    98-GT: Bad Window Regulator ... again

    Thanks guys. The window was stuck down. All I had time to do over the weekend was pull off the door skin and remove the regulator unit (the arms + the motor). With that, I can force the window to stay up by propping an 18m wrench between the window and the cross-bar on the interior of the...

    98-GT: Bad Window Regulator ... again

    Thanks for the reply, Chris. That's good advice. If I do end up putting another electronic regulator in, it will be OEM for sure. My only other thoughts on the matter were: 1. Since this will be my 3rd regulator, maybe I'm fixing the symptom and not the problem. That just seems...

    98-GT: Bad Window Regulator ... again

    This will be the third time my driver's side window regulator has gone bad on me. The first time, it was a broken arm on the regulator unit so I picked up a replacement (from a 96) on eBay and swapped it out. 8 months later,the regulator motor on that unit went. I figured it was my bad for...

    Antifreeze Won't Go Away

    Hey all, Searched around and couldn't find anything on this. If I missed it, I apologize in advance. Over the last six months, I tackled a couple of issues with my cooling system (heater core replaced, intake manifold replaced, and a couple of hoses here and there). All is working well...

    Got a flat tire today, need advice

    My ride was up for inspection and I HAD to get new tires. Being totally broke, I was looking for the best deal I could find and not short change my car at the same time. In the end, I was looking at around 800 to put new tread on. After reflecting on it and window shopping on eBay, I...

    A difficult question for knowledgeable people

    Probably stating the obvious here, but BE SCARED. I recently had the front end apart and for like a week after, I was just so afraid that I'd be driving down the road and would get a smack in the face from my air bag for no reason at all. I would completely disconnect the battery and replace...

    AFS Wheels (EBay) - Comments?

    I looked at AFS very hard but ultimately went with OE Wheels on eBay for my Bullitts. (Had a little bit of trouble but it's still being worked out.)

    Stolen: 2000 Mustang GT...

    What hidden **** have you found in your used Mustang

    Uh huh, yeah right. What's that the story you plan to give when you're pulled over??? Just kidding :D My car came stock with no surprises except for an odd cologne smell that took 2 + years to dissipate. Now I can't help but want to hurl when I smell old spice.

    true blue GT.... what rims?

    My ride is white and I was really torn between black, chrome, or the one in between. In the end, I went with black and the chrome lip. Deciding factor was looking at Steve McQueen's ride from the original movie: http://www.bullitt.blonde-intrigue.com/

    Forgot Bumper Foam

    Thanks guys. I guess I was just being lazy; thanks for getting me back on track. :D I drove her to and back home from work today without the foam and noticed some funky air vibration/noise which I think was air from the road spinning around in the now open space behind the cover. Foam will go...

    Forgot Bumper Foam

    Hey all. This week I replaced the header panel grille and had the front end of the car apart. Last night once the job was done, I smiled brightly at my accomplishment only to look around in my garage and see the front bumper foam piece still sitting in my garage. :( I can't seem to fit it...

    Automatic Trans, slap off the line

    I honestly don't know. Until recently, I just didn't know how or have the confidence to do this work myself. I always took her in to the shop for work and serviced on schedule, so if I had to guess, I'd say the ford dealership most likely did the trans fluid around 60K maybe? She's at 90 now...

    Automatic Trans, slap off the line

    Hey guys, Not sure if this techie enough for this forum or not but wanted to give it a shot just in case. I've recently noticed an oddness with my automatic 98 GT (entirely stock). At times, when I hit it semi-hard from a stop sign, it feels almost like she's not in gear. I get a little rev...

    Doh! Broke the Grille

    Came across the information I needed and thought I'd post it here for future searches. 94 to 98 (perhaps newer years as well) emblems are connected via the emblem, to a small metal bracket, to the header panel. The header panel is made of plastic and extends across the full front of the car...

    Stolen: 2000 Mustang GT...

    :( Sorry to hear about this. I had a car stolen before and it's a really really really really bad feeling. Just reading your story makes me upset. Here's a few thoughts/suggestions: 1. It's OK to be bummed out because what just happened to you is a horrible thing. But you'll get over...

    Need 5 Performance Modifications

    The first thing I'd do is a take a real close look at your intake manifold and look for leakage or any trouble with coolant loss. If haven't already read about it, Ford was involved in some litigation due to the fact that the plastic intake manifolds they put on some stangs were cracking. I...

    Doh! Broke the Grille

    I searched and wasn't about to find anything about this. Sorry in advance if I missed it. Last night while working under the hood of my 98 GT, I mistakenly leaned against the pony emblem and broke her clean off. Attached to the emblem is a backing along with three pieces of plastic that...
