I have one question...Can anyone notice a difference in performance once you've thoroughly cleaned your motor? I'm pretty sure it helps it to run cooler with all that grime and dust cleaned off..I"m gonna do a detailed clean to mines this weekend..I've only detailed the motor once and that was almost a year ago

the TEMP control and the brilliant FORD engineers set it up that way.

I was out partying on Fire Island, I got back, it was dark, I was feeling fine, and there was my Lighting in Parking Lot Flat That can of fix-a-flat was worth it's weight in Gold right then and there, a matter of fact I bought two more cans that night and now keep 2 on board instead of one. I know it sucks but in a spot like that, it's the only way out. I plugged the tire about an hour later and never looked back. When I get new back tires, I'll make sure it's cleaned from the inside.
Dave, do you take the Lightning down to Bald Hill ? Every Wednesday Night there's a car show with some Awesome Stuff, a couple of Lightning's would look good ???
