For that pipe, you can take a piece of flat metal and put it on the opposite side of where you want the bend to be and use a c-clamp on the other side. Put the screw side where you're applying heat at and it will push it in. The piece of metal on the opposite side will prevent it from scuffing up or bending.

I have a 5.4 f150 with the super cooling package. That lower radiator hose always scared me with the lines going to the oil cooler. Do Note that the gasket on the oil cooler mounted on the filter housing can go bad. Causing the coolant and oil to mix. If you have one of these trucks with oil/coolant mixing. Do a combustion leak test. because It may be the oil cooler and not the head gasket.

Great series on the SVT Lightning!!! My 1st lightning was a used 99. Then in 2004 I traded it in on a brand new one. Left it bone stock and today I still have it with only 65K miles on the clock. Over the years I dreamed about doing different mods but it ran so nice I left it alone. Thought about selling it now that I’m in my 70’s but after watching this lightning series I don’t see how I can part with my old friend 😢. Matter of fact I think I’ll go out in the garage with a cup of coffee, turn on some tunes and do a little dusting under the hood. Thanks for the inspiration everyone. ❤

Awesome video! Here a tip - I normally hold the fan at the top of the blade while it inside the shroud when putting a new radiator back in then screw the fan in before bolting the radiator onto the body. It allow me to move the radiator around a bit to screw the fan onto the water pump and I wouldn’t have to struggle putting the fan on trying to squeeze it between the engine and shroud since I already installed radiator with fan inside the shroud. Loved your truck!

Make sure you clean that throttle plate. When you did the unwrapping on the crate I noticed how much carbon there was. In your last video when first starting it up you tried blipping the throttle and remarked that it was sticking. In this video you mentioned at one point the idle was high and you had to manually shut the throttle body all the way. It’s a beautiful truck. My first job at a ford dealer back in ‘03 was replacing an engine in one that some 16 year old kids parents bought him. He chipped it and sent a rod through the block. Remember him complaining how he could never have anything nice. I thought what a douchebag. I was driving an ‘82 Buick Park Ave at the time that I spent an entire summer working and saving up to buy.

Compared to that new Lightening truck beside yours, yours is KILLER! The new one does absolutely nothing for me. It's boring although I know it's insanely fast while the charge is up on it for a few hits I couldn't care less about it. Yours ROCKS!

I've only just started watching your channel Alex, though Peter not only adds an extra pair of 👐's to the projects but also lighthearted humor when things get frustrating. Peter is definitely an asset to this channel even though he's only been here for a short period of time. And that DL("Didn't Last" joke) sticker on the alternator had me in tears. 🤣

Alex, you got a good thing going on there with the crew you have with Peter and Max. And I want to tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you buy and wrench on every-man kind of vehicles. Plus it is readily apparent that you truly enjoy what you do. Keep it up, and I will keep watching!

That colour was made for that truck. As I get older I’ve learned to appreciate everything from the big 3. They all have their beauties. This is definitely one of ford’s

I really enjoyed these Ford lightning videos and I'm also really glad you've branched out and done something other than Mercedes or GM. It really does draw me to your channel when you do out of the box stuff like this.

Found your channel because of lightning initial video in my suggestions. What a beauty nothing as good as the lighting has ever come off a production line not even the Silverado ss. Cool to see you’re in Illinois.
