    2007 GT overheats when A/C is on (even at freeway speed)

    I tried replacing both fan speed relays. Today I tried starting the car cold. No fan. Then turned on the A/C with fan speed on 1 and the fan came on at the low speed I guess. I turned the A/C dial all the way up to 4 and no change to the radiator fan speed. Just in case the fan was spinnin...

    2007 GT overheats when A/C is on (even at freeway speed)

    I took the car to a local shop today and they verified that the fan is not turning on to high mode. Is the controller/fuse/relay that handles this part of the fan or is it somewhere else? If I replace the fan with the GT500 fan is that controller part of the fan?

    2007 GT overheats when A/C is on (even at freeway speed)

    I looked at the radiator through the grill and the hole in under the front bumper last night and I didn't see any debris on it. But I did notice today that when the car was already warmed up after driving for a bit and being parked, I started it up and the fan immediately came on. I then...

    2007 GT overheats when A/C is on (even at freeway speed)

    Hey Guys, Lately it's been getting hella hot here in Cali and I noticed the other day that the temperature gauge creeped up on an especially hot day, (upper 90's). Of course I had my A/C on. Normally my car sits with the temp needle right in the middle, (let's call this 50%) at all times. If...

    Engine New Engine - Retune Necessary?

    Hey guys, Haven't posted here in a while but my 07 GT threw a rocker a week ago or so and since she had about 175,000 miles on the engine I just decided to put in a new rebuilt one from Ford. I had the Ford Racing Bullitt intake and a tune that a local shop did with the Diablo Predator. I'm...

    Suspension Lowering, Suggestions/advice?

    Why don't you do yourself a favor and give the guys at Maximum Motorsports a call? They'll spend all day on the phone with you if you want and they won't try to sell you a bunch of crap you don't need. Tell them what you plan on doing with the car and they'll steer you in the right direction...

    Suspension Lowering, Suggestions/advice?

    Dude it couldn't be any simpler. You literally just turn a knob. Clockwise makes it softer, counter-clockwise makes it stiffer, (that's what she said :rlaugh:). Sorry couldn't resist.

    Suspension Lowering, Suggestions/advice?

    Personally I would go with the H&R race springs. That's what I'm switching to, (H&R race springs with Koni yellows). This is the combination that was recommended to me by Maximum Motorsports and I trust those guys completely. I think those super sport springs are too severe of a drop. I go...

    Suspension Lowering, Suggestions/advice?

    My suggestion to you is to NOT cheap out. Get the MM caster/camber plates, not just the camber bolts. Also bite the bullet and get the Koni yellow adjustable shocks and struts. It may be more expensive now but you save yourself from paying more in the long run. I have the Tokico HP struts...

    2008 Mustang "Predator" What is it?

    Sorry dude, but this looks like something that the previous owner did himself. And what's with the "Turbo"? :rlaugh:

    Suspension Lower Ball Joints

    Lower ball joints? Are there upper ball joints? :D Dealerships blow. I have a mechanic that I've gone to for over 10 years. You've got to find someone good and then hold on to them like grim death.

    My rims are F'd!!!

    Thanks Jet. Yeah I showed my car to America's Tire and they said it looked like the gouges were caused by the "duck head" from the other shop not using the correct spacer when putting the tires on. So I e-mailed them pics and they're actually being really cool about it. They're trying to find...

    My rims are F'd!!!

    Thanks for the info. I have 5-spoke rims and the gouges are on every spoke on every rim. So how did this happen? They don't need to spin the tires to do an alignment do they?

    My rims are F'd!!!

    So I get a Maximum Motorsporst camber kit and tires put on my 07 GT today. The mechanic isn't able to align the car because of the rim savers on the tires. But I have lifetime aligment at Firestone so I take it there to get aligned. I get home and look at my rims and they look like this...

    Smoked taillights

    Those Raxiom's are indeed nice but a tad pricey in my book. Here's what I went with: http://www.ebay.com/itm/230860387756?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 The non-smoked ones I got were from the same company. Fit and look great I just don't like how bright they are...

    Smoked taillights

    Hey guys, I recently bought a set of 2010 style taillights for my Stang. Looks great other than the fact that they are noticeably lighter than the stock lights. So much so that it bothers me. So I am thinking of buying a set of smoked tail lights. I think it will look great with my dark...

    Thanks Osiris but I already tried replacing the bulb. Didn't fix the problem.

    Semi Burned-out Taillight?

    Hey guys, I noticed that one of the 3 brake lights on the left side goes dark when I step on the brake. It lights up fine when the headlights are on and stays lit but doesn't go bright when I use the turn signal. I tried replacing the bulb but that didn't fix the problem. Any idea what's...

    Electrical problem

    Hey guys, A couple of days ago a police officer kindly pulled me over to inform me that my rear license plate light was out. I bought a bulb and tried changing it but that didn't fix the problem. I also noticed that my side bumper lenses aren't lighting up either. Is there a fuse that...
