I will be dropping off my car mid to late february to Mo's Speed Shop for some work on the car, this is what will be happening.
Eaton Install
4.10 Gear Install
Real Oil Pressure, Wideband, Boost, Trans Temp Gauges
4" Tips and Rear Cat Delete
Handheld Tuner
Front Bumper Scuff*(Hopefully)


While hes tearing the car apart can you guys think of any mods or things that can be done. My mods currently are JLT intake, DR oil separator(Passenger), JLT oil separator(Driver), Big 3 Upgrade(KnuKonceptz), FBM LCM, R1 D/S Rotors, TCE SS Brake Lines

thanks for the help

about the oil pressure gauge, looking at the ford shop electrical manual it looks as if the gauge is a real gauge, but has a pressure switch with a fixed resistance as opposed to a sender...is this right? i was thinking of using differant resistors to see how the gauge responds...has anyone tried this ?

search "gauge" in advanced search, titles only, and read away, now back on topic;);)

Don't waste your time......

Take a good look at the OEM oil pressure gauge. It never moves with an increase or decrease in RPMs. The gauge & sending unit is just a switch.... any oil pressure and the gauge reads normal.

Easiest way to fix it is a real gauge.

Replacement Gauges – Autometer (2 1/16)
Oil Pressure – 4327 includes 2242 sending unit.
Voltmeter – 4391

Recommended you replace both gauges as they are slightly different then the OEM and will be noticeable if installed side-by-side.

I understand bud! It took me since 08' at a slow and steady pace to get mine where I wanted it. Good luck with your setup. I'll probably be at Marty's in the next couple of weeks. I'll be checking our your ride! :beer:

Did you get the rear head cooling mod? I'd suggest this for sure. Also you need a trans cooler with the 4.10's - Cheap insurance

I was thinking about this also but right now not in the allowable spending limit, dont need my wife chopping off leg jr. for anymore money being spent. But i will monitor the trans temp gauge once i get the car back to see if the trans cooler is needed or if im still good for a while, but as for the cooling mod, opted to not do it......
