Hey Neal, I'm still running the 4.9 but you already know that from previous posts. The best mod so far was the catback system.The owner of my local Ford dealer said this is the best motor Ford ever made.This truck is 10 years old(grandma bought it new and gave it to me 2 years ago with 23k on the odometer I have 50k now). It's a good truck. Steve

I am seriously considering the purchase of a 95 F150 XL 2 whl drive 5pd manual with the 4.9L V6(bedliner and new tires). The truck appears to be in great shape with only 40,500 miles. The owner is selling because he has two other vehicles and was asking $7500 and has dropped to $6500. This Retails for around 10,500 with the bare essentials.
Is this deal as good as it seems or should I look for something? He did the oil every 5000 miles and has never had any repairs. Said may need brakes in future. All reponses appreciated. Thanks

 

Three inch exhaust is what I did for my 93 4.9, Ford has a very restective exhaust system , with two cats I had the rear one replaced with a 3" free flow magna flow and magna flow muff and 3" pipe

 

fla dosn't require a cat. or test for them at least. anybody offer a dual exhaust system from the stock manifolds back sanno the cat.. if i go with making my own will dump on the sides just before the axle.
