hello everyone. i just got myself my second lightning. a 00 ford lightning today for $3500 (it has a salvage title). the truck runs great. need new front end, new wheels and tires. when i was driving home today i noticed a grinding noise and noticed that the supercharger cooler tank is missing!! im looking to get a replacment tank asap b4 anything, but will this work? i cant seem to find the stock one. im thinking of buying a new tank for the engine too since its really ugly.

also where would be a good place to purchase a new front bumper?

 

Yes,,that will work.
But I would be more comfortable buying off ebay before I would buy ANYTHING from RPM!! They have a very bad rep!

ok wait a minute.. i dont think i have a heat exchanger ether.. where does that one go? can someone take a picture of it? thankz.

 

Go to the NLOC classifieds, a guy just posted up for sale, a stock heat exchanger, intercooler coolant container...etc......

 

where does the heat exchanger go?

this is where i stand. if anyone can help me out with wat i need or show me some pics.. i would greatly appreciate it.

 

This is an upgrade to the stock inter-cooler tank/reservoir.
It holds more coolant then the stock one,,,keeps things cooler.

Looks like the hole inter-cooler system has been eliminated!
You'll need a heat exchanger,pump,tank and hoses.

Phil

 

ok heat exchanger $325 from johnny lightning . pump $175 from tasca ford parts, the tank i found the original at a junk yard for $30(wat luck). and hoses some of them are already there im probly just gonna need the one that goes from the motor to the heat exchanger. does this sound like all i need? whats the diffrence in these 2 heat exchangers? 99-04 Lightning Pro Double Pass Heat Exchanger & 99-04 Lightning Heat Exchanger ??

 

also.. wat can i do to fix the leak from the first pic?

 

You also have a 6 rib belt running your supercharger. It should be an 8 rib belt.

I wouldn't be surprised if your intercooler leaks once you get all the other parts of the system running. It's a 2000 and it doesn't appear to have been well cared for so it may not have had the service fix parts installed.

Good luck. 3500 is certainly a decent price.

 

i'd part the truck out and take the money and buy something better. That truck looks like it was in a flood. Last thing you need is electronic failures leading to engine/transmission malfunctions.

You could part that truck out and make double your money back and but something in a 99 or 00 for what you get.

 

That poor truck needs some TLC!!
