    Cruise Control Button for Line Lock

    Has anyone actually used the cruise control button for a line lock on an S197 Mustang? I am trying to do this, and I have seen some info saying that you can tie into the tan/orange wire from the clock spring for this. I will be installing a small 2 position rocker switch in the map light...

    M/T Drag radials and skinnys for a d/d?

    So, my car NEEDS tires. The rears were getting pretty bald, and then when winter hit I had to rotate them to the front so that I had tires with some tread on them for traction :( Now, Late Model Restoration has a sweet wheel/tire package with Race Star wheels fats and skinnies with M/T drag...

    One Thing Leads to Another...

    So, a friend got new Ford Racing 4.10 gears for his '05 Mustang GT. The guy that was installing them says that he thinks that there are already aftermarket gears in his car, he thinks that they are 4.30's but he's not sure. My friend tells him to install the new gears anyway. So, Ron brings me...

    One QUICK little crossover!!!

    Well, I was very surprized while getting onto the highway today. In front of me was a boxlike crossover that looked like a Scion Xb, but it had a Ford blue oval on the back of it. I couldn't see the model, because that emblem was covered by one of those magnetic dealer plates. It did also have a...

    First Snow

    Well, today was the first significant snow that my Mustang has seen this winter. I drove about an hour away from home and back in the snow. It wasn't too bad, but my back tires are about bald, so I took my time and was very careful. I'm hoping to be getting a toyota 4x4 in the next week or so so...

    Last test & tune of the year, first time out for me...

    Rather than further take over ViperNuge's thread I figured I'd start my own....lol Well, my day at the track was ok......I was a bit dissapointed in my times, but everyone who was on street tires was having trouble with wheelspin both on the launch and shifting into second. I got in 3 runs...

    Suspension work over

    Ok, so I scored a new set of FRPP lowering springs for my '05 GT today for $100 (Thanks Zack). Now I have 2 questions: 1 - What is the minimum that I must do to install these? Do I need to replace the shocks, or can I throw them on as is? I do plan on replacing the spring isolators with the...

    SCT Livewire

    Anyone here using the SCT Livewire? If so, how do you like it? I've been researching this for quite some time, and decided to go ahead and get one and try it. Initially, I didn't think that they supported custom tunes, only canned tunes. ( the old information on SCTs website didn't say...

    New Parking Brake Cables

    Well after the second time of having my parking brake freeze up on me, I decided to change the cables. I was parked on a pretty big incline at work the other day, and I made the mistake of using my parking brake. (might as well call it an emergency brake, since it is USELESS for parking in the...

    Well, I changed the oil in my '05 GT for the first time yesterday (No, it's not the first time the oil has been changed since new :rlaugh:) I used Royal Purple and about fell over at what it cost....almost $100 for an oil change with the filter. But hopefully it'll be worth it, and it will help...

    Anti-Bling

    I've never been one for blinging out my vehicles, and now I would like to make some anti-bling changes to my mustang. My car has very little chrome on it, but I would like to darken what little is there. I thought of just replacing the emblems with painted black pieces, but I don't think that...

    P2020 Intake Manifold Runner Pos Sensor

    So, I've had my '05 Mustang GT for just over a month now (just long enough for the used car warranty to run out :mad:) and I've been noticing several of the common problems mentioned in the TSBs. So far I've experienced: TSB 06-3-13 - Fuel fill slow, or difficult to fill - It takes me like 20...

    Returning Mustang Owner

    Well, after being into the offroading/rock crawling thing for awhile, and being without a Mustang, I took the opportunity when my daily driver Toyota Tacoma was about to throw a rod through the block to trade it in on another Mustang while I could still drive it to the dealership. I have had...
