they have a truck adapter that gives you 7 inches through the extended pads.

So now he'll have to clean out whatever is in front of his truck and close his garage door!

Looks like he has about a inch from the ceiling lol

lucky for me my pole barn has a high ass ceiling. Might get these as an interim as I need a bit of concrete prep before I can do a proper 2 post.

 

[superman07]

the adapters can do less than 7 also. but they are expensive for what they are. should really be included with the damn lift for 1500 bucks.

Yeah, I know about the SUV and light truck adapter. Unfortunately, when I ordered they were out of stock on them. I'll receive mine next week. In that picture I had the 2" and 3" rubber blocks stacked so the adapter kit should be perfect for the F-150.

Kinda good/bad news from my first track day. Ran 4 successful 15 min runs today at a 2.1 mile technical course. On run 3 I hit 271 degrees by the end of the last lap. Shut her down and brought her in to see the rear view camera stopped turning on, and the outside running lights wouldn't turn off. Let it sit for 10 min and turned the car back on and off and everything worked fine (strange). Last run I ran with a passenger, which felt like the fastest run of the day, starting at 140, then hitting 240 degrees by the end of the run before ending it for the day.

I never expected to track this car but after doing it I fully expect to want another shot at it next season so I'm going to pull the trigger this winter on a solution. Despite the heat issues it ran beautifully and the grip was amazing. I never tracked a car before, so by the 3rd round I was settled in and cranking on it pretty good. There was another 350 Track Pack car there that ran without issue, so wanting a viable solution is in the cards for me. Hopefully they release something soon.

End of the day I'm happy with how it ran knowing the issues.

That's great news. Happy to hear it. So if you guys called around 9/12 then that's what about four weeks? If the estimated timeline was 6 to 8 weeks then should we be optimistic about hearing something by the end of October? Solution/Kit wise?

Gt 350 Gentelmen! I've been studying the problem here for well over two months ... I hv a special purpose built for my Gt350 to be.... And luckily was for warned from the onset of this problem.., in fact I was told that the tranny can default and lock up causing severe damage... and there's no warranty ... If you read the fine print it appears to protect the manufacture by improper use or by the fact that Ford Performance Parts are not warranted! I had one of the Performance group Engineers acknowledge All I new ( great honest guy) and told of the 2 month out external pump for the Transmission ect... He had no privilege as to warranty or cost! I knew there was a big problem when the 17s came standard with the coolers .... God Bless all the Greedy Dealers with there 20k 25 k 30k ... Added mark ups .... They saved me I think from paying too much and then owning a 80 $$& k problem! Best to all of us .... May Carroll always be remembered .....

This kinda looks like English, but it doesn't read much like English.

Okay, how'd he make it past captcha?

 

[Turbodurbo]

Hi Steve That's why I'm Turbo I guess ... Hopefully it will assist others tho .. I really prefer not to revel all I've learned as I hv close ties to SA and others .... Best for you as I see you have your 2016 baby... is to discredit me as you have and hope for the Best ! I wish you the best as true car Enthusiast do with each other!

 

[Steve68]

Happy birthday to you as well, and word to your mother. May your A1c tests be low and your post count exceed 7 before the end of autumn.

There are only enough tacos to feed Hank.

Great news, so a fix for the trans and diff is finally out and wil only cost tech/base owners $650 which will include the pump , hoses, brackets, radiator, install and a full unlimited mileage warranty .

Thanks for the heads up
