    Anybody Use Engine Heaters in Winter? Any Advice

    Its pretty damn cold here on LI, NY now and as usual i'm struggling with getting my 5.0 to heat up. I work close to home and the engine is just starting to warm up by the time I get there. I know this is not good for a bunch of reasons. I thought about using an electric heater over night...

    Paint color history question

    Hey, I have a '92 red LX 5.0 hatch and I just hit a deer today. My hood is shot and I went to the junk yard today to look for a new one. They had one in another yard that he said was red but it is from a '90 car. Is there any chance that will be a different color red than mine? Were there...

    Will higher thermostat help this......

    I do get warm air out of the vent eventually, but it is not "hot" by any means. Especially compared to other cars I've driven. I get about 15 mpg city with a stock 125,000 mi motor and headers. I actually can get up to 25 mpg on the highway though, so that's why I thought the bad city mpg...

    Will higher thermostat help this......

    My stock '92 has always run cool. (I dont have a real temp guage, this is based off the stock in the guage cluster). It always kinda bothered me, but now w/ the ridiculous price of fuel it kills me. 95% of my driving is very local and I am getting horrible gas mileage because most of the time...

    Alternator? Connection? Battery?

    I dont know what year car you have, but how do you put the belt back on when you replace the alternator. Do you install the alternator first and then put the belt on using the automatic tensioner?

    Alternator? Connection? Battery?

    Thanks guys. I would love to take it to Autozone for the free test rather than my usual rip off mechanic, but the closest one is like 15-20 minutes away and I'm not sure if the car will make it there. If I drive w/ no lights, radio on or anything, will my engine keep running? Or will I be...

    Alternator? Connection? Battery?

    For a while my voltmeter has been goin up and down. Every once and a while i'll notice my battery idiot light on and my voltmeter would be down below charging. At night I would notice because my head lights would dim. Without faile though, it would always go back up a few seconds later. It...

    Could My T-5 be Going @ 117,000 mi.?

    I don't know what the hell the noise is, but I no longer thinks it's the tranny or the drivetrain at all, for that matter. I found out that it makes the noise when i make a sharp left turn in gear w/ gas given (say making a left turn from a stop sign). I know my ball joints are shot, but does...

    Could My T-5 be Going @ 117,000 mi.?

    I have noticed lately a slight rubbing sound, (not so much a crunching/grinding sound) but it definately sounds like metal on metal, coming from what seems to be the transmission area. It seems like it only makes the sound in 1st through 3rd gears, but it doesnt make the sound all the time...

    Which MAC Cold Air Induction is Better?

    MAC seems to have 2 cold air induction kits that would work for my 92. One is the standard mount and the other is the fender well mount. Both are around the same price.....just wondering which one is better, if any. Thanks

    Which is better....Ford Headlights or Reproduction?

    Thanks for the feedback. Is it a bad idea to just buy the lenses as oposed to the whole kit that includes the housings and everything? Im just worried that if I take apart my old lights to use the backs they will fall apart. Any input thanks.

    Which is better....Ford Headlights or Reproduction?

    I need new headlights for my 92. Im surprised the light can even shine out of those foggy, yellowed crap lenses. I see on 50resto.com they have Ford replacements and also "reproduction" ones. Just wondering what are the better quality. I dont want the bitches cracking in one week from...
