Hey guys. i got a 2003 ford lightning shadow grey 210k miles still running good. but one thing is if you may know whats wrong... my L runs good but when i try to do burn outs it takes a bit to start burning... and L are to step on it and start buring quick. i was thinking i need a full tune up.. got any ideas?

 

You need a rebuild. 210k.

 

I think it was rebuild before i got it. Im no sure. but my motor dont shake at all it run's nice but just wont burn quick..

 

there's a lot more to a lighting than jumping in and stomping the loud pedal




what mods are done to the truck? last time the i/c core was cleaned? plugs changed? who did the tune? what tires? what were the outside temps like? what were your charge temps like? i/c pump working? I can continue if need be

 

Come on 2 posts and thats all he can say, Sounds like a Troll, prolly a Chebby, or Dodger lookin' for sympathy

 

might have bought a lemon or a beat up one he knows nothing about

 

If I got a L, I would take it right out and start roasting the tires. Just saying.

 

Mine '99 has 195k and is still runs like a champ. Waiting until I do a plug change/intercooler cleaning before I do any burnouts though.

 

I went to say wouldn't. Wow I look like a jackass in that last post.

 

meant*

Yeah. That was my first thought.

 

Im a on a roll.

Thanks atleast I didn't seem that bad.

 

the truth i dont know what was done to truck before. i bought it about 1 month ago. mmm I'm currently doing a full Tune-up to it I'll update once done.

 

Tommorow morning i will take a picture of the truck so you know that im not a troll

 

then you need to stop driving it, until you know what's going on with it...

 

Glad to know you are a true owner, my apologies for the troll comment, but over the years it is common to have troll comments waste time trying to fix a non-existent truck.

Welcome aboard, if you have not done so, help yourself by searching for a reading up on common issues.

There is quite a laundry list of items to cover just concerning your question of no take off power, could be any one of 100 items or more. Like tarajerame said, don't drive it too much and do some research into what has been done so far.

With the right questions, we can all pitch in and help you get a reliable truck rolling.

Last thing, after the bug bites, the mod fever gets expensive quick, be prepared.

Good luck.
