    converter is slipping?

    Howdy, Since I'm running my new config with the PT52 my tranny/convereter (both stock) behaves differently. The tranny shift as it should be all the time, under part throttle and at WOT too. However almost every time I power braking the truck the converter will act up when it's locking up. It's...

    Wiring the two speed Ford Fan

    Howdy, A question for anyone who is using the Ford fan. I know it came in two speed and one speed versions. I've a two speed from a 95' Taurus 3.8L. Obviously I don't need the two speed. My question, how do you wire the two speed? Do you solder them together and give the voltage for both speed...

    External fuel pump, which brand, what model?

    Howdy, I'm thinking on a fuel system upgrade, which could serve a good build with around 750HP at the crank. I've searched around, but couldn't find any specific information. What kind of pump should I use? Aeromotive? Which model? On a side note, I guess -8 AN lines should be enough for such a...

    Difference in idle speed in P and D

    Howdy, I'm just curious what's the reason between the different idle speed settings under load and not under load. The Ultimate came like this and would be nice to know the reason. With the 50's it's 800 at idle once warmed up and no load (in P). It's 700 under load. I guess it's because...

    Still stalling and rough idle - UPDATED

    Howdy, If you remember I posted about my stalling problem at gear changes a little while ago. I still have this problem but beside this my idle went bad too. First it came occasionaly, usualy after longer trips. Now it's always there a few minutes after startup, once the coolant is around...

    BBK throttle bodies

    Howdy, My stock TB is leaking badly at the shaft's ends, so I wanna replace it. One question thought. Since BBK stopped the production of the SyTy type TB's (Summit has the twin 58mm on the web, but they can't tell you a shipping date), I've to go with the 89-92 L98 TB. I know about the...

    Removal of the ABS - Done

    I've finished it, together with the 7/8" wheel cylinders install in the back... One remark here. These 7/8" cylinders are using a different thread for the bleeding valve... The stock won't work with them. Anyway new bleeding valves came with the cylinders, so no problem here. Back to the ABS...

    Howdy, Okay, I've this problem for a while and now I finally decided to cure this problem. When I power brake my truck, my rear wheels (at least the drivers' side fo sure) start to spin slowly while the truck is still sitting there. So I guess the front brakes hold the truck there. What can...

    Brake fluid; bleeding

    I'm slowly moving forward to remove my ABS. I've all the lines and tried to do a couple of flaring. So far so good. Now I have a few questions. What kinda brake fluid should I use? Keeping the DOT 3 or using DOT 5? What brand? I could also use some tips to flush and bleed the system. I've read...

    Missing starter bolt!?

    I was just wandering under the truck today :roll: and realized, that I'm missing one of the starter bolts. Since I've not touched the started since I bought the truck I think it was lost by a previous owner. Unfortunately there were a reason they haven't put back that bolt (the one nearer to...
