A couple of things...
Can you folks who are in the performance industry post your links to your websites so I can check out prices for exhaust, chips, pulleys and all that other fun stuff so I can get an idea of what I want to do with my new Lightning. I've already got some good insight just from reading the board.
BTW- I did my first oil change and I got that fu#@*^& marble in a can sound. Its very quiet and pretty much goes away when the engine warms up but it is still disheartening. I called SVT and the guy there said that he has heard it in some trucks and not others and that I shouldnt be concerned with it. I asked if I should put a heavier weight oil in it to quiet it and he said to stick with the 5w20 for warranty reasons and to use exactly 6 qts. Not 6 qts in the engine and another .5 qt in the filter. I'll guess I'll see what happens in spring when I bring the truck out of storage.
And finally where is that crack in the door supposed to be located that I've read about.
Thanks a bunch. I really appreciate it!
