Well, a girl made an illegal u-turn in front of me, and I almost got around her, but she hit the passenger side of the car...the entire side. Front fender, door, door sill, rear fender, rim, and suspension. It's not totaled, but I'm nervous about keeping a car with a rebuilt suspension on 1...

Most semi-custom tunes turn off the rear O2 sensors so that you can run an offroad x or h pipe. You will need to re-install the stock airbox, and return the tune to stock, in order to pass smog tests, otherwise you will have a "readiness failure" for the O2 sensors being ignored. I had this...

I had this same noise. Brought it to the dealer with separator plate buzz TSB in hand. They agreed with my opinion and ordered the parts. Was fixed free of charge under warranty. Now I have a quiet car that doesn't embarass me everytime I leave a parking lot. It's worth it to have it done...

TSBs It depends on whether the item is covered under the warranty. My rear axle whine was repaired as a warranty repair. Some dealerships will share the cost, some will not. You also have leverage as a buyer. If you find an issue before you test drive that may be related to a TSB, then...

TSBs The other thing you could do is look at the TSBs (you can search for them on this site) and keep them in the back of your mind when you take it for a test drive. Mine had a rear axle whine within the first 3 months of owning it, and it was brand new. Turns out it was the differential...

I have a 2007 GT with the 5 spd manual that rattles/buzzes when I accelerate on a cold start. It seems to line up with the description in this TSB. Has anybody else experienced this? Have you had the dealership perform the service to correct it? How much did it cost? Not sure I want...

Ford Dealer Installation... I have a 5 speed manual with the 3.31 ratio on my '07 gt, and I'm interested in going to 3.73s. Any idea how much it is (ball park) to have them installed at a Ford dealership? I would go with the FRPP gears... Thanks!

Does anybody know a reputable metal finishing place somewhat close to upstate NY. Everything I have found has been commercially oriented. I want to have my 18" silver bullets refinished to become 18" black chrome. Anybody ever done this before?

Listen for the rear end clutch pack whine. I had mine replaced on my '07 GT when it hit about 6k miles. It will be noticeable when you turn into a parking space or any other low speed turn. There is a TSB out regarding it. Also, check for interior smells. Mine had a musty odor when it sat...

I attributed the smoke to running rich (I never got out to smell it and didn't pay close attention to color). I also thought it might have something to do with the tune that I have... It only happens to me if I start it up for a minute to move it, shut it down, then start it back up again...

How difficult is it to install the plates? How long did it take? The next mod I am looking at is between the UDP set and this. The UDP scares me because of belt tension issues. This one makes me a bit nervous digging into the engine when it only has 8,800 miles on it. Will these installs...

To me, chatter = stutter. But it is not the engine, definitely behind the engine in the drivetrain. The only thing that I can think of is a glazed spot on one of the friction discs, in which case it will hopefully wear itself away...

The Ford dealership says there is nothing they can do, even though the manager felt the "chatter" in first gear. He claimed I was riding the clutch, which I was not, but regardless, it should not even chatter if I do ride it. What the hell do I do now? Take it to another dealer? I have...

So I suppose then that I need to pull my CAI and tune...even though they have nothing to do with the clutch.

Clutch is chattering bad. I know the old Ford clutches had problems with humidity, but this was bad. Anybody else have this problem? I have about 8,800 miles on it is all. Please help.

Anybody have a sound clip of the stingers with o/r h set-up? I had the O/R h installed with FRPP GTA's and did not like the "tin" sound and trumpeting. These stinger mufflers sound lower, so I am curious if it might be worth putting the o/r h back on...

I had GTA's but swapped them out for the Stinger style. Both sound great, but the Stingers are definitely louder. There is, however, a significant amount of drone with the Stingers, it drives my girlfriend nuts, but I love it. Everything said, you will be ok with either muffler. I have a...

Anybody have the FRPP Stingers with the Pypes O/R H pipe? I had the O/R H with FRPP GTA mufflers and I did not like the trumpeting. I was debating putting the h on with my new Stingers. Any input on sound with the straight thru flow mufflers?

I am right there with ya. Struggled for 4 years and still don't get any respect... I believe the factory even states the 'Stang is drag limited. Car and Driver as well as Motor Trend have this info.

Sounds like an Enginerd answer to me! Well said.
