A coil would for sure throw a code, but what about a bad injector?

5.4 3v in my truck.

Yeah I knew, that's what threw me off was him saying it went in the cam shaft hole.

I need somebody to school me on cutting and turning TTB beams. I'm thinking it might be beneficial with the lift and 37" tires. I'm going to go read FSB but has anybody here done it before?

Cut the TTB beams off, turn to your back pocket for your wallet and buy some.

Transmission shop said it wasn't the trans, but a big misfire( I didn't agree). Took to another shop where they say 20% less power on drivers side due to bad cats, but trans still problem. Replaced pass. side cats 6 months ago, so went ahead and did the drivers side. Runs maybe better, but still slips going into OD. Take it out of OD and it won't do it. Haven't taken it back to trans shop yet. Frusterated.

Yeah, I've been reading a lot of the bronco speed on FSB. There's a lot of BS on there though. The guy on pirate from Canada did some pretty sweet d50 stuff for his KOH buggy but it's real high dollar stuff. From what I've read cutting and turning isn't too hard as long as you measure everything out and know exactly how much you need to move the lower ball joint ear out and plate everything well enough for nothing to start getting stress fractures. Not something I would want to try unless I had a second set of beams to mess around with.
