  1. That's a hell of a truck for a 18 y/o. :wink: But, I gotta say, as soon as I saw those train horns, I was jealous. I've always wanted some of those, just couldn't justify the price tag. Link to the video please, I love watching those two guys on the youtube riding around in their crown vic scaring people. :devil:

  2. Well, what I meant was 1 was finger loose and the rest were not to spec(22ft/lbs). All I've got to do is reset the tps after I adjust the idle screw about a half turn now. I talked to a guy about tuning my truck and he said he can't make it idle with tuning, something about the iac won't open far enough. He said he could tune idle on 03+ trucks with electronic TBs, something about how there butterflys are elctronic and idle can be set through the computer, pretty much to any speed you want.

  3. Well I've got a story for those of you who wanna hear. Today I took my truck out on its initial voyage and after driving about only a mile it started this VERY LOUD tapping. It sounded like a spun bearing, but I knew that couldn't be, I was still breaking in the springs and not reving it over 2 grand. I thought for sure though, one of my ls6 springs had failed me and I had dropped a valve on the piston. I started to call up the junk yards around here about a used lq4 for my pickup, but before that I decided to pull the valve covers. Low and behold, what did I see, about half of the rocker arms were loose and the bolts could be turned by hand. I just about started crying tears of joy, when I realized my tap could potentially be fixed by tightening down a couple bolts. So, when I get done writing this I will go out and tighten those bolts and hope it runs like a champ. The moral of the story is to always tighten your rocker arm bolts more than just snug and use a bigger ratchet than a qurter inch drive like my stupid self did.

     

     

    Sorry for my lame story, I'm just shocked at these chain of events. :)

  4. First time actually asking a question here so take it easy on me. :confused: I've searched and searched, but I can't find someone talking about exactly the same symptoms as I have, and whatnot. I finished up installing a tfs 30602002(220/224 .575 112lsa) cam in my lq4 today. My problem begun when I crunk it up for the first time, it's runs real rough(shaky) :urgent: and the ses light will blink for a while and then goes off for a while, and comes back again, continously. Also, after warming up, it doesn't want to start or idle on its own. What I want to know is; is this normal or does it indicate another problem? For instance, I know it needs a tune for this bigger cam, but I wanna know if its normal for a untuned lq4 to act this way.

     

     

     

     

     

    Thanks in advance. :)

  5. I agree with a little of what each of you say as far as performance. The plastic does squeeze out a little more performance as it HOLDS heat and doesn't transmit it to the air inside the intake tube. Whereas the aluminum TRANSMITS(dissipates) heat, and as so, transmits some heat to the air inside the tube making it a tad hotter.
