Any common problems with the 2002ish Ford Lightings?
I know the 5.4’s are known to have spark plug problems, anything else to look for or watch for on these?
- LightNing lol
i think the sparkplug issues are caused by improperly torquing the plugs and damaging the threads in the head. That is the only other input I have.
uggggggghhhhhhhhh how the hell did I eff that up. I need to proof read.
Haha, I’d PM lightmeup or w/e his name is, he’s got that silver one
Also the O/D controller likes to go out
His is for sale too. Runs low 11’s with room for more.
good power can be made.Burnout machines for sure.
Did you try looking up the TSB’s from Ford?
man he’s sellin it huh? i love that truck.
www.modularfords.com has a Lightning section you can look through to find more common problems. From what I’ve heard they’re solid trucks though.
What happens is the AC drips condensation into the spark plug, causing it to rust out and blow out of the head.
That and ford didn’t put enough threads in the head.
I have owned a bunch of modular f150’s with no problems. Mine were all 4.6L cars, not 5.4L
