    Car stalls after starting...Help!

    For the past two days, my 2001 GT w/ 78,600 miles has been difficult to keep running right after I start it in the morning. After sitting in the garage all night, my car turns over as normal, but then stumbles and stalls. I can only keep it running if I keep my foot on the gas. If I drive...

    Throwout bearing noise

    After searching all the threads on here and on corral.net, I am still having trouble fixing the noise coming from my throwout bearing in my 2001 GT. I've tried adjusting the firewall adjuster in both directions, and I've sprayed white lithium grease at the TOB as well. Neither solution has...

    serpentine belt replacement

    My serpentine belt is cracked in multiple places and it's time for me to replace it. I have never done this before, though, so how do I do it? I know I have to release tension on the belt first via the belt tensioner, but how exactly is this done? I thought I would take a couple of digital...

    Best Price for SLP Loudmouth? Has anyone found a vendor that can beat $399.95 and free shipping for the SLP Loudmouth catback (99-04 GT) from LMPerformance? These used to be $349.95, but the price appears to have jumped by about $100 at most places.

    Changing differential fluid

    How often should I change my differential fluid if my car is a daily driver and I don't race it? My 2001 GT has 62,000 miles on it and I have never changed the fluid. Is this OK/normal? The owner's manual doesn't recommend changing it anytime soon, but I was just curious. My buddy changed...

    Stock spark plug longevity

    How long before I should install new spark plugs? My 2001 GT has 62,000 miles on it, and the plugs have never been checked or replaced. The car seems to run just fine. I am a spirited driver, but I don't drag race the car or often take it over 4,000 rpm. I use regular (87 octane) gas as...

    Help with leaky Hydroboost

    My car has been slowly leaking power steering fluid for the past month or two, and the Ford dealer informed me that my Hydroboost unit is leaking and needs to be replaced at a cost of $775. Is this reasonable? Is there a cheaper source for the Hydroboost unit? Is it easy to replace by myself...

    Remove corrosion on Bullitt wheels??

    I drive an '01 GT and over the years my Bullitt wheels have become corroded behind the spokes. Is there a practical way to remove this corrosion without damaging the wheels? Is there a way to remove it without machining and repainting the wheels? Thanks for your input.

    Good brand for long tubes?

    I'm curious about installing long tube headers on my 2001 4.6GT. It has a stock motor; all I've changed so far is the midpipe and catback to Spintech units. I'm pretty happy with the combo, but of course, there's always room for improvement... What is a good brand of long tube headers? I'd...

    Anybody have pics of these wheels on a '99-'04?

    I've always liked this style of wheel, but I don't know what it would look like on my 2001 GT. Has anybody installed this style? This particular wheel is made by Edelbrock, but it also looks like an old Halibrand style to me.

    Where can I find Mach 1 dash/console parts?

    I'm looking for the silver-colored dash and shifter console pieces that come on the Mach 1 (I think they are also part of the "interior upgrade" package for '04). Who sells them? I know I could go to the Ford dealer, but is there an online retailer who sells them for less than the dealer? I...
