underneath that the customer complained of. We picked up the truck, checked the drive line and everything underneath. I called customer again and he said he'd been to 2 other shops and they couldn't find the problem either. So I got a different technician and we took it out and it made the horrible noise again. The tech said "I don't hear any noise under the truck, but what is banging on the roof?" Turns out the windshield rubber seal would pop out at highway speeds and flop all over the roof but would go back in place when the truck slowed down. After we resealed the windshield the noise was gone. I told the customer what happened to me the first time I put the pedal down and he just laughed at me. I was brand new to Ford at that time and didn't know what a Lightning was until then. I wish I had one

I've also got a stock, black, 2001 Lightning with 102k miles. Love every bit of it. It's amazing how everybody says mannnnn nice truck I love these things. I live in Indiana but don't drive it in the winter. My dad and I drove all the down to NC and picked it up. I'm so greatful for being lucky enough to own one at 16. Purchased it at 15. I'm currently paying it off by towing a small lawn mowing trailer around my area and mowing. Trying my hardest to keep it clean, good condition, and stock. She has no rust except for some by the radiator. Im guessing its because the previous owner always took it to jiffy lube type shops and they didnt care where the coolant splashed and it ate away the paint. I do all work on it pretty much no matter what. Let me tell ya, it's a bitch to do anything to it in the engine bay. Everything is so damn close. Always been garage kept and still is! Great condition and hope to pay it off this summer and will start to save up for a 2003-2004 cobra. I totally reccomend getting one of these trucks but look out for rock chips. Mine has them bad and they pop up like chicken pocks. I will probably repaint it black some time.

No actually most of us that hate these trucks are because they are usually found registered to some jackass(although this dude seems cool) that will brag and say things like, it's faster than a viper, and blah blah blah. I had a local with one that wanted to fight after 3 runs and three straight losses against my '70 Mach 1. He begged me to run, all I was doing was cruising. It's douche asshats that give certain vehicles a bad stereo type. Same thing with Miata. It's all about taste, and at the end of the day I love Scotty's vids but I am no fan of a lightning. Hell, I'm not a Celica fan or any type of Toyota, save for the Supra, but I still respect and appreciate Scotty's opinion and admiration of them. But I also wouldn't disprespect him by disliking one of his videos either.

Great video! I've had my 2000 lightning since 2012. Production number 144 out of 4,966 in 00. Some people hate the 4r100 trans because it's a auto but if you know how to drive it and keep the od gear off while in town and never do a wot run from 3rd to 4th or a 4th to 2nd down shift wot run it will last forever! 4th od gear is a weak link in those trans and a 4th to second is brutal on sinter forged allow connecting rods and those were the real weak link in these trucks... vented blocks are real common on the 99-04 lightnings. I got my lightning for $9,500 back in 2012 with only 60k miles. It has 106,000 miles now and I daily drove up until February this year when I got my 2016 mustang gt premium. Now it's a garage queen being I love to drive my new mustang every damn day now! Plus the value of these damn trucks have gone through the roof!! I can't believe my 2000 is bluebook value at 15k in good condition with the milage it has also. I drove it everyday and put on the mileage and the value just went up on it. Mine was in horrible condition when I first got it but over the years I have found parts at junk yards and Craigslist and have been slowly restoring it back to its natural beauty. Don't plan on selling it any time soon and plan on taking it to every car show I can again this summer!

@rickyricardo8363 6 лет назад

chpjimmy I have a silver 2000. #4083. Also have just about 106K on it, 105567 to be exact. Bought mine in 2010 for 10,500. It's modded slightly. It lives on with 528/623 at the rear wheels. Habit of mine to turn OD off when I start it. Only OD on if I get on the highway where I feather foot it. Runs great. I love it and will never sell. Value is higher now than when I bought it. Had several offers highest was 16,500 last month. Nothing I can think of that I would want to replace it with. Mustangs are a dime a dozen and everywhere. I've seen maybe 4 lightnings on the road in the 8 years I've owned it. It's a keeper. 👍

No one has forgotten how shitty they handled compared to the Lightning either. And how they had to take the engine from their prized performance car and cram it in a truck just to be faster lol

@@daywlkr_svt Not to mention that regardless of "official" numbers, real world races proved the Dodge was only faster on top end. 0-60 and 1/4 mile races (the performance most of us care about primarily) went to the Lightning.

These are really fun trucks to drive as the super charger noise makes it hard to keep your foot from being heavy. The biggest issue with these is the spark plugs blowing out of the head.

My first car was an F150. Not an SVT, but it had a triton V8 under the hood. Having a V8 at the age of 18 was great, and it ran like a charm. Only problem I really had was when you left it alone for too long, the battery would die out. Would've loved to take it around & go dashcamming with it, but my parents sold it before I could get the opportunity : (

JJD Like I said in my original post. My car looks all stock. Anyone who knows what they’re looking at will notice the Type R intake manifold in my thumbnail and understand what I’m saying. Along with the drivetrain overhauled at World Famous Schmidt Auto here in Indianapolis. It’s a 94 EH9 and the 94 EH9 is one of the most rare model 4 door Civics you could get along with all the options. The power to weight of my car vs this SVT F150 would be a great race actually. But just going off of your tone on how your started your post, your comprehension and Ford rage is showing. Have a seat, you probably type standing up and angry and cussing

@jalee6587 6 лет назад

361hp wheel. How did you come up with 450crank hp. Theres no accurate way to correlate the two as you may have put down 361whp on a dynojet while you take it to a mustang loaded dyno and you may make more like 300 whp. If you were on a dynojet when you made 361whp you can bet thats pretty close to a crank reading as they are unloaded and make very inflated numbers. How did ford advertise 380hp did they underrate it that much that it actually had 450hp? You said you kept the truck bone stock? I can see a 70hp increase with maybe a pulley , tune and exhaust bolt ons.

@ericknight9806 6 лет назад

I have the dyno sheets if you would like to see them.

@jalee6587 6 лет назад

Eric Knight im saying you cant accurately correlate the wheel to crank . Especially since dynojet numbers are typically much higher than mustang dyno numbers. What matters more is using it as a tool to determine what you gained on the same dyno same day before during and after a tune.

You are absolutely correct. These trucks don't do so well from a roll but they are monsters when you punch the gas from a dig.

@SG-wj2qj 6 лет назад

strumpeteer it's simply too heavy for it's own weight. With a Curb weight of 4700lbs it's simply a tank on wheels. Adding to the fact that ford Auto trans are inefficient power robbing slugs it's to no surprise it appears to be slow. (Decently quick for what it was/is back in 2001) statistically it can do 5.8 seconds to 60mph...but it'll never hook as good as ford did when they set the bench mark... any you'd be lucky to break 6 seconds to 60 and into the 14s in the 1/4 mile. The problem allot of people had with this truck is... They thought they bought a hot Rod but ended up frustrated when 2001 VW Golf GTI gave them a run for their money.
