I was reading your sig man, that's impressive! What sort of setup do you have? I have a 176k mile AOD, and it really is ****. The OD slips a bit (not bad, hasn't gotten worse in 4 years), the shifts suck, and it really is not a very "confidence inspiring" transmission, when I think about adding...

I get consistent 13mpg and under city driving. Whether I baby it or not, it never goes up. Is that bad? It's pretty irritating hearing about people getting 20+, when I don't even get 20 highway driving. (Drove to springfield and back, 330 miles or so, had cruise set on 65 the WHOLE way)...

It's gonna cost me more than $350 (including labor) to get gears put in, isn't it? That's including the speedo gear too. Like I said, installing gears is way above my talent level. Logan

And another thing, gas mileage doesn't worry me too much. I'm getting around 13mpg average city driving anyways, can't see how it could get much worse than that. :nonono: I appreciate all the help. So if a cam is out, I say this, what is the BEST bang for my buck with $350 or so? Logan

Like I said, the main reason I was looking at a cam first, is because it IS a lot cheaper to even afford a $250 cam, then is to afford a $1,300+ h/i combo. On tmoss, I believe he required an explorer or cobra lower, IIRC. He didn't do the stock lower. Does anyone have a clue as to how much it...

Just as it states, will there be any noticeable gains from switching the cam out on a stock 5.0? I have a couple basic mods (see sig), but it's pretty much stock. The reason being, Its a lot easier to afford a $150 cam (at the most) than a $1,300+ head and intake combo. I plan on getting my...

All brackets seem to be intact, the hpipe seems firmly placed. No out of the ordinary vibration. In case it matters, the car is an aod. I called a friend and talked to him about it, he said it sounds like it could be the torque converter going out. Logan

Within the past few days, I started hearing some strange noises from underneath the hood of my car. It sounds almost like a metallic vibration or rattling (it is fairly loud). When we popped the hood, it almost sounded like it was coming from INSIDE the engine, almost. When underneath the car...

Just a simple question, what is the part number or whatever for the a/c and smog pump delete? I have a squeeling a/c compressor, and it's winter so I don't need cold air, and I just put on catless pipes and cut the smog pump tube, so ya, that's worthless to. Thanks all. Logan

So I got it all soaking in wd40. I tried giving the passenger side o2 sensor a shot, but no luck on that. It just won't budge. Still waiting for my friend to get here with deeper sockets so I can give the header studs a whirl. If anyone else wants to give me some advice on what you did. Any...

So I really got under there, and I think I'm going to be able to get at the bolts. My biggest concern now is breaking the bolts. Is it easy to ghetto rig a clamp in case the header studs do break? Thanks again. Logan

I have an aod. On the passenger side there is the o2 sensor in the way, but there isn't really even enough room to get a wrench in there and loosen it. not to mention this is a 175k mile car. I'm probably going to end up cutting the hpipe off to make a bit more room. The biggest issue is this, I...

I bought some off road bbk h-pipes a while back, and have still not been able to get them on. There is only one bolt that is easy to get to, the others I simply can not get to them. Anybody have any advice? I'm not super mechanic either. I really desperately want these bad boys on my car...

I have a '91 5.0 with 175k on the odo. It's got the bone stock AOD. Well it has been having this problem for a long time, and it hasn't gotten worse. I've already checked the tranny fluid and it's all good. Basically in OD, mainly on the highway driving, whenever you gun it (basically enough for...

See, what I dont understand is you say that highway driving isn't really even feasable with the c4, yet I've seen plenty of people trapping well over 100mph with c4's. Did they just hit the traps at like 7k rpm or something? What rpm would I be at, 70mph with stock gears? Thanks Logan

I didn't have time to finish today, but Im doing it on friday afternoon. I'll have about 4 hours free. Seriously guys, how the hell do I get this thing off? Once I remove the o2 sensor, that only opens up access to one bolt, which still is so rusted I doubt I can even get a socket on to it, then...

well, I used a swivel to get past the sensor, but there are now two problems. #1, I can't figure out what size it is, the other side used a 15mm, but this side seems like it wont even fit a 16mm. #2, it doesn't seem like I have enough room. I'm having to use deep sockets since our normal socket...

Ok, so the car is up on ramps, Im under this thing, and I swear to God, there is NO WAY to get the h-pipe/header bolts off on the passenger side. One on the driver side is easy as pie (even though I snapped the bolt when I did, damn rust) but the other bolt on that should be a pain, but I swear...

What does a full tune up consist of? Im getting around 12 mpg every fill up :nonono: Granted, I don't keep my foot out of it, but I really dont drive it too aggressively now, just the occassional romp. I drive a lot and freaking filling up like every other day is starting to get expensive. Logan

Well I am about to order some 4.10's for my ride. I know I need the ring and pinion or whatever, but what else? Do I need any seals or anything? How viable is this to do for the average joe? Im not super mechanic, but Im not a lame monkey either. Should I just take it to a shop? Will I need a...
