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...

Does anybody have any information on engine heaters for the winter? We are looking at a pretty cold February here on LI NY. I work very close to home and my 5.0 finally heats up right about when i'm rolling up to work. I know this is not good for the motor, gas consumption and it is also not...

I have a red '92 LX 5.0 and the vehicle certification label on the door says "EP" for the exterior paint code. I need to know what exact color this is from ford. Anybody know or can tell me where to look? Thanks.

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...

I still have the stock rear speakers in my '92 hatch lx and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some good speakers that fit well and arent too expensive. Thanks

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

I have a King Cobra clutch that is only a few months old and when I engage and disengage it, it makes a creeking noise. This noise is almost as if the cable going over the quadrant is creeking. Iv'e noticed that when it rains or after I wash my car it doesnt do this. Is there anything wrong...

I Want 17" 4 LUG Cobra R Rims (NY) Im lookin for a deal on some used 17" inch 4 lug Cobra R's from the Long island NY area. Please email me at [email protected] if you have info. Thanks

My tires are shot and I'm thinkin of getting some 17" rims while Im at it? My car has the Tokico shocks/struts/spring kit on it which lowered it a little (dont remember exactly how much). What tire size would I have to run for no rubbing and modifications. Thanks.

Tires are shot and im thinkin of getting 17" rims for my 92. It is still 4 lug and I dont want to bother converting. I have the Tokico Shocks/struts/springs kit on my car that lowered it somewhat (dont remember exact). If i get 17 inchers what tire size can I run w/out rubbing and...

I will be driving along and my (stock) voltmeter will just all of the sudden jump down to like 10. As a result the battery idiot light comes on. Tnen it will jump back up to ormal after a minute or two. The battery shows no signs otherwise of going. Could this just be a faulty volt gauge...

Gas prices suck now, especially on rip off long island where i live. I always got 93 for my car even though the engine is completely stock besides having headers. I never changed the timing or anything like that either. Can I run 87, or will i get knocking? If it is the least bad for my car...

I was just wondering what any of you guys do for alternators. What is the deal w/ Ford's, I have gone through 2 in the past few years! Within months they start sounding like coffee grinders and they eventually wanna just fall all apart! Thanks

Does anyone know what the manual actually says for the oil capacity in the 5.0. I always put a little too much in, i wish I knew the exact amount. Thanks

I have 92' that runs like a top, but lateley I've noticed that loose kinda clunking noise that comes from the front end of high mileage cars. What is this exactly and what can I do to fix it? Also, is there usually any problems w/ the universal joints in high mileage Fox Stangs? Thanks
