Hello everyone, I've had a few other threads, but I figure I should go ahead and start one here. I've always wanted a GTP, just never had the need to get one or spend the money to get one...until my wife became pregnant with my second kid. I have a single cab F150, so 2 kids+wife+me=no happening. Anyways, I picked up this 2000 GTP with 230,000 miles on it:
Threw together a CAI, fixed quite a few vacuum leaks, changed all fluids, rotated the dog bones, and she ran GREAT. Just had a random cylinder 3 misfire.
New tires:
I kept consuming coolant, and had this random misfire, so I decided to pull the lower intake and change the gaskets...
Cleaning everything, modding the lower intake, and reassembly:
I left the rotors alone, even though there was some teflon missing already:
Test drive after that seemed fine, but when I got on it, I suddenly felt like I was towing a house. Then, when I left off from getting on it, the engine would die. I figured I had a clogged cat, so I went to a local exhaust shop and had the cat removed, as well as the U-Bend. Then the engine started knocking, bad.
