today i looked under the hood and there was hardly any water in the resivor it took a whole lettre to fill it back up. i checked just a week agao and it was fine WTF!!!

 

What year is your Lightning?. 99 and 00 had a leaky intercooler recall.

I would call the dealer and ask.

 

Maybe someone who know where the pet**** is drained your truck as a prank?




















Ok, I just wanted to write pet****.

Check the intercooler for leaks like he said.

 

pet***** ?

thats discusting I was just holding my dog too. . ok, figured it out.


heres a pic of the mut. my bluemerl sheltie.

 

 

This problem was corrected on the '01&newer models.From what I've read , if it hasn't leaked yet, it will.Hope they treat you as w

ell at the dealer as they do me

Did you go to Eastside ??

 

the recall program is over. If you truck was bought new, you should have been notified. If you just got it used, it's gonna cost you. I think it ended last october or something. Give the dealer your vin and they can tell you if it was done. Good luck

 

heck yea i went but they wouldn't let me run due to i didn't have a helmet, if you went i drove the red "L" it was the only one there and i was with the guy who drove the burgundy mustang who took 1st for the foot brake class.

 

Guys - I know that the recall is over, and I already had the fix done to mine, BUT I was just wondering, shouldnt the intercooler fix be covered under warranty ? The ESP warranty I have covers gaskets etc... Just wondering if that is an option for some of the new guys here buying older trucks..

i called and they said there was no recall and that if there was it would not have ran out, the thing is i bought it used and it came with a 4000 mi 4 mo warentee i have it scheudled to go in on friday but i was wondering if the guy was bs'ing me this is an SVT dealer and they should rember such a thing! Any thoughts?

 

This was an Owner Notification Program from Ford to fix chronic intercooler leaks on 99 and 00 L's. The program number is "O1B81 - Intercooler" and the kit is part number SPO XL3Z 9424 A8 (titled "Kit, Intake Manifold) which consists of a replacement 10 row intercooler and an new upper intake manifold. This program expired in September of 02 so unless it is still coverd under the standard 3/36 warranty, there is not going to be any help from Ford. It's about $850.00 for the kit without labor.

Hope it helps.

 

you might be lucky it being a 00. It might still have warranty on it.
