So much for the 2001 Lightning Belt slipping problem......new question. I just recently traded it in for a Sonic Blue 2004. It was slightly used, 4k miles. I looked at the lower pulley in comparison to the lower pulley on my old 2001 L. They are surprisingly different in design and size. Crawled under the engine and noticed everything said motorcraft. So I know it's stock....supposedly? Did Ford SVT change the lower pulley from 2001 to 2004? I did observe the drivebelts to say motorcraft.
The motor sounds alot deeper and it does pick up and go faster than the 2001. I have only had it for two days so I haven't really investigated everything, but in process of doing so.
Why would the intercooler and radiator coolant be yellow instead of the usual green? Isn't that out of the ordinary?
