I normally would agree w/ this, however ... In this case it looks like he has taken care to make the car easy to revert to Ford/Ford if desired, and the results are quite impressive !! :nice: I am curious as to whether for the same amount of $'s that 5.0 could not have had a similar HP...

Well, scratch the water pump gasket - it ain't that. I think it is the thermostat housing - looks something like this. We changed the thermo & o-ring - no luck there. BTW - that dye is cool stuff - "alien blood". :rlaugh: You don't need a light to see it during the day if it is...

Has anyone had any problems w/ the aftermarket gaskets for the water pump vs. the metal Ford gasket ? This is on a 2001 4.0 Ranger, and it looks like it might be leaking from the gasket - we changed the water pump about 2 weeks ago using the felt type gasket that game w/ the new...

Little bugger is fast, too ! :nice: As the title says, it is a 99 - 04 black GT, lowered, w/ 4.6 Liter white letters on either side of the scoop. Loud as all get out, too, at least under WOT. :rlaugh: We got to play last night on the Beltway 8 feeder street, heading south past...

The wifey has a V-6 Ranger Edge - does that count ? My cars have either an 8 or a 4, or I can't help ya there. Well, other than a bump ! :nice: I know there is a Westside Mustang Club - you might try checking them out. Good Luck ! Britt

What kind of power did those make ? Not familiar w/ them, other than hearing about them - pretty much here ! :D Curious as to how they compare to my new ride - ' 09 Cobalt SS Sedan. 2.0 4 turbo, 260HP/260TQ. Fun, good handling, but different from the V-8 feel, for sure. ? Thanks...

I showed this to a buddy w/ an ' 01 GT- is this common ? And, can you do the repair ( if needed ) w/ the head on the car ? It looks like you could - ? :scratch: Aluminum heads sometimes scare me - I know when we did a tune up session on my buddy's Land Cruiser & mine ( aluminum head...

That interior ... Is one of the reasons I so desperately wanted to be able to sit in one at the car show ! Meaning that I am hoping it's better looking in real life than in pictures ... :shrug: But, since the SS & V6 on display were "sealed" - you could not sit in them - I still don't...

Sorry if I was not clear ! That was EXACTLY my point - so far it's all been pretty much routine maintainence items. Heck - the factory battery lasted 5 years or so ! :) It's been a good truck , which is one of the reasons she bought it when the lease was up. The other was that if...

114K on the wifey's. '01 Edge 2X Extended cab w/ the 4.0 & the 5 speed auto. Replaced 2 sets of front pads, minor little things like an EGR sensor and a rubber PCV hose. Had Ford change the plugs at 100 or so K - around 300 bux. The PS is as tight as my SS to get to ! :eek...

I know the one I test drove ran like a raped ape ! Not sure the year - '03, perhaps. Black w/ the auto - I drove up in the SS that day, so it was a fair SOTP comparison. Strong running car - dealer was "willing" :rolleyes: to give me in trade in what I owed on my car - sorry, no sale...

LOL ! I voted for the Camaro, well, because :D but the Stang in that pic is dam nice looking. It probably has a better looking interior, that's for sure ! :jaw: I'd have to agree w/ the "Where's the Challener " crowd - I priced one today on the Dodge website - ~ 29K after employee...

Dunno if you are still in the market ... But, years ago these guys did good work on the ex wifes Nissan Sentra when she caught the rear 1/4 panel on the garage center divider ... :eek: Cejan Linky Good body shops are like good mechanics - hard to come by. :nonono: Best of Luck ...

Same show, different take ! No beers for me , but your other point is valid ! :p I sat in the new Stang - nice, but not as nice as the Challenger, IMHO. Although the Challenger appears to have one helluva blind spot due to the large sail panel. Can't say I have had the pleasure of...

Doesn't sound bad to me ! By comparison, my last time at the track in hot, humid weather and no stall : 60' 2.123 330' 5.819 1/8 8.804 @ 83.63 1/4 13.560 @ 103.72 Any clue what your car weighs in at ? I think I am ~ 3600 w/ me in the car and as...

He's got it ! Edited for brevity, but if the car is an A4, 30 - 40 is a "dead zone" without a stall - ask me how I know. :p Up to about 59 (A4) same issue - 60 - 71 or so has a mean kickdown. Under 30 is pretty badazz, too. :nice: So, you just gotta catch 'em at the right points and...

Ok - I am confused ! I have driven my co-workers '01 :thinking: GT w/ a 5 speed here recently - up to 45 minutes at a pop. I cannot get the seat low enough to have enough headroom not to be at a somewhat crouch or staring eye to eye w/ the sun visor. :rlaugh: My daily ride is my SS ...

Are you talking Wally World oil ? If so, and you are looking and talking about the synthetics (!), then I have used it in the SS , it's in the '94 Land Cruiser, and the wife's 4.0 V6 Ranger right now. I think :scratch: it's made by Quaker State ,and at sub 14 bux for 5 quarts my .02 is...

I'd love to run one - have not yet. Drove one, though. It was an auto , and felt as strong as the SS. But, the LS1 is very deceptive in terms of SOTP performance. I know - mine feels slow. :D (And, compared to some cars, it is ! :p ) How does a Mach auto compare vs. a 5...

LOL ! At least you guys get a float ! On mine ( F ) the little sensor just screws into the radiator, and over time gets gooped up. The result ? Low coolant light, even when the coolant is a OK. :notnice: So,after going through 2 under warranty the sensor got disconnected. VOILA ...
