    99-04 Front Left Seatbelt In A 98 Gt?

    Anyone know if the driver seatbelt from a 99-04 Mustang will bolt into a 98 GT? My left from seatbelt retractor is fragged...which is causing the belt itself to fray....and FORD no longer sells the replacement retractor for the 98 GT. ...and if I'm gonna pay $125 for a used 98 seatbelt...I...

    Eibach Pro springs & Bilstein Shocks

    I installed Eibach Pro springs and Bilstein shocks on my 98 GT back in 2004. The ride is getting really "soft"...not the same firm ride I've come to expect. Is it more likely that the springs are failing, or that the shocks are failing??:shrug::shrug: I know the Bils have a lifetime...

    Check Engine P1433

    Excellent methodology, WMBurns! Thanks for the input! :nice::nice::nice: Here's what I'm planning to do: 1) replace ALL EVAP vacuum lines (they are 13 years "young") 2) test the solenoid. Which side (direction) of the solenoid should allow vacuum to flow...going towards the valve or...

    Check Engine P1433

    Size vacuum hose? Do you happen to know (off the top of your head) the size of the vacuum tubing that interconnects the purge valve/cannister/solenoid? Is the tubing all the same size? I've been getting the P1443 (98 GT) for a couple of months now, so I thought I would start by replacing...

    Off the top of your head....

    Does anyone know if the interior door panels from a 99-01 Mustang GT are interchangeable with the door panels on a 96-98 Mustang GT? I'm having a hard time finding replacement door panels for my 98GT. The 99-01 door panels look identical (from the outside :) ). Thanks!

    Pinging badly

    Yep....speedo & tach works great...so I'm not totally "broken". But I *DO* base my MTBF (mean-time-between-fills) on mileage.

    Odometer / Trip Odometer *broken* - How easy to fix???

    98 GT - A couple of days a ago, I noticed that the trip odometer had stopped working...so I reset it to zeros. That's when I noticed that the odometer had stopped working as well. :bang: What are some of the "easiest" things to check first? How big of a PITA is this to fix? :shrug...
