White Lightning

I gave up on finding a new car and BAM, one just fell in my lap! I have been wanting this for about 12 years now, still have a huge smile on my face. Still figuring out the mods and what not, only had it a few hours

2000 Lightning, 95K miles
C&L intake
Bassani Exhaust
Diablo tuner

should have the 01 and up aluminum drive shaft, newer wheels, tail ligths, etc...




I will get it cleaned up and better pictures soon

NICE!!!! A fellow SVT owner!! and boost!!!! Great find Chris. Im glad you finally found what you were looking for. Did you get a good deal?

First one I have seen under NADA retail... I think its a really clean truck, but I always overlook small stuff.

Congrats!

Dude!!! Freaking nice man!!

Good looking truck Chris. Hope to see it tonight in person if I can get there. You know what they say boost can be addictive, once you get use to it you'll always want more.

Thanks guys... and Mike, I told Jerry I really wanted a car with boost this time!

Looking good! So you want to be twinkies with him? Lol

Sick truck man!! Nice purchase..Also time for a pulley :)

once i get it all checked out and fluids, etc... changed and figure out what tune the predator is,,,, I will look into a new pulley!

Might have an aftermarket pulley already?

Could, we can look tonight

looks great chris!!!

I like it. Drove it a bit today. Needs more boost and a Puerto Rican flag hanging from the rear view mirror.

Got to go for a ride today... very nice!

Good looking truck Chris! Makes me miss mine......

Chris looks killer. I love the updated lights. Remember MORE BOOST MORE BOOST MORE BOOST!!!!

Nice find, oh about what Mike said, more boost equals rod making a nice vent hole in the block, be careful!

I hear there is a **cough** certain member **cough** (Mike) **cough** that has a lower pulley for your lightning :)

hehe

May have found my problem, had a vaccum line unhooked. Also figured out the PO had done the boost bypass mod.....

Soooo, may be sooner than you think!

More boost. More boost. More boost. More boost. More boost. More boost. More boost. More boost. More boost. More boost.

I could easily say the same for you!

By the end of the month my friend. By the end of the month.

Ok, so I know I need a new intercooler pump... no big deal its about $115 shipped and super easy to replace.

But I keep throwing the 0171 and 0174 codes ( too lean )
I have cleaned the MAF and searched and found vaccum leaks. It seems from the hours of reading I have come accross that there is a common PCV tube that goes behind the supercharger that become brittle, cracks and creates this problem for countless lightning owners. The problem is you basically have to take the supercharger off to even get to it,,, BOOO. It seems to be a recurring theme that people want to rip there hair out trying to track down these stupid codes and they are very prevelant in a lightning, and have many remedies, but most are the rear PCV issue.

So, yeah, thats where Im at now... yay fun! but did get the oil done today!

Im down for helping out Chris....Never pulled a supercharger before and would love the challenge! Let me know if you need a hand.

Thats what I need to decide, cause if we pull it, im pulling the intercooler and cleaning it as well... Ive seen pictures of how dirty they get without an Oil Seperator kit, which is next on my list!

I also might let Leoanard look at it next week while I am out of town to replace some filters and fluids and have him check it out. I will order the intercooler pump this week though, cause thats a pretty big deal to not be working

Little by little that truck is going to be put back to prestine! Good luck Chris

Thanks papa smurf! You know id take a smurf lightning any day!

Pump purchased! First mod, woooohooooo. well, not a mod, but a fix

haha, true true... toss that Lightning MAF my way if you get tired of it and decide to upgrade...
