Default My F150 Lightning truck!

After about 12 years of wanting one I finally bit the bullet and bought one!! Found a mint 03 plate with only 26k on the clock a couple of weeks back!!! Will be standard for a while then will start playing with it!!!!!

Few rubbish pics!!

LPg would be a good move but i wouldnt do the mileage to justify it!! About Ł100 to fill up, about 240miles i reckon!

Yeah they are prone to spitting plugs ... Same with the newer 3v heads. The plugs break off in the head and its an epic 3 day job to get them out ... Revised in 2007.

I raced an SRT10 in my 08 FX4 and they are pretty quick but cannot do anything with a Blown Roush or Saleen Truck ..

The lightning is a 2wd Street Truck where as the SRT is a 1500 RAM with the V10 instead of the 5.7 HEMi

On the plug front i have heard this also. From 2003 though they revised the head and put longer threads on them luckily!!

12 years is a long time to wait, but glad you went for the last good looking model!

The Dodge Ram is a beast though, mate of mine has one...and a Ferrari! Git!
