Hey guys (girls),

This is my first time here. I have been on Stangnet for some time now (aka: crash). I no longer own a Mustang, and I have owned my F-150 since February.

The truck is bone stock now, but I am looking forward to modifying it.



------------------
'98 4.6 5-sp F-150

 

Welcome to the board crash1!

What type of Mustang did you have?

------------------
The Truck: 1997 Black F-150 Flareside. Regular Cab ORP and Towing Package
The Mods: K&N Filter, Eurolid Hard Tonneau and Ford Bug Deflector.
The Site:
Triton's 4.6 Liter Web Page
www.mindspring.com/~acbradley/index.html

 

I have owned a few, a '73, an '86, an '88, and a '98. The ex has the '98. I have the truck, and my freedom.

 

Amen, crash1 –

You have the better half of the settlement. Truck & freedom, or is that truck = freedom?

 

Welcome. I let you in on a secret. The superchip should be the first mod you should do to your truck. Watch out for Raoul, his picture is in the General Discussion area.

1999 Ford F150 XLT Supercab, Shortbed, 4x2, 4 wheel disc brakes/4 wheel Anti-Lock Brakes, Cloth Seats, Amazon green, 16" All season tires, Soft Tonneau Cover, CD Player, 4.6 liter Triton V8, 3:55 ls, towing package, 4 speed auto, K&N Airfilter

 

I guess I don't count on this board message, but I have the Hypertech powermodule on my 93. I really can't tell a big difference w/ or w/o it, because in order for it to work carefully you have to WOT and run at least 92 octane. Maybe I am missing a few points of having a chip/module. Maybe you 97 and newer people have better luck?

 

Reavis- truck=freedom. Just try to throw a big screen into a Mustang...lol...I have to be honest, though, I am sure I'll own another.

I think I will truly be free when the truck satisfies my adrenalin dependency...my tolerance is high.


fast46- Thanks! I'll be sure to stay away from the pudding! lol

I'd like to know more too. You say first mod? Also, what about the "Power Programmer"?

Hey, are there any "free" mods out there?

 

You'll own another what? Mustang or Wife? Oh... stupid question, 'Stang of course! First mod is a bedliner so my goofy friends don't scratch the ****ins outa the bed when thet borrow my truck.

For mods consider a Superchips (see other posts, a cat back exhaust (many to choose from) and an Air Aid intake to replace the restrictive factory stuff.
These 3 changes will give you the ost bang for the buck beginning with the Superchips.

crash1 welcome to the board. So when you got your truck did it take you a while to get use to it after driving a mustang I plan on getting a truck soon and well my last 3 cars all have been mustangs and well I plan on getting a truck because of insurance is to high on a mustang.

 

Reavis- be sure to fill your gas cans on the ground...lol

The truck is a black, regular cab style side. 4.6l 5-sp LD.

NO power locks, windows, tilt, cruise, or pedals, no pin stripes, no belt, no leather, and no carpet...

If you want to see the truck, point your browser to: truckinweb.com, click on the camera, then select Oklahoma. You can also post your own.

I have thought about building something like the AIRAID. Has anyone attempted this?

 

Tina,

I knew it was hard to find, but It is interesting to hear you say rare. I have worked at dealerships for some time, and have never seen one, couldn't find one in Dallas, and I had to see it to believe it! I finally found it at the Tulsa Auto Collection.

hmustang- No, we had always had a truck too. I've had a Ranger, and an '89 F-150, so what DID take getting used to is NO I-beams!
