I'm obviously new to this site. I am working on a 2001 lightning and I was wondering if anyone can point me towards a list of torque specs for the engine to include the s/c to intake manifold. Thanks fo the help.

 

Service DVD's are sold on ebay.

 

ummm.......that's it?

 

Yea, that's all you need. Honest.

 

Is it your vehicle?

 

That's the first thing I buy when I have a new vehicle is a manual.... can't see it any other way

 

+1
Hayne's or Chilton's are cheap enough.

 

ok......no, the vehicle is not mine, and by "that's it?" i meant i could have found a dvd or a manual for the vehicle myself, but i figured i would try one of these forums first......i can usually find one that has the specs for a vehicle i am working on. and haynes does not make a manual specifically for the lightning, just the base 5.4.....

 

See, that makes more sense then. The vehicle isn't yours. Since you didn't specify, figured you were to lazy to do yourself some good and get a manual. But, that's not the case, your working on another's truck. That's cool, to bad you didn't say that right off lol. Anyway, here you go -

 

that was a start,thanx for the help. Now I need to know what the process is for taking the s/c belt pulley off of the crank. I wound up getting a haynes manual anyways, but it only covers the base 5.4, not the lightning......

 

Isn't that just a normal damper removal ? Off the crank should be in the book. I could look to see if it's different, off hand , I don't think so.

 

Yea, this is all that's on the list from service -

 

Crank pulley must be the same as far as removal for the base 5four.

 

I can get the balancer off, since it is the same as a normal 5.4, but the s/c belt pulley is in front of the balancer and has to come off first.........just trying to find out the exact procedure for getting that pulley off.......it looks like i would be able to use a spanner wrench and a large hex-head socket, but i am having no luck finding someone that has an adjustable spanner wrench in this hell hole........

 

I'll look again. Maybe I can find something on the 99's.

Alright , I have the procedure for that model year. PM your email address and I'll send it with diagrams.
