% of modded Lightnings?

Opinions please...
What percentage of gen 2's have at least the basic chip filter mods done? I know just about every one here does, but how many stockers are there kicking around that never see the boards?

I would never dream of modding mine Why would anybody want to do that



P.S.

Consider this...... Ford / SVT watches these boards to. Something called warrenty issues??!!

I'd check out BABolt's websight here if you dont want to mess with a chip. For me, a chip is the last thing i'll end up getting for this truck ( i dont plan on upgrading the pulleys, etc, just air intake and exhaust). The last thing i need is a voided warrenty, today was my second time in unber 5 K miles that i've had to take it in for warrenty work.

I just wanted to see how many people mod their truck and what the gen 2 market will be like 20 years from now.

Mine will remain stock

Ditto, same here, except for the headers and filter which the previous owner added. Bedrug will be here this week, and the stereo was a great upgrade.
I have no plans to chip it, change pullies or anything. The shocks may get changed, but that it about it.

Mine won't be worth anything in 20 years the way its going now. If you want a better investment find a truck that was produced in low numbers like the syclone or sonoma gt. They will hold their value. There will soon be over 20K lightnings out there. That does not help your resale value now or in the future.

I didn't buy this truck to keep in pristine condition so that some jackazz 20 years from now can have it. I'm enjoying it NOW.
