I have parts on up to a fully built setup for that truck. From the looks of it, now is the time to tear down to underneath the blower and check to see if it has a turkey pan mod or it’s time to perform it yourself. Clean everything and get catch cans afterwards to keep your work. These trucks like to detonate. Pull plugs and run tr6 ngk gapped .32. Check for Healy coil work in the past and get you some 8thread cylinder heads if you can afford it. I have a set if in need…

Send your blower to joker too for a refurbishment. EGR delete and metco quick change hub with your choice of lower. No bigger than +6, stock boost is 8, don’t mess with the lower and tune accordingly. Shackles for the rear are cheap if you wanna level the truck. Get you a 4wd tranny pan and these trucks like a good valve body. Remember the connecting rods aren’t forged and are the weak point.

Matt Farah was testing an enthusiast's hopped up Acura, and the guy rambled on for a few minutes about all of the horsepower mods he made to the car. When Matt Farah asked him what kind of brakes he had on it as Matt was driving and approaching a sharp turn in the road, the guy had this blank, clueless stare in his eyes and replied "brakes?" The look on Matt Farah's face in the video was priceless!

Beautiful! I'm no expert of the Lighting line of F150s, but personally, I think the '97-'03 F150s of all types were some of the best looking AND performing trucks ever made. It also seems to be the last generation of trucks made that were able to be worked on by novices and driveway mechanics like me. I have an '03 Sport Supercab with the flareside bed (which needs to be brought back into production ASAP!!) and Triton 5.4L V8. It's still my daily and I refuse to get rid of it until the day it gives up the ghost. Until then, this thing continues to be a BEAST! Thanks for the video. Good choice on the Lightning, IMO!

Yes it is for the spare tire. And if you want to make a reliable 450 hp my buddy and I did a lightning conversion on his f150 and did a mono blade throttle body and a killer chiller system and it made a huge difference. Also a catch can is very useful on those engines.

I just bought my first pickup truck and it is a Ford F-150. It's got a lot of miles but I love being a truck owner. I love looking out and seeing it in my driveway.

Avalonking ceramic coating is actually really good. I did a trial run to see how it worked on my SS Camaro...looked phenomenal. Then tried it on the black AMG C63 coupe.....it's a 7 year old car. But on sections around the rear quarters (that didn't get pelted with Vegas sand from previous owner) the black paint literally looked like a black chrome Zippo. It's legit good stuff, I can't give a reference to how it holds up over time as it's only been 2 weeks. But they are also super nice and email back and forth with ya. I have years of detailing experience for Honda, Isuzu and Jeep Dodge...it's good stuff. **ya for real...pictures can't do it justice, I have the 8k Camera phone...but it can't replace standing in front and seeing it. My cars look insane good. ...and the snowblower and lawnmower too, why not. No more sticky grass clumps or snow clumps.

That K&N cleaner brings back smiles. I had one in my 05 Tahoe, and the current F350 dually has an Air Raid setup in it.. Not nearly as impressed.. BUT yeah, that cleaner stuff was still around 10 years ago, and probably today. Excellent vid!

Recommendation- change the Slapper bars for a set of cal-tracks. Calvert engineering. You can set pre load on them. They will launch your truck harder and straighter than the Slapper bars. Not very expensive either. Also, look at Viking shocks.

Excellent find/buy Alex! I'm looking fwd to this project for sure. I don't recall seeing a blue Lightning in the past, that color is awesome! I'd def do wheels and I would change the taillights as well. Funny, while I was watching this vid and I saw the tow hook thinking how it looked out of place and then you commented on how it didn't look good either lol.
