Help on a couple 00 lightning questions:
I've moved this thread as requested.
What am I in for ?
I've just bought a 2000 lightning w/ 120k and it runs out great (love F150's anyway) but was wondering about a few things like;
1) if the S-charger belt breaks..... will the engine still get me home?
2) Is the auto/transmission good, it doesn't have any leaks or slippage right now?
3) Is the ring/pinion harder than usual to change because it has a 4.11 now and I'd Reuther have a higher gear in the low 3's
If this isn't the right place for this, please let me know?

I guess I should ask, why do you think the gear has been changed from the OEM 3.55's?

Do you think rear torsion bars are a must have ------- when and if I get around to torquing it ?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by rear torsion bars. Sway bar? Rancho style long bars?
Plus, what will you be torquing?
