thefourth Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 What's the update on the engine issues? Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.
OrionStang Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Posted February 8, 2014 What's the update on the engine issues? Both cats and the H-pipe (its one big assembly) are being reluctantly replaced by Ford under warranty, on Wednesday. Once that is done, ill be doing the compression check on the cylinders and leak down tests if any low compression is discovered. I just want to be sure the heads/valvetrain are in good shape before building the bottom end and doubling the boost. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
thefourth Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 Have you checked out the head at all? Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself.

OrionStang Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Posted February 8, 2014 Have you checked out the head at all? Not visually. I really think they are fine, but I dont' want to tackle multiple issues. Best to clear one at a time. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
OrionStang Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 Didn't know these existed (thanks Keith77), borrowed it from Autozone. The coolant tested clean of combustion chamber fumes, meaning my head gaskets are likely good. Im happy, except I already bought new head gaskets and head bolts. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
Lbox88 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Either return them then or keep them for spares just in case? UBL | Build Log
OrionStang Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 Yeah, got them cheap, they're worth keeping for sure. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread

OrionStang Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 Ford has the parts, taking the car in Wednesday morning. Then I can really get down to figuring out this misfire stuff. Plugs are straight, no coolant in the cylinders (or oil), all coils and injectors are firing. I am hoping the cats were causing the issues all along. If not, it has to be in the tune somewhere. One thing at a time, though. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
n8ball2013 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Yeah i know it's tough to not make a bunch of changes but it can make things overly complicated if you start doing that THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
