  1. Sorry i havent responded sooner. Well i cant do to much to the engine. The reason why is that it is fuel injected, but it has speed density, not mass air like most vehicles now and days. And i also have upgraded wires, coil, cap and rotor, and spark plugs. So spark is not an issue. I can add a cold air intake and a lot more other things to the engine to get it to run better, but i would have to convert it to mass air. They cost around 800 for a Ford Racing mass air conversion kit. So i really dont want to spend that kind of money. Also my driving habits have been the same. The next thing i am going to replace is my O2 sensor. we shall see how it goes.

  2. Sorry to hear the news man. Pretty much once the air bags deploy, they are gonna total it out. But damn, 650 dollars to have it towed and stored over night? To me, that is bull shit. I would have to take some legal action on that part. It shouldn't be more that 2 bills for a tow and a nite. They are just trying to kick you while you are down.

    WHy the fuck do i keep thinking you have a truck rofl.

    Sorry to hear about though man :(

    maybe you are thinking of me?? Cause we both have blue in are SN?

  3. Just take your time and make sure the cuts are straight. Make sure you have a drill and drill bit handy for when you have to replace the floor pan on top of a brace. Its going to be a PIA, but it will get the job done. I would suggest doing one side at a time and only replace where the steel is bad. You could just replace the whole thing, but i would find the area with the rust damage and cut an inch into good steel and cut out that section on the new floor pans(with and inch lip). Good luck on doing it to. Make sure you have the welder set up right so you don't burn through the metal and not get a solid weld.

  4. I have a quick question and hopefully someone here can help me out. My F150 is my daily driver, and if i average 60 mph i get around 18 mpg. That is not bad for a truck, but i know there is better mileage in it. I was able to get 23 mpg when i used to do 55 mph. I have 3.55 gears, and when i'm doing 55 my rpms are right at 1500. I was thinking that if I was to go to a pick-a-part and found a truck with a 8.8 diff, and it had 3.08, or even 3.00 gears, wat effect would that have on my performance? Keep in mind i drive 50 miles one way to school twice a week. Speed no less than 60 mph all the way there. I hardly drive on the streets, maybe a total of 20 miles a week. With the increase in gas prices coming up here in California (april first sales taxe in my region will be 9.0%+, dont move to California). I'm just trying to find a way to squeeze every last drop of gas i can.

    Thanks, Scott

  5. So people are so low on space that the extra displacement gained from shallow mounts makes it worth the trouble and extra $$$?

    Odd. I did notice the freq response on those things is very pidly.

    Actually its not the increase in displacement that we are worried about, but the depth of the sub itself. The people with very limited space can't afford to have a sub that is 5-8 inches deep. But we do have room for one that is less than 4 inches deep.

    i heard a pioneer shallowmount from a member here and it sounded great. i sounds smooth

    This would be me when I went to Vegas for my 21st. If I had the money at the time I would have done atleast 2 many even 4. But the one is doing fine for me right now.

    Here is a video of what they can do

  6. Hey man my condolences are with you and your friends. I know what it feels like to loose a friend in a car crash. I have lost 2 close friends due to car crashes in the past few years, and lost another one that used to sit next to me in high school in our science class. The only things i can tell you is that keep your head up, remember the old good times and the bad. Never forget who he was as a person, and as a friend.

  7. I have to agree the pioneer shallow mounts are pretty good. I have the 12" in my regular cab f150. I'm thinking about upgrading to 2 10" Re Se. Here is a video of it in my truck just to give you a clue what these can do

  8. i think it sounds great!!! nice job

    Wow, logan saying something nice about a dodge???? J/k, sounds great though good job.

    if youre going to do straight pipes the best way to do it is draw on the pipes with a grease pencil from the header/manifold back, then run it for a good 10 minutes or so, so it gets good and hot, then look at the pipes, the grease pencil writing will be burnt off to a certain point, where it starts again is the perfect length for your exhaust.

    I'm going to do that. This is the second time i heard of that method. One of my old baseball coaches told me about that, i forgot about that till you said that.
