Looks very low mileage. Keep me posted if you do the chains. I'll be replacing my head gaskets, guides and chains over the winter.
I will be watching. Love your channel.
Me too
I was just going to say to check out your LSC video before thinking it's "sweet." 😁 But hey, a bit of effort and yours will be back in top shape, Alex! Used to see a bunch of those here in Detroit back in the day.
Haha just watched ur video with Sam. Get the jaggggg tune it!!!!!!
I was going to ask for a LSC crossover
"I'm not in the market for a car right now."
Hoovie: *Visible confusion*
Now I normally don't do this sort of thing, but I got into a little streetlight battle with one of these on a wide, 6 lane 45 mph road in Fort Lauderdale. I was in my old '85 Porsche 928S2 5 speed and it was a good race [we only took it to about 60 mph]. That 928 would run high 13 second quarters @ 105, so these trucks are quick.
Woooo watch out!!
They are quick, had a buddy in HS who owned one and he would put gaps on everyone!
Spoken like every single old Porsche owner. Why don’t you weirdos just put them in a glass box and beat off to em, since actually driving is out of the question.
@@Blazerghost.....If I went there, just as a cordial visit, I suspect that David Long would welcome me into his shop.
And throw your silly stupid obviously drunken ass out the door!
-Do you have any other stupid things to say, other than that, for some reason, you seem to feel threatened by guys with old Porsche's?
Took a Ford salesman job between real jobs when these were new, fast as hell and supercharger whine is music. Very clunky transmission, stiff clutch and handled waaay better than expected.
I haven't seen a bone stock Lightning in a condition that good in a long time. I wouldn't dare ask the customer if they'd want to sell it. That truck is clearly well taken care of and you don;t just let something you've looked after for so long go that easily.
I don't know why you wouldn't ask customer if he would sale it what he going to say no. lol
Things were beginning to get a bit disturbing with Hoovie and the Lightning....Glad you separated them when you did!
Pretty creepy, I thought. Stuff like that is why I unsubbed from Tyler's channel. A whole load of folks seem to like this stuff; I guess I've got a different sense of humour.
@@2H80vids I am pretty sure Richard was joking, and so I hope you did as well.
@@bankait_rex1860 I was! I enjoy his channel very much!
Oh hell yes. Metallica rocks. Forever. "Ride The Lightning" is an excellent recording.
@rainbow dash aka dash-e ACDC isn't metal though
Old Metallica. I am not a fan of the new stuff.
My grandfather had one of these when I was 19 in 2003. Man it was so bad ass! He ended up selling it around 2010 or so with 30k miles for about $20k. I seriously wish they had kept it in the family. I got to take it around the block only when I installed a K&N air filter for them good for about 15HP increase over the stock 360HP. I got to ride in it with him back in the day on the highway and he opened it up! Man when that supercharger kicks in it really throws you back in your seat! The sound it made was amazing when it was spinning up.
Man that’s a good memory
Great cars make up for a great memories like this
Fade to Riptide Blue... For whom the bell tolls, Hoovie's credit card marches on! \m/
The metal references have been strong the last two episodes.
Common issue is solder joints break on connection for odometer! This deserves to be fixed super easy to do!
Cherokee XJ's have the same issue. Lights go out on the gauges. Smack the dash a couple times with your palm like an old television set. They pop back on for a few days.
@@kewrock ahhh yes the ol Fonz trick!
I have a 2000 model Lightning in silver. I love the truck, and always have.
This body style and engine combo of the Ford Lighting is the best one ever made! I you have one, have fun and enjoy !!!!
Love the 'cluster' audio insert Mrs Wizard! 5:13 😂😂😂
I didn't even catch that the first time lol
@@Tugboatpb I did as soon as she said it…… she’s trying not to be racist
Hoovie and the Lightning - Still a better love story than Twilight. I agree, if I had the bag of money I would throw it at the owner.
I absolutely LOVE the Ford 4.6/5.4 modular V8s that are the 2-valve version. They are some of the most durable and reliable motors out there. Police cars, taxi cabs, and limousines have often gone half a million miles on these engines.
Agreed. They did the 5.4 dirty by putting that three valve garbage on it.
@@forresttaylor2757 well Ford was being forced to compete with Dodge and Chevy which were putting out higher horsepower engines (like Hemi). Many buyers just look at the raw horsepower numbers without any thought to where that power is on the PowerBar, how much actual usable torque is down at 2,000 RPM, or how durable an engine is. This is why Dodge sold so many Hemis even though we all now know they just don't last. So Ford had to up their game and they already had the 4 valve 4.6 for the Cobra with well over 300 horsepower so by having the base engine upgraded from 2 valves to 3, that really increased airflow and bumped up the HP numbers for both engines. Interestingly, I haven't heard of any major issues with the 3 valve 4.6 motor used on the Mustang or Explorer compared to the numerous issues with the 3 valve 5.4 motors used on the trucks.
Alex from LegitStreetCars owns one very similar to this one. He told a story recently in which he tried to rent a trailer for his Lightning, and he explained that the guy at the U-Haul desk refused to rent a trailer to him because the U-Haul employee INSISTED that the Lightning was not an F-150!
I saw that. What a dumb butt. I'd say, enstien tell me what my truck is. I'll bet you 1000 bucks that's it's a half ton. Come on brain trust. Lol a bunch of stupid people in this world.
5:12 "Cluster" i listened to this like 10 times lol I wonder what Mrs wizard actually said...
That one has been well preserved. We have an Expedition here at home and has the same illumination issue. Other than that she's going still strong.

I used to work at a SVT Ford dealer in 1999-2001. These were awesome trucks. Extremely powerful for it's time, but extremely light in the rear.
Such nostalgia seeing that dashboard. I learned to drive in a 2001 Supercrew. Took no time at all to learn the layout of the radio and climate controls. Easy enough to use without ever having to look at the dash after that.
Hell, it did the same to me. My first car was a forest green '97 Mustang.
I remember the old Ford SVT Lightning pick-up truck. They were popular back then.
I have always loved these trucks! My Aunt has this exact same SVT Lightning sitting in her garage with only 4k miles. It was my late uncle's husband's 'baby' that brought brand new.
So your aunt was in a polygamous marriage with your uncle and another man?
Yeah I'm confused
🤔😟🤪🤷♂️
@@georgelord8729 chill
MORE HEAVY METAL REFERENCES! The truck is here for timing chains? The owner's name wouldn't happen to be Alice, would it? :D
Some day I'd love to get a step side 01 F-150 and do a supercharged swap.
I thought I was a gear head, and there's Hoovie putting the moves on the Lightning and his already in second base.🤭

Pervie’s Garage...
The first time I seen one it was racing a mustang, and I can't forget the supercharger whine when he got into it. Probably one of my favorite truck as well as the GMC Syclone and Dodge SRT-10, and Chevy SSR, and even the chevy 454 ss.
Great trucks, owned one for 7 years, sold it in 2017. Only regret was selling it.
This is one of the nicest colors I have seen, yes it is a well maintained car. These lightnings are becoming very rare.
Awesome truck, overall great condition. I wish they made cool single cab short beds like this now in days from factory. But i noticed that the right rear axle seal looks like it’s seeping along with the pinion seal.
IMO, this is the best truck Ford ever made.
I didn’t know Wizard was a Pantera fan. Makes him even that much cooler
Hey Wizard & Mrs Wizard, this is one sweet truck, thanks for showcasing it!! 👍👍🙂
Nice truck .
And it was fun to see Hoovie around !
Thanks
Great taste in music bro! And that's really cool looking and performing truck. Hard to believe it's 22 years old, the design has aged very well. Still a very fast and powerful truck even on today's standards, at least as far as I'm concerned. This particular truck has been very well cared for, definitely worth a premium compared to cheaper, more used SVT Lightening trucks, if you can find one. Good for the owner for keeping on maintenance, and actually driving and enjoying the truck.
I had a v6 of this body style. I loved that truck. It had the SVT seats. you need the cover on the driver seat because it suede sticks you to the seat.
My cluster went in and out too.
Just picked up a 2002 Lightning with 52,000 miles a few months ago. What a dream to own and drive!
I have a 2001 Taurus SE Wagon. I bought it afew years ago. I live in the Northeast and we have brutal winters. I wish I had this engine setup!
If the owner is asking to have the brakes checked and all looks well, I'd guess it's overdue a fluid refresh as that would make the pedal seem soft. Lovely looking truck even today! :-)
I like to crack the bleeder valve and let it gravity drip for awhile. Do that once a year to keep things fresh
This truck is very, very cool. I have a fond memory of riding in a family friend's F150 around when this came out, as a kid.
These were the first supercharged vehicles (factory) that I got to work with in my dealership days. The sound was amazing. Then the SVT Cobra came out... Amazinger!
Thought Wizard would be more of a Motorhead fan because, he's a true motor head.
Stone Dead forever, RIP Lemmy.
That is a real beauty!!! I know its been a year. I love the one I bought back in 2000. Its birthday was 02/00 and all the lights and odo comes on with the key. as this beautiful specimen of Ford creativity mine has been kept in the garage the entire time as well. 100K is incredibly high.. mine has 28,800, provable..... anytime. Just wish I saw the vid when it was posted I WOULD have sold my 23 year old, very low milage to Scott. Dang, always late .
A very nice looking truck. Hard to believe it’s 22 years old!
Your car previews are getting so good and cover every detail!
My neighbor has one...man I love hearing that rumble by!
guess the oil leak on the right rear axle was nothing?
I had a Silver 2000 back in the day. What a ridiculously fun truck!
I had a '98 Mustang back in the day and the number of identical parts bin components is impressive
Supercharged
@Car Wizard - I had the same issue with my Ford regarding the odometer. Simple fix. The solder going into the circuit board goes bad. A simple resoldering fixes it. Mine has been good for years now.
I love that body style F150. I had a 2001 4wd regular cab 10+ years ago. Amazing, super reliable truck. Truck finally rusted away, and the trans went.
Though the motors are rock solid, Ford could never get right using better metals for their vehicles😒
Mrs Wizard is the “interior expert”
Wizard & Hoovie ❤️ Best buddies 4ever
I’ll take this over a Raptor any day. Lightning’s are badass!!!
That's a really clean example of a 2nd Gen. I am the original owner of a Gen 1 Lightning which I bought new in 1995 and it has less than 70k Miles on it.
Who knew The Wizard was a metalhead?
Very nice truck.
But a question: What was that darkness on the end of the passenger's side rear axle that I noticed you didn't mention? A prior leak that was maybe already fixed?
Learned to drive recklessly in a 95 lightning back in 2004 when I was 14 lol. Great memories of my uncle and I
When I was a young guy way back in 2008 I bought a 2002 f150 with 106,000 miles here it is 2024 with almost 300,000 miles 😊
* Leaking axle seal on the passenger side!
I stopped at that point to come down here and see who,and how many,caught that.
That truck is on my bucket list of SVT cars to obtain. Cobra and Lightning. Back when ford made proper bad ass trucks
It sure looks like he missed that leaking axle seal at 8:23 when he was inspecting the brakes
I saw the wetness and after he recommended replacing of the rear brakes I figured he will put it in the quote as well. Probably got distracted with Tyler showing up and wondering how he's going to highjack the video. 😂😂
What a beauty! Hoovie's and Wizard's "I want" dance- that was me ever since I saw Brian O'Conner curb smash his L lol. And in 2017 I finally found my '04. Snuggling and stroking the L - totally acceptable. I'm guilty of the same behavior.
Very smooth with the “white face *cluster*” at 5:15 lol. Thanks for the video Wizard, have a great Friday.
love the lightnigs and the harley daverson editions that year
One of the coolest pickup trucks ever made!
The only year the F150 came stock with side exit exhaust was in 1997, the first year of production for that particular bodystyle of F150, and it was a single tip only....
One of my favorite styles of the mighty F150!
Cruise controls were one of the first things to show wear in my old Ranger. They look immaculate in this truck
I got a 5.4 3V. 170k miles and kaboom! Got a reman engine with updated timing set. If it does another 175k miles, I'm good with that.
Great video 👍Wizard passenger rear wheel hub looking wet !
Great video quality! Love the 4k.
The mileage readout on the cluster is a common problem on these Fords with an easy fix. All you need is a soldering iron to reflow the soldered connections for the display. It took less than an hour even to remove and reinstall for a slow poke amateur like me doing it. So easy even Hoovie could.
I have a 2001 F150 long bed work truck package no frills with 160K. Bought it new 21 years ago in Los Angeles. Odometer flicks in and out, just like this one lol!
Your taste in music is impeccable, Wizard!
Not a ford fan, but definatly the exception to the rule. Best factory wheels ever on a truck!
The odometer issue very common in that style truck. Pull it out and re-solder the odometer connections on the PCB is the fix
The curve right here it’s just perfect
I remember the first generation lightening with the 351 in it
In 99-2000 that's the one everyone wanted. These lightings, when I was in college for the first time, we're a garbage can with a supercharger. We would only see old guys driving them around all the time because they were over priced for what they were.
wasnt the rear paassenger, either wheel cylinder or differential seal leaking? that was a lot of moisture around that hub the other side didnt have.
I saw that too!
Yeah I thought that looked wet, but to be honest it still looks drier than any part of my car so 🤷♂️
Pickups is one of those American things the rest of us can't get our heads around, has less cargo volume than a van and your cargo is a lot less secure, and buying a pickup to occasionally haul stuff is a lot less convenient than having a towing hitch on a car and a trailer you can opt to use or not, or rent a trailer if you don't need often.
CHOICE. Pickups sit up higher, and yea I know SUV’s do too, but a pickup truck is something I always wanted and now have for over 20 years. I have moved quite a few people with my trucks; pack their stuff nice and neatly, secured with straps or bungee cords. Getting big items from a big box store is a BREEZE; like a very large TV. I used to get wood from a friend’s brother’s property he was clearing out. I gotta move coming up this weekend as a matter of fact. No, pickup trucks aren’t for everyone, but for my needs, it suits me well.
Besides the step side. These are beautiful
We used to touch all the solder points on the instrument cluster to make mileage illuminate again.
that truck has different headlights (normal f150 lights) the lightning had its own headlights and turn signals (legit street cars lightning has the correct lights on the front) still a heck of a clean truck i loved the one i had (got rear ended and totaled it but it became the doner for my expadition lightning 4x4 build its still as fun and wild but now i can share it with family and friends not to mention it tows like a freight train
We had the 5.4 in Australia but with a 4valve set up. As long as you kept oil and fluid up to it it was a good motor, timing chain tensioners were a bit weak though
We also got the 3v version as well.
I’ve always absolutely loved the look of the F150 lightning 🤩
Hoovie, you're cray cray.
Lol.
I do agree with you on the lightning, this has been the best looking truck I've seen. There was only one in my town in Colombia, 🇨🇴. The sound it made. Brings me back to my childhood.
Pantera is my jam!!! Gonna listen walk and go hit baseballs after this!!! Merica mudder trucker
This cannot be a car ever to be owned by Hoovie. It's condition is too nice.
A dry ice cleanup under the car would restore it at a reasonable price. Clean up the corrosion and dirt.
Definitely a ice blast on the chassis would do wonders.
Finally did a video on my favorite truck
That dub was pretty good almost didn't notice it :-P
Always loved the idea of the lightning. Such a cool truck.
My Dad had a 2000 f159 xlt extended cab 4×4 flareside with the 5.4 .
Odometer has a bad solder joint on the circuit board. Easy fix. Mine did the same thing.
They also have special svt white face gauges in the dash and it’s got a boost gauge stock! Lol back in 2000 that was kinda cool
Great taste in music wizard! I agree top 2 for sure
I love both those bands Car Wizard.
Excellent taste in music and definitely PANTERA
look like the right rear outer axle seal had some seepage , love your show
Also, the Ford Raptor with the 6.2 L V8 engine is an excellent pick-up truck to buy. They are the best, as of today.
Sweet ride !!!
Nice truck. I've always liked the Lightenings.
My dad owned #225 2002 Lightning it also was that dealerships first SVT sale of 2002, yeah for what it was it was a vehicle you either knew what it was or seen tail lights. and with just a tune/n ECU chip, boost pulley upper or lower, and an intake you was in the 12's. He owned it from Jan 1st 2002 clear up to 2014 when he traded it in on a 2012 Boss 302 Mustang one of 252 made in Yellow Blaze of that year.
Biggest weak point is Ford didn't use forge connecting rods but the same press powder type that the regular F and E 150's used. And a lot of Lightnings had holed blocks due to that, it also was the reason the 03-04 Cobras got the forged rods right from the get go due to this.
