@five0pd310منذ 3 سنوات 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 id="hidden5" class="buttons"> 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! ....وسعت 5

@Czechboundمنذ 3 سنوات Hardest working man on Youtube. Who else would get home from work at 9pm+ after a long day on your feet wrenching; then get up at 4.30am, drive 2 hours, id="hidden7" class="buttons"> leave with the new car at 9am, be back at noon and go straight to work for another 9 hour day. Inspiring for me to say the least. Have a GREAT 4th of July weekend Alex. All the best and greetings from Prague. ( PS : can't wait to see the new garage up and running ). ....وسعت 1

@jonathanriggs6564منذ 3 سنوات Find yourself a period correct cap instead of a tonneau cover. Adds some weight and would definitely be helpful since the lightning isn't big on interior cargo space. 10

@ColdStartAutoمنذ 3 سنوات If I remember correctly, there is an oil cooler on these trucks, that is prone to failure and it allowed coolant into the oil. I strongly doubt the engine is in trouble even with how hard these get slapped around 17

@boneheadgarage5681منذ 3 سنوات 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 id="hidden25" class="buttons"> body and a killer chiller system and it made a huge difference. Also a catch can is very useful on those engines. ....وسعت 2

@ralphcasillas2820منذ 2 سنوات Nice video. I own a 2002 true blue lightning that I bought new and only have 40K miles on it. I lowered it similar to yours and put chrome factory wheels id="hidden26" class="buttons"> on it and a nice tonneau cover with a wing and fiberglass hood with dual hood scoops. When the lightning isn’t on the road it’s parked in the garage. It’s immaculate! I upgraded the muffler with a “Magna Flow”. I been thought a lot of vehicles but I’ve owned the Lightning the longest. It’s a fun truck to drive and I am constantly getting thumbs up when I drive it.
I think you paid a very fair price on your truck. Enjoy your Lightning! ....وسعت 1

@MrRichcop426منذ 3 سنوات Alex, love your channel and the content. The V12 Merc redo is one of a kind content. Nobody has the cohones to take it on other than you, so you have an id="hidden33" class="buttons"> interesting niche. On pickup trucks, Dodge did a series of stepside “Lil Red Express” trucks, complete with a 360/4 barrel/chrome dual stacks and minimal emissions restrictions due to a loop hole in the rules of the 70’s, which is the predecessor of the Ram SRT10 and now the TRX. Car & Driver also determined it was the fastest vehicle sold in America circa 1979. Which shows how anemic cars had become while they were learning emissions at the time. So, keep on doing. And it’s lb. ft, not ft. lb when talking’ torque. ....وسعت 1

@BFKAnthony817منذ 3 سنوات My grandfather bought one of these brand spanking new in 2003 when I was 19, it was red and boy was it a beauty. I only got to take it around the block id="hidden35" class="buttons"> after installing a K&N air filter into it for him. But at least I got to drive it. He did get it lowered a few inches as well so it undoubtedly helped with performance over stock. But man I still wish he never sold it. He sold it in 2011 with only 30k miles for like 20k. An old guy bought it in cash from him, who was a collector of the Lightning. He had 5 of them if I am not mistaken.
Anyways, this video took me down memory lane. I remember the first time he opened it up on the highway for us and man, it SCREAMED! That supercharger really is no joke! ;) ....وسعت
