1993 Ford SVT Lightning POV Drive 4k

[@LostInPhilly89]

Thank you for owning and driving one of these trucks with a REAL transmission!

[@timeisnow4116]

I can only imagine the potential these motors have.

[@Terminxman]

I love the small block Ford, and almost all Ford engines, you could definitely make it breathe a lot better than they did from the factory in these but they are limited to a point just because of the block strength.

[@davidhenry916]

This thing idles pretty high.

[@TubsNSkins]

I have the exact same shift knob on my 88 f150. And that is where the similarities end. I'd kill for that truck, my man.

[@MM_405]

Better yet no lightning came with a Manuel transmission plus several other things in the cab are not Lightning this is NO LIGHTNING but a fake copy cat.

[@TubsNSkins]

@@MM_405 He said that he swapped the transmission to a manual in another comment.

[@CarsFoodWeed]

@@MM_405 So what's missing from my truck Mr. Lightning Expert? go ahead and school me. I don't see any videos of your truck on your channel.

[@jegr3398]

Ahh yes the old Ford power steering whine haha... My 89 F350 whines a bit as well.

[@CarsFoodWeed]

I've read that the saginaw pump is supposed to be a good upgrade

[@lukej3266]

@@CarsFoodWeed yep. You can get those out of the e150 vans.

[@Terminxman]

may run fine like that for another 100k miles, you never know. It's basically normal for them

[@themanwithoutaplan]

So from what I can tell, it's less to do with the pump, and more to do with line fittings weeping and getting a little low on fluid. The one in my 93 f150 leaks a hair, and will start to whine when it gets low, but shuts right up once you top it off. I swapped OEM foxbody ones in my Econoline and ranger, and no issues there.

[@watupchief5889]

Love the truck especially since it’s a manual that’s Awesome 👍🏽

[@pallidandancer9623]

Love the manual swapped SVT lighting. Would love to own one myself. Guess Ill stick with my regular 5 speed swapped 351 F150

[@CarsFoodWeed]

The regular ones are also great trucks

[@See-LawSon.313]

Lol my 93 rangers door panels were making the same noise I ran a self tapper through em 😂

[@mattleonard5268]

That truck sounds good

[@CarsFoodWeed]

@@mattleonard5268 Thanks

[@ROD852]

There is one thing we agree on........I love Cars......Food......and Weed!

[@CarsFoodWeed]

THIS MAN GETS IT

[@lowesguy72887]

Did you have to do any ecm stuff to do the swap since it was previously automatic?

[@lowesguy72887]

Also would love to see the overview video if you have time

[@CarsFoodWeed]

I swapped to a manual transmission harness so I could get my reverse lights working. It still has the stock ecm so the idle hangs sometimes, but it's not really a problem while driving.

[@lifebehindalens1233]

Badass truck man 🙏🏼

[@BigBoyz33]

Sounds great man

[@CarsFoodWeed]

Thanks

[@antonior2944]

1st gen lightnings did not come manual from the factory. Please explain

[@morresortiz]

Exactly lol

[@CarsFoodWeed]

It's been swapped over to an M5OD R2

[@antonior2944]

Cars Food Weed Oh sweet 👌🏼. Was it difficult to do the swap? Mine still has the E4OD in it

[@CarsFoodWeed]

@@antonior2944 It's pretty straightforward, I'll do an overview video of the swap soon.

[@pelon2809]

From my understanding there are very few and extremely rare first gen Lightnings.. I could be wrong..

[@themanwithoutaplan]

5 speed swap? Cool. What you rubbing for a transmission? Those things are a little heavy to just do the birthday t5 swap I feel like.

[@CarsFoodWeed]

We're using the M5OD r2

[@themanwithoutaplan]

@@CarsFoodWeed hell yeah!!!!!!!!! Sounds like a fun driver

[@KeanuReevesBoss429]

I could be wrong, but I think you have a bearing going out on one of your pulleys.

[@daisbestDA9]

Reading the comments on it being a manual, it's called a swap people...

[@4tydog]

How durable is the M5OD r2? Around the same as a foxbody t5?

[@CarsFoodWeed]

I would say it's more durable considering the extra weight it pulls around in trucks. They used them in 2wd and 4wd applications. They aren't designed to be shifted fast. I've had to change top covers several times because of worn shift forks.

[@caryhuffii7224]

It's cool it still has the cassette deck a lot of people like to replace them...

[@LostInPhilly89]

My '99 F250 still has the original radio/CD/tape headunit. I refuse to replace it because I actually have some old tapes that I still listen to now and again.

[@junkddisgustipate7812]

Nothing beats that sexy pushrod sound. Regardless of more power, engines today sound so lame.

[@sushi_guylol2644]

Amazing truck

[@bonn1771]

awesome truck enjoy it!

[@Thinker669]

That road was bumpy.

[@kevinrichards3288]

Is that manual tranny factory or did you put it in yourself because I thought all of those Ford Lightnings had automatic trans?

[@CarsFoodWeed]

It's swapped

[@julianortega6664]

Hey my dad has a 1993 f250 and it does a whining noise too but idk what it is tho and the engine isn't duperchargered i believe the engine is a 1993 f250 302 5.0

[@CarsFoodWeed]

Check the level of the power steering fluid. Sometimes the pumps just whine, I've driven fords all my life so it doesn't bother me

[@Eastbaystunna]

Did it come manual out the factory bad ass truck tho bro

[@andrewhanchell2277]

Hi I'm Walter in Nassau looking for a dash board for one like it but love the the stick man brings out the sound better

[@devanciemiewicz5352]

Is your door fully closed? You can hear it vibrating

[@CarsFoodWeed]

Truck

[@KeanuReevesBoss429]

It’s the door panel, mine does the same thing.

[@lowest.tier.garage]

Hey man, why does she idle so high?

[@CarsFoodWeed]

It needed a new IAC and EGR, previous owner neglected a lot on this truck.

[@lowest.tier.garage]

@@CarsFoodWeed That makes so much sense man. I was like damn. 1500rpms when in gear??

Pick up some bigger screws from home depot, that fixed it for me

How did you fix it this bugs me mine just stay half way

@@jerrettbrown1845 first try hitting the wiper motor with a hammer while its turned on

How does this Lightning have a manual transmission??

swapped manual into it

[@jimmybaggs5342]

converted to manual?

The window motor is loose bud that’s the snaking you hear in the door

Appreciate for the remote diagnosis, there are several items destroyed by the previous owner hanging loose in there.

lightnings were all automatics

This one was until the e40d exploded. The m5od is a much more robust transmission for racing use.
