3 of my cyclinders are running lean, freshly rebuild motor and they were lean prior to the rebuild. all new gaskets, everything torqued to spec, only thing i can figure is something to do with the injectors? are there larger injectors i could go to?

So. im not a brakes guy, i can replace them but trouble shooting i dont know sh*t. So here it is: My right rear wheel grabs occasionally. seems like after ive been driving the truck it gets worse. the pads are worn but not dead yet, i get alot of pulsing when its grabbing and practically none...

I can t get the timing on my 3.0 right. I don't have the tool that ford says is needed. Please help.

Got an engine for free. and my tired 173k miles motor isnt pulling very well these days so this is what im doing the motor was sitting in a field wrapped in plastic. so i was optomistic. wrong. got it mounted up on the stand and pulled the heads. the intake ports all had rust in them and the...

Like really lean. here is the sitEation. did a tune up in july. plugs, wires, coolant flush, oil, ran some fuel system cleaner and fuel filter, then ran Shell 89 for about 3 months. in Feb i put a cat back dynomax on it and a K&N intake and filter. the plugs that came out in july were fine no...

Im getting about 17 to 18mpg's per tank on my 3.0. my gauge dont work so i just fill it up and do the math each time. thats not too bad really i guess considering im running winter tires and all that. dont know what im getting highway or city. so is that about normal for that motor/year? what...

well i can but it would cost more than i paid for the truck it seems. is there a different route to go for a 3 or 4in lift on a 2000 extracab 4x4? 1500 just seems a little high. what would my shopping list look like to lift the front?

So Custom intake with K&N filter and dynomax cat back system. do i need to have my EFI remapped? what would be the benefit of having it tuned? worth the money? im looking at putting some 31in tires on it currently. how much would this help me with moving the larger tires?
