Looking to instal LS and exhaust, looking for a shop
Hello All
2001 F150 XL (7700) 4x2
White
Tow package
LINEX liner
Bought her new, have 6700mi with no trouble until now; between 50 an 55 mph or so the tranny shifts in and out of OD with steady accelerator position?
I was thinking about trading her in for a new F150 4x4 especially after we got my wife a 2004 Tiatan LE 4x4 just about fully loaded, but I like my 7700 and with a few upgrades she will be fine.
Looking to add a limited slip rear, Eaton maybe. Who makes a good LS for my truck?
New rims, nothing to flashy: any recommendations for 7 lugers?
Some all-terrain tires, any suggestions?
New exhaust; some rumble but not to loud; any recommendations?
Air intake mod?
New seats up front, that bench is killing me; How hard is it to change out the bench with something better from the bone yard?
New sterio, stock cassette
Tune-up, change all fluids and a good wash after the mud dries.
Can ayone recommend a shop that can install the LS and the exhaust, I am up on the Northern Neck but work in Portsmouth anything between will work.
I wish I could help. I don't send my truck out for shop work, I'm too cheap
2 quick things though.
-Tires, I would go with BFG All-terrains. I have 31" BFG's, 3 years, 35,000 miles later and still have about 50% tread left. They ride nice, and have a nice drone at speed
-Check out a Trac-loc. Its a small "locker" that replaces the spider gears in your carrier.
I'm sure someone here will be able to recomend a shop. For the rest of your questions, I would try posting this in the 1997-2003 forum.
Glad to have you around, welcome to FTE

well trac-lok is ford's limited slip, has friction disks' and metal disks sandwiched behind the spider gears, then an S spring behind it. but the whole carrier needs replacing. Lock Right is one option.
