    Been away for awhile. Does AmericanMuscle still give members here 10% discount codes?

    In the past I remember AmericanMuscle.com gave Stangnet members 10% discount codes for purchases on their website. I have a huge purchase to make and wanted to ask if they still offer this discount to members here. I've been away from the forum for a long time and definitely out-of-the-loop on...

    Paint Peeling Around Trunk. Is This Common?

    I have been searching online forums for answers to a factory paint related question that I have, but so far I have been unsuccessful. On my 2007 vista blue GT I just noticed a vertical line several inches long where paint is flaking/peeling/bubbling on my trunk located in the area near where...

    Odd Noise Coming From Front Of Car...

    I have an odd noise that appears to be coming from the front of my car in the general area of the front right wheel area that I am hoping someone may help me pinpoint what the problem is before I replace everything up there. The sound in particular is difficult to describe so I will just say...

    Factory Set Restriction On TB Plate Under 3k RPM??!!

    I have just read a post elsewhere claiming that Ford 4.6 Mustangs come set from the factory with a throttle body plate restriction based upon engine rpms. Specifically, the claim was that when the engine is operating at less than 3000 rpms, the throttle body plate is restricted from opening...

    SICK Of The Monster-Truck Look... Lowering Springs For 265/285 Tires.

    I am looking to drop the "monster-truck" look that Ford had designed from the factory on my 2003 Mustang GT. My particular question involves finding the correct set/brand/type/etc of lowering springs that will give me a "sport-car" look, yet NOT rub against my 265 front tires, and 285 rear...

    GMP Mustang Diecast

    Has anyone here collected a foxbody mustang diecast from GMP? I looked online at pics of them and they looked absolutely stellar, so I purchased three different versions. I just received a 1991 Blue Street Fighter 1/18 diecast just now and there is definitely a noticeable difference in scale...

My dipstick shows much higher than the max line after an oil change (yes I drain both plugs, and filter and fill 5 quarts etc) and I am hoping to get the correct part number. Searching the topic here on the forums...

    GT & LX Doors Interchangeable?

    I have a 93 GT which I need to replace the entire passenger side door. Would a door from a 90 LX (4cyl) fit correctly? There really isnt any differences between the two doors, correct? Thanks in advance.

    Toxic Fumes Coming thru Vents W/ AC On?

    I have a 2003 GT and would like to know what would be a likely cause of having an odor very similar to piss blowing thru my vents while I have my AC running? A quick web search revealed (not from a reliable source) that burning freon produces an ammonia-like odor which supposedly can occur when...

    Radiator Air Deflector On 2003 GT?

    Just bought a 2003 GT and noticed when looking under the front of the car that there is no plastic air deflector for helping air flow into the radiator. The salesman said this model year doesnt come with one. My 93 GT has one, as well as every other car I've ever seen, so is he right, or am I...

    IAC Valve or Motor??

    When its time to replace the IAC, I see that theres the IAC "valve" and the IAC "motor". What needs to be purchased to resolve the idle and surging issues? I am running low on funds as I have already spent enough money to fix this idle issue on my 1993 GT to have bought a GT500 already. I...

    I have a problem with my car stalling out immediantly after starting. It starts up fine, but stalls out even with the accelerator depressed a decent amount. I disconnected the negative battery cable in the hopes of a possible issue needing to be reset, but that temporarily fixed the stalling...

    Stalls In Park, Idles In Gear

    Would like to know why my 93 GT will stall while it is in Park, but will idle fine once I shift it into any drive gear. I noticed this problem immediately after I had an issue while driving one morning where my positive battery cable somehow worked its way off of the battery and killed all...

    AARRGGHH! AOD stuck, car stuck

    The stock AOD in my 93 GT has been increasingly difficult to shift thru the gear selections lately. Going from Park to OD, OD to reverse etc, etc takes a significant amount of force exerted to my shifter. When this problem developed, I also noticed that my selector would not guide into the...

    AOD Overdrive Whining/Howling

    I did a search here, as well as google but havent stumbled onto an answer yet. I have just began hearing a whining/howling sound that occurs only when I have my AOD in overdrive gear.
