I post video of my projects, on this channel for family and friends and anyone who finds interest in them. Recently I got into Foxbody Mustangs. But I dont exactly limit my videos to that.
I find this TH-cam channel the easiest way to share my antics with others.

I decided to build my own custom ford 9" rearend for my 65 mustang. I have no idea what I'm doing so if you what I do it's at your own risk. Probably should wait till this series is done just to see if the things I do actually work in the end. If you have any suggestions on this build, go ahead and leave a comment. I could use all the advice I can get.

YESSSS! Finally, I found the right video. I'm planning on getting the same headers, but now with borla atak dual tips with borla over axle pipes. What do you think about this setup?
@@victorf.4599 I'm sure it will sound great. I did mine for the hp gains mostly.
Hi, why did you decide to clean, did you have any symptoms?
@LewandowskiDamianManager yes my o2 sensors were to far apart on the graph. During my data log at idle, that indicates a bad injector I also had a vacuum leak before that. So on the 2014 mustang there is a o2 sensor on each bank and if one side is more than 5 or 7% apart from the other while at idle it means something is wrong and you shouldn't be making a tune until it's fixed. My tuner found this issue when I sent my data logs. That's how I learned about this.
@@GillettesgarageThanks. Good video btw.
Ive also been chasing that tick. Saw another video where it was caused by a baffle in the valve cover. The sounds matched mine, but mine also sounds like its coming from the flex plate and not the top of the engine. Still love fords though.
Use rust defender it will never rust again
Definitely gonna seal it.
U never hooked up fuel line in the engine
What ever happened to Tony ? Does anyone know
Last I knew he was having some health issues. They put him on total t to try and help but I never heard anything else. I think he closed the shop
And stiffed is all
Ha ha ha real funny 😁 please click the button and donate to the channel so I can buy more parts. 😆
These videos are the only thing that gets me through the tough days.
I have a video in process but it needs a good ending still.
Any update…I have a v10 making the same noise.
I decided it's not the engine and it's something with the transmission. Someone commented they fixed theirs by replacing the transmission and I'm not wanting to spend the money to do that. So I'm just gonna let it tick. Ibwent through the engine and determined the engine is fine. So I'm just gonna drive it like this.
@@Gillettesgarage thank you I appreciate the response!
Has to be your wrist pins
I know this was done a while back, but the center to center length for the lower control arms is 17 3/4" and adjust to your preference from there.
Yeah I’m just now noticing that yours aren’t BBK, either way, the concept Is the same. Thanks so much for all of the information. I’ve subscribed to the channel and expect to see a lot more videos on s197 coyotes. 😂😂😏 THANK YOU!
Thanks for the sub. I will eventually put out another video on the nitrous install. I work full time so my videos come out alot slower than other channels.
The mid pipe, I heard you say you made it. Is that one of the cut and clamp mids you can buy online? I’m looking to do the same thing and trying to figure out the best way to acquire the parts.
I think you're talking about me deleting the cats that came with the kit. Injust used 3" exhaust pipe from Orielys if I remember right.
www.americanmuscle.com/stainless-power-long-tube-headers-performance-connect-1114gt.html That's close to the kit I used the item number is one off. Maybe it's a newer version.
@@Gillettesgarage ok 3” I have a 3” BBK AFTER cat xpipe right now ( no 02 bungs) my question is, can I just re use this pipe or do I need to purchase a separate shorty?
@@Gillettesgarage also no welding? You just used clamps? Sorry for all the stupid questions, this will be my first set of headers.
If you use the cats that come with it. You shouldn't need to weld anything
Did you do an entire set of LTH on a gen 1 yote by yourself?! That’s legit lol. How long did it take?
Took me one day to install them. then the next day to finish it up. Probably 6 hours work. It was pretty easy really.
I've got a 2000 v10 with a 5 speed stick. I've thought about installing this system, but before this video, I was up in the air if it's worth it. I've changed the plugs had my exhaust system fixed just to find out I have a exhaust manifold leak. As it warms up it gets better. But as the truck has just under 200k and for what a newer truck would cost. I've thought about the last few weeks I would rather fix this truck up and know what I have vs spending 15k or way more just yo buy a used truck with 150k if your lucky.
It's alot of work to do the headers that I can tell you.
Is this the 5th gen quick string kit
Yes NEW 5th Gen QUICKTRICK QUICKSTRING - 4-Wheel Alignment wheel-size: 15" - 20" Wheels Toe Bars: Up to 38" Tires Add QuickTrick Steering Wheel Holder (54.00): QuickTrick Steering Wheel Holder QuickTrick Extensions 3/4" (12) (38.00): QuickTrick Extensions (additional fender clearance

@@Gillettesgarage thank you!!
Keep up the good work! 💪
There's a couple links in the description.
Hey man I see your using all team z stuff and I have a question. I also have an 89 with team z kmember and 12” solid a-arms running 96-04 straight spindles and strange coilovers. Should I be using longer a arms? I can get it within clearance on an alignment rack but should I be shooting for more camber over stock? I see your using the 13” adjustables, I really prefer solid but I wonder if 12” is way too short? I’m also ripping sway bar link tabs off the arms… 😅 thank you for your videos
This video is two years old I ended up putting spindles and breaks from the 01 mustang I have sitting around. And eliminated the bump steer kit. I did end up adjusting the a arms to get the camber and caster set. But I don't know how close to stock a-arms ended up. I did go with whatever the stock setting were. I should note that this k member and whole drive train is now in a 93 notch color black. That I call the black stallion in the video names in newer videos, and I did a quick string alignment more recently on that video. With a,set up that pretty much identical to yours. I don't regret getting adjustable ones. But I don't drive mine on the street alot. I think they would hold up just fine tho.
Anybody watching this doing this yourself, couple things Get your ac system evacuated before you start. Just do it, or you'll be blessed with a blast of freon trying to cheat that passenger side line. Trust me, I know... The factory gaskets are great, just reuse them. Try and reuse as many head studs as possible and keep them oriented by the hole they came out of. When you put them back in, don't use copper antiseize, copper and aluminum together causes a certain galvanation, you'll never get em back out. Goes for spark plugs too definitely no copper antiseize. Use a small amount of graphite antiseize on the head studs and the bolts, and definitely on the 02 sensors and exhaust bolts, just everything lol You'll probably have to drop the k member, but not by much just about an inch. I had to for the set of LTH brands anyway. Use a MAP torch to heat any bolts you can't get undone most likely the factory cats, and then quench with pb blaster when hot. Do that a few times and should get them loosened. Use a plumbers heat mat to protect whatever is behind the bolts you're heating, they're like 5 dollars at home depot When you finish the job and you have any contact against the steering shaft(you will for sure with LTH brand headers) cheat the motor back over toward the passenger side a 1/4 inch. Remeber: the headers are going to expand a bit when they heat up, so if they're close to touching something cold, they probably will when hot If you are worried about getting 02 codes, buy some header wrap and metal zip ties on amazon. Wrap the header wrap around the collector and 02 bung a bit, the sensor is gonna run a bit cold with long tubes, the header wrap will help hold some heat by them and give you codes LESS FREQUENTLY. you're still getting codes no way around it. I'll update this if I can think of anything else, but God speed! Longtubes on these cars is sooo damn worth the trouble of putting them in! Get yourself a chiltons/haynes manual from autozone. They're 13 dollars and worth their weight in gold! They every single torque # and give you all the steps you need to handle literally everything you have to do on your car. They are so damn underrated.
Thanks for the well thought out comment. I appreciate it. I didn't have to drop the k member and I don't personally recommend doing that, it's wasn't necessary for me anyway. I used an engine bar from harbor freight to hold up the engine. I did however find a way to connect the passengers o2 sensor with out an extention wire. Cuz the plug is snapped to the transmission on the upper passengers side and if you're very careful and use the right hose removal hook you can get it down with out damaging it. There is slack in it after unmounting the plug. I used 18mm plug foulers to offset the o2 readings on the back and that worked ok, but didbthrow a code after wide open throttle. I did however have a slow injector I needed to fix, In the end I bought a program and turned that off myself. Injust wish I could turn off the low tire light in the ecu. But there's no switch for that. So I had to buy a gadget for it. I opted for new gaskets cuz wouldn't it totally suck to have to donit twice cuz I tried to save $30 reusing old gaskets.
What was the ticking sound???
That's still under investigation. I been driving it as it's my winter snow and salt vehicle. This spring I'm gonna check the timing chain tensioners. There alot of stuff that it could be. But one by one I been eliminating them. When I find the tick and fix it. I will definitely be posting that.
@@Gillettesgarage I had it a couple V10 back. On an excursion. I realized that it was caused by non OEM coils and injectors I stupidly installed then removed. And it left a tick sound.
If that's all it is and I almost hope thats all it is, but I could live with that...
Alright. Just had this. Replaced AC compressor and all. Tensioner pulley bearing walked on me straight into the front of the engine block. Take off the belt, see if the noise continues. Check ALL pulleys
I tried that and removing the belt didn't stop the tick unfortunately.
What are you using to adjust?
They sell a spanner wrench for it.
@@Gillettesgarage yeah I totally understand that but i haven’t been able to find one that would work with this type of nut.
That sound is either a loose spark plug, or the headers aren't tight enough
I did check those and repaired a couple plug holes. I been all through this thing on a few diffent videos trying to find the tick. It will eventually show it's ugly head. 😅
what size are the clamps
The kit information is in the description clamp sizes are probably in the ad when you search the kit number. But I think they are 3" since the x pipe is 3"
Did you ever figure out what that ticking sound was? Thanks, this video was a great look at the internals!
I haven't font the issue yet. The tick sound has changed a little tho so I'm starting to think I should look closer at the timing chain tensioner.
great design cant even drop an oil pan fnking ford
I wouldn't say can't.
Piece of pipe. Tires on..roll the car and pull the pipe through the fender an tire.
Wait isn’t paying someone to do something you yourself do not know how to do the very reason for the whole deal in the first place? 🤔😳😳😳😜✌🏽
What are you trying to do?
I am gonna turn that down for a slip fit to narrow the 9" to 42" axel flange to axel flange for my 1965 mustang.
@@Gillettesgarage that looks like it's supposed to be a butt weld with that bevel on it but there's a serious diameter mismatch. I Know about fitting and welding pipe, structure etc, but nothing about axles. Make sure face stays good and square that looks like it's gonna wander a lot under heat.
@chasenk00019 it is you're right. But it was made for 3" axel tube. Mine is a truck axel so it's 3.25. I'm gonna turn it down a little and slip fit it.
I appreciate the content, I ordered some NT555R2 same size. Hoping I can get away with not rolling I have different wheels.
Were you able to loosen the motor mounts free by taking loose the nuts through the bottom? Mine are so rusted there’s no chance I get them free from the motor itself
I used a breaker bar and loosed the nuts under the crossmember. Then later I pull the 4 bolts and removed the whole mount.
@@GillettesgarageI gotchu I appreciate it, hoping I can get mine loose without breaking the stud
Real question is what does the lug nut look like.
No
Yep same comment
Why would that be a problem the lug nuts are designed to self center, of course tighten of in a star pattern you’ll be fine
That’s definitely a Helicoil/Save a Thread insert.
What do you honestly think about the system? I can only find reviews from people who received the product free for review. I don't trust those types of reviews.
I plan to use it on all my racecars, my mustangs that I have aftermarket suspension. Which is 3 cars. This is the best option i have found, Because the kids literally kids that work at alignment shops, they only know how to do alignment on stock suspension where a computer tells them basically what to do. If you have aftermarket stuff like I do, you will hear that we did the best we could but couldn't get it. And you will be thinking well everything on the car is adjustable. The A- arms adjust the coil overs adjust. They just don't know how. So after wasting a couple hundred dollars at a couple of different shops, I found this kit and does work.
Thank you for this series of videos! I am planning to drop my oil pan from my 5.4 2V which is basically the same engine and headaches, just 2 cylinders less, and the experience you've shared will help me along when I get to that. I bought the manual from eManualOnline which is the actual Ford manuals they used for that year. In it, it says you have to prop the engine from above to remove the cross-member below, so I got 1 from Harbor Freight for $85. Question, did you get the same sized bearings, or did your kit come with the thicker bearings? My F250 just stared rod knocking, maybe even quieter than yours, so it would be helpful to know if you had to use the thicker bearings or not.
I put stock bearing back in I didn't plasti gauge more than one. The crank didn't have any damage. The old bearings were same size as the new and looked good. I determined that it wasn't a bearing but since I was there I changed them all anyway. I needed to buy two bars from harbor freight and bolt them together to make the span. I decided that it either the balance shaft on the drivers side head or its a flex plate or torque converter issue. Or it could be the cheap cheap headers I installed. Once I found out it wasn't the main or rod bearings. And that if it's the balancer I would need a new head. If it's the converter or flex plate I'm in no hurry to fix that. I eliminated the lifters and rockers and bearings and blown out spark plugs. I suppose it could be a blown head gasket as well but it's not missfireing anymore so I can say it's probably not that. When you pull off the valve covers look down at the timing chain tensioner too. Good luck with your search.
The 5.4 don't have a balance shaft I don't think.
Have you made any progress? I'm working my way into a 99 F250 with 130k. So far, I change all the plugs and gapped them to 0.054 from the 0.061 that came out the box. Pulled the throttle body to clean out all carbon, changed the EGR and IAC valves, and doing that solved my vacuum leaks back there. Changed out 2 coils and next will be pulling the valve covers to inspect the lifters and rockers. Also will look at the timing chains and gears. Also will investigate any exhaust manifold leaks I have Seafoam in the oil now and will change oil and filter in 50 more miles. Just trying to update where possible while working my way through known flaws and ruling things out.
That's what I did to. I never did find the tic so I'm just gonna live with it. I mean it could be the cheap ass headers I bought 🤪 idk 🤷♂️ it could be anything though just keep checking stuff alot of people find bad lifters.
So to update about this video, I do have noise and I believe it's because my pinion depth is wrong. So I will need to take this apart and do it again.
did you got it fix? i have the same sound in my truck
No I moved on to different projects. My next step is to check the flex plate and I'm not in any rush to do that. With this truck I have eliminated the engine as the source. But I suggest you look at the same things I looked at because on you truck it could be one of those things.
@@Gillettesgaragehave you figured out what was wrong?
Two things left to check. The flex plate and the timing chain tensioners. I don't get alot of time but this summer I'm gonna try to pill the timing cover and look there. I didn't get a real good look from the topside looking down. But I do hear that it will make a similar noise sometimes.
@@Gillettesgarage reason for asking is your sound is identical to mine but I've put a new flex plate and did timing chain kit about a year ago so I don't think that's my problem. If I figure it out I'll try to remember to update
Did you check the rockers and valve lash adjusters yet? All mine and my cams looked good.
It's a cheap kit from mmispeedshop.com/ I used 2.5" till I got under the car. It was pretty close to steering and the rear plug wire. But it's working.
What turbo kit did you get? The exhaust looks tucked under the car pretty good
Ty for this video Very informative Wish you could do a complete taredown and rebuild
Where was the green wire with black stripe coming from that you hooked ignition switched source to?
I believe it goes to the alt light in the dash and that wire is in one of the dash harness plugs next to the brake booster and master cylinder. You can put the green and black wire on any switched source if you get a 500 ohm resistor. the green and black wire goes into the dash, to the idiot light which is the resistor. So that green with black wire goes from the alt to the dash light which is a switched source. Black and orange goes to the solenoid next to the battery. The white one loops back to the alt. The yellow wire I put to a switched 12 source in a separate location not connected to the black and orange wire. I a found that a separate switch 12v source for the yellow wire that i had connected to the positive terminal on the back of the alt. Helps the regulator see a difference in voltage. Honestly though the easiest thing to do and what I did on my race car, was just buy a one wire alternator with 150 amps. You literally mount that and put the one 4 awg wire from the alt to the battery and it's done. There is provisions to run a wire to the idiot light if wanted.
