That was 2005 , you mean they were never released ? huh , i'll get more info about that tommorrow..

HI!... Well if you saw one it was either custom fabricated by someone other than FORD or it was a FORD prototype and the only one. FORD never made a AWD lightning.

I was there 2004 - 2006 sub contracted to build there new parabolic track around the steering and suspension test track and also a viewing area, which was just 25' high pile of sh^t dirt lol .. They tested that truck for months, here and there. They would turn truck in circles just above idle for 1 or 2 days straight , then leave - come back the following week and do the same thing again and again - Dialing in the AWD front end. Some other dude got in her the first day it arrived and had fun with it , I've haven't seen a truck that fast lol, it went pretty good, that was the only time we seen it really get on it. The techs/engineers messed with the steering radius most of the time. The truck didn't have the 4x4 look at all , it sat just as low as the 2WD'S. There must be some differences between the AWD drive-trains vrs's the 4x4 drive-trains - I didn't get a good look underneath..

+1 especially since ceramic coating the inside is very hard to predict where it will build up if it will flow evenly also because your adding material to the inside the actual diameter of the tube is decreased.

Yeah, but I don't see it making a noticable difference.

Well , Damn , Looks Like a used 5.4L intake manifold is hard to come by. I going to change the intake gaskets , I put the wrong ones on there last spring (freakin parts guy!!) but they don't leak , the dowel holes didn't line up..so I'm pulling it anyway and would like do the intake then. It's going to take a couple days polishing alone - prolly be down for a week or so before I get it back together. It's been a biatch keeping the shop warm seeing how I didn't plumb a gas line out there yet and kerosene isn't cheap!! So I wanted to shave some time by prepping another manifold before I tear it down.

My 98 5.4L 2valve non-PI, very lightly moded w/my own custom chopped up intake on top and polished TB and elbow w/upgraded 19 lb injectors and a fresh set of COPs - cat back magna flows leaves the 3 VALVE in the dust , The broad power band in these motors is something else. I like the older ones. Since I finally got my E4OD to hit hard (that took forever) theres allot more power getting to the ground.

Keeping it stock for the most part, cleaning up and refining what I got seems to be working.

here you go faster, a current dyno run. You have to admit it is a very flat power curve.


However i dont know if this is for his 99 f150 or his Pro-Sit Ranger
