I've got a 2000 v10 with a 5 speed stick. I've thought about installing this system, but before this video, I was up in the air if it's worth it. I've changed the plugs had my exhaust system fixed just to find out I have a exhaust manifold leak. As it warms up it gets better. But as the truck has just under 200k and for what a newer truck would cost. I've thought about the last few weeks I would rather fix this truck up and know what I have vs spending 15k or way more just yo buy a used truck with 150k if your lucky.

Hey man I see your using all team z stuff and I have a question. I also have an 89 with team z kmember and 12” solid a-arms running 96-04 straight spindles and strange coilovers. Should I be using longer a arms? I can get it within clearance on an alignment rack but should I be shooting for more camber over stock? I see your using the 13” adjustables, I really prefer solid but I wonder if 12” is way too short? I’m also ripping sway bar link tabs off the arms… 😅 thank you for your videos
@Gillettesgarage
@Gillettesgarage 4 ай бұрын
This video is two years old I ended up putting spindles and breaks from the 01 mustang I have sitting around. And eliminated the bump steer kit. I did end up adjusting the a arms to get the camber and caster set. But I don't know how close to stock a-arms ended up. I did go with whatever the stock setting were. I should note that this k member and whole drive train is now in a 93 notch color black. That I call the black stallion in the video names in newer videos, and I did a quick string alignment more recently on that video. With a,set up that pretty much identical to yours. I don't regret getting adjustable ones. But I don't drive mine on the street alot. I think they would hold up just fine tho.

Anybody watching this doing this yourself, couple things Get your ac system evacuated before you start. Just do it, or you'll be blessed with a blast of freon trying to cheat that passenger side line. Trust me, I know... The factory gaskets are great, just reuse them. Try and reuse as many head studs as possible and keep them oriented by the hole they came out of. When you put them back in, don't use copper antiseize, copper and aluminum together causes a certain galvanation, you'll never get em back out. Goes for spark plugs too definitely no copper antiseize. Use a small amount of graphite antiseize on the head studs and the bolts, and definitely on the 02 sensors and exhaust bolts, just everything lol You'll probably have to drop the k member, but not by much just about an inch. I had to for the set of LTH brands anyway. Use a MAP torch to heat any bolts you can't get undone most likely the factory cats, and then quench with pb blaster when hot. Do that a few times and should get them loosened. Use a plumbers heat mat to protect whatever is behind the bolts you're heating, they're like 5 dollars at home depot When you finish the job and you have any contact against the steering shaft(you will for sure with LTH brand headers) cheat the motor back over toward the passenger side a 1/4 inch. Remeber: the headers are going to expand a bit when they heat up, so if they're close to touching something cold, they probably will when hot If you are worried about getting 02 codes, buy some header wrap and metal zip ties on amazon. Wrap the header wrap around the collector and 02 bung a bit, the sensor is gonna run a bit cold with long tubes, the header wrap will help hold some heat by them and give you codes LESS FREQUENTLY. you're still getting codes no way around it. I'll update this if I can think of anything else, but God speed! Longtubes on these cars is sooo damn worth the trouble of putting them in! Get yourself a chiltons/haynes manual from autozone. They're 13 dollars and worth their weight in gold! They every single torque # and give you all the steps you need to handle literally everything you have to do on your car. They are so damn underrated.

Thanks for the well thought out comment. I appreciate it. I didn't have to drop the k member and I don't personally recommend doing that, it's wasn't necessary for me anyway. I used an engine bar from harbor freight to hold up the engine. I did however find a way to connect the passengers o2 sensor with out an extention wire. Cuz the plug is snapped to the transmission on the upper passengers side and if you're very careful and use the right hose removal hook you can get it down with out damaging it. There is slack in it after unmounting the plug. I used 18mm plug foulers to offset the o2 readings on the back and that worked ok, but didbthrow a code after wide open throttle. I did however have a slow injector I needed to fix, In the end I bought a program and turned that off myself. Injust wish I could turn off the low tire light in the ecu. But there's no switch for that. So I had to buy a gadget for it. I opted for new gaskets cuz wouldn't it totally suck to have to donit twice cuz I tried to save $30 reusing old gaskets.

I plan to use it on all my racecars, my mustangs that I have aftermarket suspension. Which is 3 cars. This is the best option i have found, Because the kids literally kids that work at alignment shops, they only know how to do alignment on stock suspension where a computer tells them basically what to do. If you have aftermarket stuff like I do, you will hear that we did the best we could but couldn't get it. And you will be thinking well everything on the car is adjustable. The A- arms adjust the coil overs adjust. They just don't know how. So after wasting a couple hundred dollars at a couple of different shops, I found this kit and does work.

Thank you for this series of videos! I am planning to drop my oil pan from my 5.4 2V which is basically the same engine and headaches, just 2 cylinders less, and the experience you've shared will help me along when I get to that. I bought the manual from eManualOnline which is the actual Ford manuals they used for that year. In it, it says you have to prop the engine from above to remove the cross-member below, so I got 1 from Harbor Freight for $85. Question, did you get the same sized bearings, or did your kit come with the thicker bearings? My F250 just stared rod knocking, maybe even quieter than yours, so it would be helpful to know if you had to use the thicker bearings or not.
@Gillettesgarage
@Gillettesgarage 8 ай бұрын
I put stock bearing back in I didn't plasti gauge more than one. The crank didn't have any damage. The old bearings were same size as the new and looked good. I determined that it wasn't a bearing but since I was there I changed them all anyway. I needed to buy two bars from harbor freight and bolt them together to make the span. I decided that it either the balance shaft on the drivers side head or its a flex plate or torque converter issue. Or it could be the cheap cheap headers I installed. Once I found out it wasn't the main or rod bearings. And that if it's the balancer I would need a new head. If it's the converter or flex plate I'm in no hurry to fix that. I eliminated the lifters and rockers and bearings and blown out spark plugs. I suppose it could be a blown head gasket as well but it's not missfireing anymore so I can say it's probably not that. When you pull off the valve covers look down at the timing chain tensioner too. Good luck with your search.

Have you made any progress? I'm working my way into a 99 F250 with 130k. So far, I change all the plugs and gapped them to 0.054 from the 0.061 that came out the box. Pulled the throttle body to clean out all carbon, changed the EGR and IAC valves, and doing that solved my vacuum leaks back there. Changed out 2 coils and next will be pulling the valve covers to inspect the lifters and rockers. Also will look at the timing chains and gears. Also will investigate any exhaust manifold leaks I have Seafoam in the oil now and will change oil and filter in 50 more miles. Just trying to update where possible while working my way through known flaws and ruling things out.

Where was the green wire with black stripe coming from that you hooked ignition switched source to?
@Gillettesgarage
@Gillettesgarage 10 ай бұрын
I believe it goes to the alt light in the dash and that wire is in one of the dash harness plugs next to the brake booster and master cylinder. You can put the green and black wire on any switched source if you get a 500 ohm resistor. the green and black wire goes into the dash, to the idiot light which is the resistor. So that green with black wire goes from the alt to the dash light which is a switched source. Black and orange goes to the solenoid next to the battery. The white one loops back to the alt. The yellow wire I put to a switched 12 source in a separate location not connected to the black and orange wire. I a found that a separate switch 12v source for the yellow wire that i had connected to the positive terminal on the back of the alt. Helps the regulator see a difference in voltage. Honestly though the easiest thing to do and what I did on my race car, was just buy a one wire alternator with 150 amps. You literally mount that and put the one 4 awg wire from the alt to the battery and it's done. There is provisions to run a wire to the idiot light if wanted.

Hate to see all the work you put into it and still have a tick. My v10 also had a noise at light throttle that sounded like a rod knock but would come and go. I did timing chains, oil pump and inspected valvetrain. Still had the knock/clatter. I too said i would drive it til it blows up. Fathers day it finally blew up about 50 minutes into a 1hr drive and lost oil pressure. On camera it sure sounded like yours was a rod knock, but bearings looked fine. Curious what yours could be.
