    Fuel tank pressure sensor

    Does anybody know of a source for a new FTP sensor for an '03 GT? Apparently these things are unobtainium from Ford and in the aftermarket and of course my GT's in need of one. I know I could probably try a salvage yard, but I run the risk of being in the same boat as I am now. The labor...

    2024 Mustang

    Just caught the 2024 reveal on Ford's YT channel. They didn't dive into specifics a whole lot but did mention the GT will have 480 hp now. Manual transmission still available. Didn't say what the EcoBoost will have. There's a new model thats just a notch above the GT known as the "Dark Horse."...

    Chevy 2.7 turbos?

    Anybody have any thoughts on Chevy's 2.7L turbo offering? My BIL is looking at getting a new Silverado and it looks like a majority of the available listings have them equipped with this turbo 4-cylinder. Some have the V8 and the six is darn near impossible to find. He's just looking for...

    19 years and counting

    Today marks the 19th "anniversary" of owning my 2003 GT. I bought it new on June 21st, 2003 and been loving it ever since. It was my daily for its first 11 years but now only gets driven when conditions are clear. It has just shy of 191K miles on it.

    Images and avatars broken...at least in mobile.

    Not around a PC at the moment, but I'm just getting the broken image icon for avatars and pictures in the forums.

    Why isn't there a forum background pic for the II forum?

    Out on the main page, most of the other generation's forums have the little part of a drawing of that generation vehicle behind the text. I noticed the IIs and the S550s don't have that. I can understand the S550s not having one yet; it may not have been made...but I know there was once a II...

    Anyone need a Haynes MII manual?

    While cleaning out the garage today, going through dozens of boxes from our move last year, I came across this Mustang II Haynes manual: I clearly have no need for it so hoping to pass it on to someone who might have a use for it. Let me know...just cover shipping.

    2010 Expedition 4x4 - occasional "scraping" noise

    My 2010 Expedition with 4WD will randomly produce what I can only describe as a metallic scraping noise from the front driver's wheel area once in a while. It happens usually while accelerating and when I let off the throttle, the noise stops. I can't "make" it happen though, and there's...

    2003 GT speakers

    What is the stock size for the door and rear speakers in a '03 GT (with Mach 460)? I checked Crutchfield's site and it shows both 5 1/4" and 6"x8", for both locations. My assumption is that the factory speaker is a 5 1/4", but the space can accommodate a 6"x8"? Would that be correct? For the...

    '03 GT - whining at front of engine

    Quick history on the vehicle as it could relate to the issue at hand: 2003 GT, manual, 183K miles. Entire clutch assembly was replaced at 160K with all Ford components (including the TOB). Tensioner pulley/arm assembly was replaced about 8 years ago. Water pump was replaced about 5 years ago...

    2003 GT - Canister Control Solenoid

    I had my '03 GT at the shop recently getting the fuel pump replaced. The day after I picked it up, the Service Engine Soon light came on and I took it back in. They said it was now the vapor canister and the canister control solenoid. To order the parts and install them, they wanted $600, half...

    Starting to plan '03 GT shock/strut refresh...looking for suggestions

    Yet another "suspension recommendation" thread. I'm starting to plan out what I need to refresh the shocks & struts on my 2003 GT and was looking for some suggestions on what's decent out there nowadays. Currently the car has Tokico D-Specs in it which have over 110,000 miles on them. The last...

    15 years

    Today marks the 15-year anniversary of me purchasing my 2003 GT. I can remember it like it was yesterday...after locating just the right GT that I wanted, my dad and I drove up to a dealership east of Baltimore that morning so that I could make the purchase. I had to work an evening shift that...

    Cleaned my 2003 GT's engine compartment

    Over the weekend I did a deep-cleaning on my 2003 GT's engine compartment following most of the steps outlined by a video that ChrisFix did on his channel. Here's my before shot: And here's after: What a difference. I didn't go whole-hog like in the video, but covered a majority of the...

    Sunroof Drain Repair "estimate"

    Anyone out there that can give me a ballpark figure on how much labor might be involved in replacing a sunroof drain tube on a 2010 Equinox? The body shop I go to said I'd have to leave it and mentioned it could just be a matter of cleaning it out...but wouldn't/couldn't give me a rough number...

    Coolant Leak - '03 Explorer V6 4.0l

    Lately I've developed a coolant leak in my 2003 Explorer with the dreaded 4.0L V6. It does produce a spot under the vehicle, right in the middle under the front of the engine. I also see some coolant pooling on top of the thermostat housing where the upper hose runs into the housing, but it...

    Ii Wheel Cover Spotted On A Restaurant Ceiling

    Some of you, particularly in Texas (looking at you @74stang2togo ) are probably familiar with the restaurant chain Chuy's. They just opened a location in my neck of the woods recently and when I stopped in, I saw this one in their hubcap ceiling: I instantly recognized it as a II wheel cover...

    Turn Signal Issue...flasher Module?

    Another recent development with my 2003 GT is that the turn signal's behavior is a bit "erratic." When I signal either left or right, it will come on normally for a few flashes and then start skipping, as best as I can describe. So if normally it goes tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock...

    Where To Apply Silicone On Headlights

    One of the headlights on my '03 (though new) is showing signs of moisture on the inside of the lens. The headlights are new units, though they are not genuine Ford parts...they're the SVE units from LMR. This is actually the second set from them...the first set were returned under warranty and...
