    exhaust smell in cabin with windows or sun roof open

    I'm looking for things to try here. My exhaust isn't exactly stock, but exits the stock location. What I can tell you is that I don't have an exhaust leak. With a window down, or the roof open its almost like the smell comes from the back of the cabin. It's surprisingly bad. My exhaust does...

    My New, New 347

    I'm abandoning my old thread (My new 347), as the motor has been an epic fail for many reasons. Against any sane reason, I'm trying again. Post #1 is a thread with all parts for my own records. I'll keep adding to this as I have the time and know what parts are being used. New (Used)...

    Torque Monster Headers with Bob back

    VroomZoomBoom and I have been talking to Bob on and off. Great guy. I asked if he could make me a drivers side header without the 2 piece joiner in the pipe. Four reasons for this: 1. The header can be easily removed and replaced by just loosening up the front accessory bracket and pulling the...

    On with my issue of the moment. OD light flashing, code reads P7081 which is a 1-2 shift error Interestingly enough, even with the od light flashing, shifting feels fine, and the truck seems completely drive-able. What to do? I really don't want to drop the trans, so I decided to do what I...

    4.0 ohv pacesetter headers

    Vroomzoomboom found a crack. There was no audible exhaust leak I was aware of, although the cam/lifters were noisier than stock because of the higher lift/duration 422 cam. At your own risk. Because of the crack, I'm thinking $50.00 + shipping.

    5.0 torque converter tuning issue?

    I've been struggling with overdrive coming and going. In the midst of this, I've been doing all kinds of other things also. Turbo, 347 motor etc. Now, I 'think' I always had a lockup issue as I am totaly amazed at how low the rpm's go when locked up. I'm pretty well convinced its tuning...

    So, I filled up with gas, and very quickly had stumbling, trans codes, and all 4 o2 sensors firing codes. Immediately, I felt it must be bad gas. I syphoned it out, and refilled. Within 2 miles the truck ran great. I was sure it was the gas. 2 days later its coming back, intermittently...

    As we are bumping performance on our Explorers, were dreaming of a knock sensor that would work with the stock pcm. So, What about the 1996 F-150? It has a knock sensor, and I started wondering how close the PCM is. My guess is that its pretty close. The knock sensor is located at the...

    dccontrol fan controllers

    Im not sure where to post this, or even the forum rules, but this does deserve special mention. When I bought my truck, it had a FK-35 fan controller on it. Due to how it was mounted, I ended up breaking off a couple of pins that the thermostat connector mounts to. Clearly my fault. I...
