Well My reference to the dual cats. was refering to stock cats. and yes I am sure they are very restricting but I definately felt the power difference in the seat of my pants just from removing the stock muffler. Yes there are high flow cats out there but at that time I did not have the cash to replace the whole exhaust system, but I am planing to do this in the near future. I will take out the two cats and put in 1 three stage cat with the air injection port so it will be legal. (acording to the local EPA in my area) They even told me that I could run dual exhaust as long as it has the three stage cats on both pipes with air injection into both and can provide either a single source for the O2 sensor or put a sensor in each pipe as long as it reads from both sides of the engine. Which I will probably do as Ford did and put a small pipe between the two pipes with the O2 sensor bung in it. Of course this will all be of the freest flowing cats, a moderate size exhaust tubing, and a good set of equal lengh heade
rs. This should free up a few pony's and provide a little more torque to the rear wheels. By the way this is all on my '92 F-150 S.C. 4X4 302.
P.S. my appologize for the long message but I get a little carried away when I start talking about my truck, it is my pride and joy.

I'm having a little trouble with m ISP so sorry if this is old but I wanted to say something about fordtrucks list! This isn't just junk email this is a Club, it has to be I feel I'm in one! I'm 42 so I'm not quite ready for the home but I have been around the block a few times! You can teach an old dog new tricks I've learned more online in the last to years than the 40 before with my face in manuals. That makes this list valuable.
When I was putting my truck back together I had inadvertently failed (forgot, OK!) to mark where the vacuum lines went for my transmission. I posted it and received an email saying if I hadn't received an answer he would go uncover three feet of snow off his truck and look for me (I'm making more of a point on the snow than he did!)! That makes closer than just people with an interest in Ford Trucks we're a Club! We help one another, we share our lives and our lives are enriched by it!
I only know Ken by this list, as with each one of you, we range from miles to thousands of miles away from each other and yet we're in each others homes every night! Ken has foot the bill for this whole thing! I believe he's done this because he finds the information of value and the friendships invaluable!
Up till now what we have is from the contributions of one man, who is giving us the opportunity to have the resources of hundreds of people! Can you imagine what we could available to us?
You can count me in Ford Truckers I've received enough from you to feel I owe some dues!

Hi Ken, Charlie and Everyone,

I vote for splitting the list, and would be happy to contribute for the expenses. One question Ken - what's the rationale for the pre/post 1980 split? Thanks for all your hard work: this forum is excellent.

Hey Ken,
I'm in the same predicament, I am a college student also(broke!!).........however this list is great and I have got some very valuable info from it and all the users. I am planning on being employed in the near future and would love to contribute some cash when I have some..........this "fee" when and if implemented will be an investment of knowledge for me not an expense.
Keep up the good work Ken and Charlie and anyone else that has a hand in on the administration of this list. Just let me know where and when to send some money.


Now, I have a question about seats for my 79 F150.........................does anyone know what kind of seats(60/40 split, buckets) would look great and are comfortable for a pick-up?? I have seen Aerostar buckets in a 79 f150 and they look half decent but I would like to get some feedback and see if there are any different seats that I have not considered.
Thanks for all your help in advance! See ya!

I have been having a really loud zinging sound coming from my 95 Ranger
2.3L (5 spd standard) when I reach between 2100 to 2200 RPMs and only between these RPMs and it doesn't matter what gear I'm in. What the hell
could it be?!?

This is a complicated issue. If we had been asked to 'donate' money when we first joined, we would have left b/c we would not have had a chance to see what an invaluable resource this forum is.

We have only just begun our exploration into the world of 'home mechanics' and still have a lot to learn. This list is one of the most helful and satisfying places we have to come for advice/opinion. It would be well worth it to us to send a couple dollars to keep this list going and to help Ken in any other way possible!

We should be so lucky to have a forum like this for our other vehicle.
We can only speak for ourselves, but anyone else who gets a lot from this list, ask yourself what it is worth to you to keep it going?

In addition to the split I found a new web host who can handle the volume the site generates - total cost $25 a year for 100mbytes/days bandwidth. Last night a couple of offers came in to pay for the web site so it will soon move to the new host (2-3 weeks).
