I’ve put a few miles on it now. If you were on the fence about getting one, do it. Car definitely responds faster & accelerates quicker. Before if I wasn’t perfect starting off I got the clunk & you could feel it. Not anymore, 0 clunk & no slop. Smooth as can be to 100, haven’t pushed it any...

Got the shaft in today. It was a pain in the ass doing it on jack stands. I was surprised by how heavy the stock one was when I went to pull it out. New one felt about 1/3 as heavy. Driveline clunk is gone starting off & the car feels a little more spunky.

I’d start by giving the throttle body & good cleaning & maf too. Might not do a thing but worth a shot. I’d also hit up Lito & get a tune from him. It made a big difference on my car that has only & intake & axle backs. So it could make a gigantic difference on your car with everything it has done.

I came across a new in box ford racing drive shaft & a safety loop for $350 so I scooped it up. Waiting for a nice day to install it. Seems that thoughts on them are all over the place but for the price I figured it was worth a shot.

I just got a tune from him. Took 2 days

It’s probably a safe bet to assume every rubber bushing is worn out. I’m going through this with my 08 & so far everything I’ve addressed has needed it. Rear control arms, front control arms, sway bar links, motor mounts. All were shot. Took care of some of my noise & rides better but my strut...

I believe it’s the same as it has been. Www.tudyno.com

I haven’t added them to my car but I added some to a z71 I had a while back. I just cut & clamped but they worked perfect. The good clamps that circle the whole pipe are rock solid once tightened up. As far as resonators they did help some but if you are trying to quiet down a loud exhaust they...

Agreed. I bought tunes from Bama only because I needed a tuner & wanted to be able to at least drive it. My tune idled fine but didn’t seem smooth if that makes sense. Got one from Lito & idle is rock solid & seems to pull way smoother.

Got my brakes installed & bled last week & it wasn’t too bad of a job. Car rides & stops much smoother now. I’m sure the ones I took off were the 180k originals. I also found a pair of magnaflow axle backs locally for a 100 bucks so I snatched them up. Took off the muffler delete pipes & put on...

Your slave cylinder eyelet didn’t break did it?

I’m running Pennzoil syncomesh. It seems to shift well but I can’t promise you it’s better then new Mobil atf. I’m also not making much power. Just a intake & tune.

I can tell you I’ve been trying to get my new to me 08 to shift better. I installed a Barton shifter, bmr motor mounts, vacuum bled the clutch, changed the tranny fluid, & installed a billet slave cylinder eyelet. Made a ton of difference. I feel much more confident banging gears.

Have you vacuum bled it?

So I replaced the slave cylinder eyelet with a billet one as mine had some play in it. That seemed to help the shifting a little more. I got a tune from Lito. It’s definitely noticeably smoother than the Bama 93 race. I also installed the BMR motor mounts this afternoon. Those were definitely...
