    Dyno Vs Mail Order Tune ?

    My experience with mail order tunes has been disappointing. I have done several on the Mustangs I've owned with little results that justify the cost. I was some what happy with the PI swaped 96 gt I once had with an auto. It really made a huge difference to get the auto shifting faster and...

    Odd Problem After Installing New Battery

    Hello everyone, it's be a very long time since I have really participated on stangnet.com but I have a strange problem I may or may not have already resolved but it bothers me enough to to post up what happened to see if anyone else may have already ran into this and knows what happened. Last...

    Should I Buy A Mustang

    Great post! I totally agree with everything you mentioned. I could have had a 2011 over my 2010 when I bought it but the 2011 had a bit less miles and was also a few grand more than I wanted to spend because I was paying cash. Looking back, I sometimes regret it but my 2010 coupe has so far...

    Anyone Else Get The Latest Airbag Recall Later From Ford?

    When the service writer asked me which model I had I td him it was a GT and he said that they did not have the parts for the GT on the V6 models. I thought they may have carried the same airbag in any model or trim Mustang. That is what both dealers told me. I had hoped that he knew when they...

    Anyone Else Get The Latest Airbag Recall Later From Ford?

    I actually received it about three weeks ago but I was in the middle of a kitchen renovation in my house and didn't have the time to get on here and post. The letter I got is a recall notice and states that "my local dealer now has the parts to repair my vehicle". I called two Ford dealers in...

    Gt350r Vs Z28 - Wow

    I've been wondering for years when GM will ditch the push rod engines and go modular. They have been able to squeeze out some good figures from them but I bet it is getting harder and harder to find ways to meet emissions standards each year which is one reason why Ford phased them out.

    How A Brand New '15 Ecoboost Turned My Life Upside Down

    Hi there, I do not own the new Mustang yet but have a 2010. I wonder if the same manufacturer of the airbag is the same as the S-197 Mustangs because I received a letter in the mail 6 months ago informing me that my car was part of the now infamous Takata airbag recall and the letter basically...

    Gps In A 2014

    The Raxiom unit is hands down the best option and super easy to install but the Nav option model is expensive. If you wanted some flexibility Crutchfield sells a adapter that will allow you to install most full size touch screen Radio and GPS head units but by the time you buy the adapter and...

    Mt82 Complete Gear Lock Out Even At Idle.

    captchas is 100% right on this. Your looking at a new clutch and all the supporting cast that comes with the job to do it right. I guess I have been lucky. I probably do not drive my cars as hard as some do. I have owned now 4 Mustangs over the years and had to put a clutch in two of them over...

    Engine Smokes...

    PCV on the NPI 4.6 is on the cam cover. Are you certain is blueish smoke and not white? Car using oil? I would think if there was a issue with water getting into a cyl from the water ports you would have a miss-fire but it's unlikely to happen. The NPI 96-98 4.6L had issues with valve seals. I...

    Wrecked Mustang - Quick Question

    I have done several Fox Mustang front end collision repair back in the day. coletrickle46 is right you will need everything he listed. Usually when someone brought me a car this bad I would tell them they were better off finding another GT like a roller chassis or something of that nature and...

    Engine Control Module Ecm (limp Mode) Mystery Help

    From your initial description it sounds like a bad electronic speed control motor. If you read your owners manual it explains what happens in the event the motor goes bad. Generally there is a engine service light accompanied with the wrench icon. These cars use a "drive by wire" type system...

    Drivetrain Stiff Clutch Problem

    My 2000 GT had the same issue. When I pulled the Trans I found that the clutch fork pivot ball was wearing into the clutch fork. You can get the clutch pivot ball from summit racing and buy a new frpp clutch fork. I had the same issue with my 87' GT too. Just one of those things and one...

    Led Light Door Panel

    Sounds like you have it figured out. If I were you I would not accept red-light racing challenges. The fun your having is risking your life and other people around you not to mention traffic tickets and insurance rate increases from the point. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

    Alternator Or Battery? Need Help

    I would ohm test both the neg and positive battery cables, disconnect them from both ends of course. I would also check the positive cable where it junctions into the fuse block and examine the battery terminal side of the cables (conectors) for the least little bit of corrosion can cause...

    Before I sold my 2000 I returned the car back to stock tune so I could transfer the tuner to my 2010 and we drove the car untuned for a month or so and the car never did throw a rear o2 code. I had a off road mid with no cats and I thought for sure it would throw one. I even hooked up my scan...
