    05 Doorhandle issues

    I am in the process of replacing my outside driver door handle for the third time. First two under warranty. Also had passenger side replaced under warranty. They don't return fully when you release them. This time it started sticking all the way out and had to be pushed in to get the door to...

    My Color dash update

    I am thinking of changing my 05 GT dash to the My Color / info center cluster. I have founds lots of threads on other forums about it, can't find one here. My dealer doesn't have any part numbers for it. Anyone have the numbers or a link to a how to thread? Thanks.

    My Color

    Has anyone converted to the My Color option on an 05+ GT? I've seen a few posts but they don't tell me much and usually link to other forums that tell less. I have an 05 and have the wiring harness that later models don't. Just wondering where the parts can be gotten cheap and step by steps.

    Changing S197 Fuel Filter

    I seem to recall a how to thread about changing out the fuel filters in the S197's, but I cant find it. I know it is more than just an R&R and done. Anyone remember where this thread is?

    New (to me) battery issue

    I seem to recall pasts posts about dead battery issues. My car suddenly decided to have a dead battery out of the blue. It is, like everyone elses car, well cared for and maintained, only 23k on an '05, so this is confusing to me. What has been the cause of some of the other issues? I have a...

    Wheel Size Change

    I just upgraded from the OEM 17" aluminums to 18" FR500's. Should I get the speedo recalibrated. Dealer says it would be a good idea to give them $100 to do it.

    What happened to the TSB list?

    When I select the S197 TSB list I get a 'Page not found" message. Did we lose it with the site upgrade?

    Does anybody know?

    Does anyone know if the rocker channels on a GT are the same as a California Special? I have a GT with a CS rear bumper cover and have been looking for decent molded mud flaps since the install. The only thing I found were the sucky GT500 worthless POS's. CJ Pony Parts has a new set, front...

    What spark plugs are you happy with?

    Gonna suck it up and change out the plugs. Only 19,000 on an 05GT but it is time. What plug are people using and are happy with. Obviously it will have to be a one piece. Thanks!

    Splash Guards for CS or GT 500

    I just put a CS / GT500 bumper cover on my GT. I had Ford molded splash gurards but they don't fit the new cover. The ones Ford offers as an accessory seem kind of whimpy. Anyone out there find something more appropriate?

    Bumper Cover

    Due to an unfortunate incident with a boat trailer, I have to replace my rear bumper cover. I thinking of upgrading it to a California Special style. Has anyone done this conversion? Any issue? My body shop thinks the exhaust may not match up. I have an aftermartket catback Magnaflow...

    GT500 Chin Spoiler Install

    Some time ago I saw a thread for a "How To" install of a GT500 chin spoiler on a GT. I have searched the threads but nothing is coming up. Anybody remember this? Thanks in advance for your help.

    UDP Install Question

    So I am installing a set of Roush UDP's. I am at the install point with the harmonic balancer and am using the OEM installer. The pulley goes on withing an eighth of an inch and all of a sudden the installer falls off. After some inspection, it appears that the threaded end of the installer...

    Question for Bigcat!

    Just got my Roush UDP set. My question is regarding the new crank bolt. It has a flange around it, but it is nowhere big enough to do any good as it will fit right through the opening for the crank end. Is there a thrust washer from the factory that needs to be reused?

    I appreciate your write ups and have a suggestion for your next one. Delete plates! What do you think?

    Next Mods

    I am looking at what my next mods are going to be. I have CAI, cat backs, SCT tune and Steeda shifter. I am thinking underdrive pulleys, throttle body maybe delete plates. Looking for suggestions/advice. Not really sure what delete plates are or what they do.

    New shifter

    Just bought a new Steeda Triax shifter for my '05 GT. Looks to be a pretty basic install but does involve dropping the drive line. No info in the instructions about the torque setting when I reconnect the driveline to the tranny. Any know what that setting is or a link on the old WWW where I...
