This was the toughest vehicle to figure out that I have ever owned. After 2 mechanics gave up on it, one finally was able to figure out the issue! Im glad it is finally running one year later!

Glad to see you got it running right and back to its glory days! I have an 03 Sonice Blue one that I absolutely love. So much fun to drive these trucks!

@WestonMooreTheCarDealer 4 года назад

Right! I love it!!

@rnrjunkie724 4 года назад

Glad you figured it out! And I hope the engine builder reimbursed you for the additional diagnostic and repair costs.

@svttohken989 4 года назад

Nice finally ! Can’t wait for you to post more of your lightning now that is fixed 😎

@gavanlee 4 года назад

I like this truck very much! I currently have the same year and body style but it's just the heritage standard v6. Blast to drive! If I ever have trouble with the engine I was thinking about dropping an eco boost in there! That would be a fun youtube video to document! 🤘🏻

@chich2744 4 года назад

The cylinder heads on the 2004 have full threads ,not like previous years with half the threads for the spark plugs

@markm.9968 4 года назад

True. 99-02 had the 3/4 thread heads. 03-04 were upgraded to the 7/8 thread heads.

@3500camarz 2 года назад

03 and 04 models don’t shoot out the spark plugs because they come from the factory with the revised eight thread cylinder heads

@chich2744 2 года назад

A little information for you. The 2004 Ford Lightning cylinder heads have 8 thread spark plug holes.

@cjcox1480 4 года назад

Take the upper pulley off and just run the 4lb lower pulley. Nice tune and good to go.

@nyplantings2420 5 месяцев назад

The 6lb is very good too. The upper pulley really isn't a great idea.

@cjcox1480 4 года назад

03-04 trucks came with 8 thread heads. That’s why they’re so sought after.

@AF_1892 4 года назад

Waited on the list in the Houston area for a red 03. Almost caved a few months later for an 04 sonic blue. So glad I waited. Rip roarded the thing through sugarland w a 250lbs African American salesman gripping the oh crap handle. Gas prices were $3.65 for crap 89 gas. Now almost 20 years later gas is cheaper.

@WestonMooreTheCarDealer 4 года назад

180 out!

@cjcox1480 4 года назад

Damn 180 degrees off and it didn’t kiss a piston... please explain.

@B_e_n_B_r_e_w_e_r_18 3 года назад

Bro you already had 8 thread count heads and put the motorcraft packs back on and belt slippage comes from a smaller upper. Just put a 4lb lower amd a metco idler bracket to take care of the belt slippage!

Probably a couple! Have to get it tuned!

@adriangallegos5042 2 года назад

What you recommend me

@3500camarz 11 месяцев назад

You wasted your money on those expensive trickflow heads if you bought them mainly for the spark plug holes with more threads because 03/04 came revised with 8 threads. Also, I doubt you would make 450 rwhp with just an upper pulley and heads. If you increased the boost some more with a lower pulley then I could see 450 happening.

@stevenhanna6973 3 года назад

Nice

@3500camarz 2 года назад

Hope you stayed out of the boost until you got it tuned. That’s one very quick way to ruin a rebuilt motor by failing to tune the truck the same time you increase boost.

@AF_1892 4 года назад

03 red total factory. Dude I am so sorry about your situation. My guess is abuse by a previous owner. I have to stop listening to the mods it gives me a headache.

30 seconds in I want to puke. This truck's interior is God awful. The engine? No thanks pass! Edit girl owner of a red stock 03 Lightning . Got me out of hurricanes, owned anything challenging me to a street race asids from a modified Challenger SS with crazy mods. This vehicle was the best purchase ever. Will only sell from my cold dead hands. Only downside is the weight/sound insulation for the insane sound system. The alternator in the truck can take a serious beating.

Im in germany and i got a silver one from the year 2000. Noone here in germany knows jack about american cars and engines and noone can help me with my problems of it running poorly. Seems to have not all of its power and a ton of oil spills out the airfilter (i assume from the pcv system) which also leads to smoking out the exhaust and its kinda ticking in high revs. Already replaced ALL the smaller easy to reach parts like you did but nothing helps. just wish someone would buy it from me because i cant afford that dream anymore :( really desperate, idk what to do... wanna come to Germany and help me find a solution xD? If anyone’s interested in the truck please let me know!

@AF_1892 4 года назад

Oh Lord congrats on getting one of these gems. I'm in the US. Since 03 its fun or a curse but most Ford mechanics panic if I ask if they can flush transmission or change a coil on plug. How you maintain this vehicle in Germany, hats off to you. You have to maintain it yourself. Compared to BMWs, in the US good luck w maint., you better learn that engine. w the L even a girl can scare ppl in just casual traffic with rhe power. Most Ford guys are scared if I pull in for service. Better to ask in advance, can someone work on them? Anyone gets flustered get the Hell out. Read your full post and oh my God your poor baby has been abused! On behalf of the Lightning community your story is disturbing. My precious red rocket is invaluable. Zero mods at least 141mph. No helmet over 135mph gets sketchy. I wish I could magically be in Germany and fix your very abused truck.

@abimaelpatino7892 4 года назад

Hi. You can do cahtcan oil . And eliminating. The rear Turkey pan hose .plugging that it will eliminate. That oil on your trodlle..sistem,,.I purchased from Harbor freight tools Air compressor filter.paid 13dlls .work for me. Or you can paid $120 .00 for ford racing.. believe me it's just the brand.they work the same ..also check any air lines that leeks I did all mi hoses whit clamps. . 0 👌leeks.

@abimaelpatino7892 4 года назад

Good luck.. don't get desperate. I been working on my truck for 6 months almost done. Just waiting for dual fuel pumps. injectors and sct 2600 mos air sensor..and dyno...good luck best wishes ✌✌✌👍

@TheGuyWhoDidUrM0M 4 года назад

oil spilling outta the airfilter? in large quantities? check the exhaust, , , friend of mine had too much backpressure because of a clogged exhaust that the car(supercharged mustang) was spitting oil out the intake.
