I kind of figured this truck would end up on this channel one day! 1993 Lightning! Lol! Had it in the back of my mind! About time! I was a kid when these were brand new in the 90s.
The Triton V8 has a better overall tone over the Windsor V8. A street cam and longtubes would help though. I give this one to the "Harley-Davidson" Lightning. The old school one is sweet though.
Oh hell No! This is still way too quiet, these sound no different than a stock Ford Ranger. And that's a damn shame 😕 Owners should have just run open manifolds which is hands down the best setup and provides the perfect amount of back pressure and improved gearing ratio and oil viscosity on these Ford Lightings.
Those trucks were NOT straight piped Straight pipe = no mufflers, no catalytic converters and no resonators. In other words, NO restrictions in the exhaust system.
That old red Lightning, man, you just dont see too many of these anymore! Tried to buy one new in early '95 but couldnt make the deal happen. 25 thousand was big money for a pick up back then, lol. They sounded good stock, at least back then they did and were prime candidates for all the aftermarket mods,, great time to be a Ford nut!
Been enjoying these videos since I found out about this channel! But just a tip, I think you should do a before and after the mufflers/exhausts changes
I give that win to 93 Lighting with 5.8 clean truck by way luv side pipe setup & 03 Lighting is ok but needs more power under hood to match exhaust setup amazing job on Harley Davidson scheme to owner.
@@ThatOneFordDude HD F150s are special edition trucks. They did share some components with the SVT Lightning, but the 2000 HD edition wasn't even supercharged. It's a nice truck, but it's not a Lightning and it's not made by SVT.
The 5.8 sounds deep. I like that the rpms snap back and don’t hang up like all the new crap does.
The Rev hang is horrible. It's emissions related; eyeroll
@@NXT_LVL Agreed!!
Both sound good but definitely different takes on the V8 sound, to be expected given the difference in design. But that red Lightening was CLEAN....👌
The 5.8 needs to lose those restrictive cats🤔 gotta let that beast breathe
The 5.8 sounds like an v8 race car lol

I like that old school Ford lightning, now someone needs to bring a 454SS Chevy truck!

Straight pipes mean no cats lol

Oil viscosity 😩😜🍇
Harley editions aren’t lightnings! Great video!
This is actually a Lightning that has been custom designed to look like a Harley Davidson Edition.
Haha, I actually thought that with it being a step side single cab. Thanks for the reply and great videos always!
That 2003 is gorgeous 😍😍😍

Ya, should be nothing but piping straight from the manifold/header
@@11D7-n8d Exactly!!
Both the 5.8 Windsor and 5.4 supercharged Modular V8's sound really good. My answer is both because I can't decide. 🤷🏿🤣
V8 baby

Thanks for the 👋 hello !!!! Swing by so we can put a sticker on your rig
My old career center teacher is rebuilding the engine on his lightning and looks exactly like the red one.
Two beautiful trucks, they sound great.
My dream trucks

They usually do.
Sometimes they do
SC Wine is the best 😅 even though id prefer the red 93 any day

It's a 2000 not a 2003.
2:07 is the time where they start up the truck, just for y’all lazy people out there.
8k more subs then you up to 200k subs
MENGA MINT!!!!
🥇
The Harley Davidson is not a Lightning is just HD
It is 100% a Lightning, just has a Harley Shamu paint scheme that the previous owner had done.
You're correct. The HD F150 is not a SVT vehicle so it's not a Lightning.
@@JohnDove You're wrong as well in this particular instance, try again.

Just like the newer lightnings ? I don’t believe those shitty “trucks” have an engine.
