    2010 Drivers Door Glass Hits Bottom Hard?

    If you have the owner's manual, there is a section in it where they tell you to set up the power windows--such as whether you want speed down on the driver's glass, or open just a crack.

    Drivetrain That Heck Darn 2010 GT 5-speed shifter

    If I rip out the console to have a look at the body mounted shift assembly, what can I do--can this item be lubed or something? Or is it time for the aftermarket trans-mounted unit?

    Mach1 2003 coolant leaking rear of engine

    On my '04 GT, I had to replace the intake and all that coolant pipe underneath foolishness. I recall using some special adhesive to join the pipe in front and I had to JB Weld some corrosion'ed areas so the manifold would fit. My leak started when the pipe in the rear top of the manifold where...

    Just bought 2010 GT with 38k, what should I look out for?

    My 2010 GT went into Ford Dlr. I had received a recall notice. The passenger side airbag was replaced. You may need to check if this applies to your car. The thing I really wonder about this last year for the 3V 4.6 is: I wouldn't have thought this car needed more (Coyote) power!

    2010 GT 5-speed remote shifter

    I need to see how the remote shifter works. A photo of the shifter on the transmission out of the car would be a starting point.

    Hardtop to softtop issue

    The early prototype Mustang in 1963 or so had a lift off hardtop like a longer version of what you'd see on a Corvette Convertible, but nobody makes that kind of thing anymore...

    Drivetrain 2010 GT 5-speed Shift Knob

    Well,I learned a lot about the changes from the SN95 Mustangs--Remote Shifter? Really? No slip yoke? And of course they changed the threads on the shift lever so I can't use the polished aluminum ball that was on my '04 GT. Anyway, the changes they made affect your experience when you come up...

    How to disable auto-dim rearview mirror

    I was given a 2015 Fusion to drive for work and its regular-type flip mirror dimmed much better than the photochromic mirror in my 2010 GT. I looked in the manual and it seems the dimming is not user adjustable! Too brigh at night for my taste

    Drivetrain 2010 GT 5-speed Shift Knob

    I know this seems idiotic, but does the 5-speed manual shift knob simply unscrew like the one in my 2004 GT? It seems locked in place and I don't want to damage anything.

    Gas Hog After Intake Manifold Replacement

    Well,I did finally get it back,went right up and had the Ford dealer check the rear suspension and do a LOF. The parts are obsolete,but they could get them NOS from other Ford dealers. Hardly worth it,as Summit Racing has a kit for both upper and lower arms. The trick is to press out the lower...

    Gas Hog After Intake Manifold Replacement

    It was this expensive electric PCV valve on the right side valve cover under the air intake (showed up as a vacuum leak),and #6 needed a coil,NOT an injector. I get to keep the injector as a reminder not to blunder blindly ahead on guesses. More than $400.00, and when test driving it,they found...

    Gas Hog After Intake Manifold Replacement

    Aaaarggh! I thought I had this figured out. I "noided" #6 cylinder jack after disconnecting #6 injector,and as a result,replaced #6 injector (Engine no different w/#6 plugged in or not). Then it ran the same, and the "Check Engine" light came on, so I dropped it off w/the techs who will tell me...

    Gas Hog After Intake Manifold Replacement

    2004 GT 4.6L,stock except for a 3.73 axle. The large "Nipple" on the right side of the intake at the firewall broke and was spewing coolant.I replaced the "underneath" heater tube and its O-ring part behind the water pump, the water pump itself, 8 spark plugs,both heater hoses,and the manifold...

    Replacing my 04 Mach 460 with an 03 head unit

    As to the aftermarket head unit install issues, I put in a JVC double-DIN unit from ebay, and Crutchfield sent me the interface harness and the parts to physically install the unit at a nice price. Works great with the Mach 460 amps & speakers! and I can reinstall the factory unit anytime. Also...

    Replacing my 04 Mach 460 with an 03 head unit

    Wow, this would be simple--at least it was for me. You would need some tiny Torx wrenches. You have to disassemble the head unit (carefully!) down to where you can get at that potentiometer (volume control). Then, simply shpritz the inside of the pot with some Electronics Cleaner (Radio Shack...

    Something Fishy...

    Good thought about the heater core--I've been through that with a number of Fords, most notably the '88 & '89 Crown Vic wagons I had, which were a bit of a chore to DIY. Boy, the '56 Fords were easy on that chore! Anyway, I'd expect to see the symptoms you just described, but haven't yet.

    Something Fishy...

    Well, today I had the car parked with the engine off and sniffed everywhere, and smelled nothing. The neighbors were staring, however! Back in the early days of "cats", they would smell like rotten eggs sometimes, but FISH? I don't get it. As to the clutch, it's been replaced four times this year.
