Looking back at the history of custom trucks, several companies that formed the foundation of the custom sport truck industry have maintained to this day. One of those companies is Belltech Suspension founded out of the old Bell Auto Parts store. Belltech helped innovate bolt-on lowering suspension using corrected and improved geometry.

If you look at most modern day technology, designers and engineers are usually focused on making things smaller and more efficient. This focus really becomes apparent when you examine how manufacturers currently seek to improve the design of classic truck suspensions.

The Air Mass Meter is a very helpful device in making it so. This device, which is also referred to as the air flow meter, measures the mass of the air coming inside the engine. Air mass is air having exact temperature and moisture. The meter measures this and sends the gathered information to the engine computer or ECU, which uses it to determine the right amount of fuel to be delivered for combustion. Having an efficiently-working Air Mass Meter has its own advantages. One is that it allows a more efficient combustion process for improved emissions. Car owners are more than able to meet the law's requirements on vehicle emission limits. Another advantage is that it helps the engine stay in shape for a longer period of time. The Air Mass Meter is a plastic tube that is attached to the vehicle's fuel injection system. The air that passes through this meter is almost always filled with harmful elements. That is why regular inspection of this part is always a must.

In today's auto market, customers are getting more and more focused on getting a reliable vehicle. It would seem that the days of getting a new car every three to five years are gone (at least for the majority of the population), so quality studies and surveys about different vehicles are proving to be crucial in buyers' decisions. And that's good news for Ford because a recent study by J.D. Power and Associates marks the current lineup of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles as one of the best ever.

Everyone loves a clean car, but washing a car is actually dirty business for the environment! Did you know that it's actually greener to take your car to a commercial carwash than to wash it at home? According to International Carwash Association washing your car at home actually wastes 80-140 gallons of water and the toxins from washing your car end up in your storm drain, polluting rivers and streams. Washing your car at a carwash only consumes 45 gallons or less and commercial carwashes are required by law to treat the water so it doesn't pollute the earth. If you do chose to wash your car at home, make sure you find eco-friendly products. You can purchase biodegradable soap at Simple Greenor make your own! Also, try not to use your driveway, but wash your car on your lawn. This way the toxic water can be absorbed and neutralized by the soil. There are even ways to wash your car without using water at all! There are some carwashes that use the waterless technique, which includes a solution that is sprayed on the car and then wiped away with a cloth. You can search for a waterless carwash in your area; just make sure they use eco-friendly products. You can even buy your own waterless car wash products on the Freedom Waterless Carwash website. Let's have a sparkling clean car and a sparkling clean planet! Think Green When Washing Your Car If you must wash your car at home, choose a biodegradable soap specifically formulated for automotive parts, such as Simple Green's Car Wash or Gliptone's Wash 'n Glow. Or you can make your own biodegradable car wash by mixing one cup of liquid dishwashing detergent and 3/4 cup of powdered laundry detergent (each should be chlorine- and phosphate-free and non-petroleum-based) with three gallons of water. This concentrate can then be used sparingly with water over exterior car surfaces. Check out the About.com website for more info! Waterless Car Wash Products are Good for Small Jobs One way to avo

Freedom Waterless Car Wash products are still leading the way as a top Waterless Car Wash product which contributes to a greener, more eco-friendly planet. I have yet to use a better product to date. Freedom Waterless Car Wash has once again raised the bar on clean and added a Tire Shine/Dash Protectant to boot! First of all, If you have an older neglected vehicle that hasn't been cared for regularly; let's say about once a week, then waterless car washes is NOT for you at this time. You will need your surface stripped of any and all oxidation with a cleaner wax and conditioned with a Deep Caranuba Wax in order to regularly use waterless car wash so please don't try a waterless car wash and expect big results without having done so. You won't get the intended results and your valuable time will be wasted. For my vehicle, a Pearl Red 2005 Nissan Maxima SE, I applied Freedom Original Waterless Car Wash. I'm an "if it ain't broke…" kinda girl-Original has never let me down. When I wash my car waterless, I apply and clean my tires and rims first. Just in case I get a little Tire Shine spray on the paint around the wheel well. Then I spray a generous amount of the Waterless Car Wash directly onto the cool surface and wash the surface with a microfiber towel to wash off the oxidation. This will leave a haze which can be polished to a brilliant shine with a clean, dry microfiber towel. It's that easy! Since I like a couple coats of wax on my vehicle, I use a spray wax to seal the Freedom Formula which lasts about 1-2 in dry weather conditions.

No matter how much power your truck makes, it isn't any good unless you can put that power to the ground. The 5R110 transmission from Ford has backed both 6.0L and 6.4L Power Stroke engines and is generally considered to be a pretty decent transmission. But like anything else that's stock, there's always room for improvement to handle bigger power output.
