And this is a good thing? I thought the reason that Lightnings almost did not exist was because they were burning up the trannies without dropping power during shifting?

Someone has a TON of reading to do and/or too much time on their hands.

 

I remember that day well. 20K miles and almost 3 years later and still love her.

 

The question was never answered by the Superchip Dist., would this void the warranty?

Also, what about mods?

Would a reburn be nessary for us that have mods?

Pulley's, 90mm mass air, Air induction kits?


With the whole voiding the warranty thing, with removing the ford program that drop 4 cylinders per shift, that is there to save the tranny, if you reprogram that wouldn't that put more strees on the tranny and the tranny lose it's life.

thanks,

 

To most of the newer guys (like me), you need to realize that most of this thread was discussed in 1999!! It took me a minute to try to determine why everyone was suddenly so hot for a Superchip.

 

Ah yes....the good ole' days when the only thing we cared about was helping each other go faster. Not flaming one another for outrageous claims and such.

Oh well, time goes on. Fun to look back though.

If you look even further back, you'll see that we were actually excited just to get the open air filter from Sal in like July 1999.

all i want to know is, is this thing going to void my warrenty????

 

lmao

 

I think our warranties have expired.

 

Whats going on, Are some of you going threw a mid Lightning crisis!

All this talk of the past is getting me depressed

 

Your 'warrenty'(sic) went out at about 21 yrs. of age. Not sure about your Ls warranty---didn't you get that extended warranty(100,000 miles or 10 yrs.) that covers all mods and racin' incidents ?

I think i will wait for results from the members here..

New True Blue 2002

It was nice reading about the questions I had with my "old" 99. I sold her and have a better 01 now....lol j/k guys.

 

To be more specific, go to your local Ford dealer, order as many spare engines as you can afford and store them in your garage. With any luck, they will last 100,000 miles or 10yrs.

 

Mike, are the increases the same for the 99's as the 01/02's??
