    Ac O-ring Color - Does It Matter?

    I'm working on my AC system and I ordered a set of new o-ring seals for the car. All of them are green. I took the liquid line as well as the other line off the condenser and the o-rings were orange. Am I ok to use the green ones there or should I go get orange ones as well?

    Replacing Ac Pump - Do I Need To Add Pag Oil To My Pump?

    Normally I wouldn't even ask and just add the amount in the shop manual but when I took the plastic cap off to bolt on the AC hose manifold, there was already oil in there. I was trying to figure out if the compressor I bought came prefilled and the page says most assemblies are precharged with...

    Ac Pump Replacement Parts Question

    Hey guys, I have an 03 Mach 1. The AC quit working on me a while back. I could hear the compressor cycling on/off so I took it to a local shop for an AC diag since I don't have AC manifold gauges and what not. They told me I was low on refrigerant and did a die test. Said my compressor is...

    Rear Upper Control Arm Bushing

    Is there a stock type rubber bushing available for the upper control arms in the rear ? I know you can get a factory bushing for the axle side but I don't really want to pay 250 bux for a set of new control arms when I can just replace some rubber bushings for well under 100.

    Radiator Upgrade

    My dad's car is making too much power for his stock radiator. Do you guys know if the 03-04 Cobra radiator is the same as the GT radiator or if it is a bit beefier. His car isn't making more then a lightly upgraded Terminator so I figure if that radiator is good enough for a supercharged 4v...

    Car Is Almost Back To Normal, Still Have 3 Tid Failures

    Ok, so I put my new COP unit in and the car is finally feeling like it is almost back to normal. I feel like I am missing a little bit of power in the 4800+ RPM range. Down low feels just about right. You can see the TID results from Binary Editor that I have attached. I think the one at...

    Aftermarket COP upgrade ?

    Last time I looked into it the aftermarket didn't really have a true upgrade for the factory COP units. All the aftermarket ones at the time were touted as upgrades but from what everyone said they were no better performance/reliability wise when compaired to the stock unit. I am seeing these...

    2003 Mach 1 cornacopia of codes

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a little help with my Mach 1. I've been having small issues with it that I've been hunting down. Every time I think I've got something fixed it eventually comes back. Until now the car has never thrown a code. Well, last night while I was driving, the car finally...

    P1451 After Quarterhorse Install

    So I bought a Moats Quarterhorse for my 03 Mach 1 and installed it. No problems. I had the ECU out of the kick panel area and it was just hanging out. Everything was working fine. I put some electrical tape over the J3 port where the QH was poking out to seal it off so no moisture would get...

    AOD conversion wiring harness

    Is there anyone out there that sells a prebuilt harness for a C4 to AOD swap ? I've rebuilt the stock and AOD harness together a few times for various projects but it seems like my friend I'm helping this time has managed to loose both. It would be easier to just buy a prebuilt one from a...

    Is there a way to read the VSS output and convert it from a pulse to a constant voltage ? Alternatively, could I read the pulse that feeds the spedo gauge as a constant voltage instead of a pulse some how ?

    T56 vs 3650 gear ratios ?

    I have been waiting to upgrade to a T56 and I finally have enough money to do it but over the last few days I've found some data about the gear ratios that I didn't know previously. I'm wondering if this is actually true or not. I have a 2003 Mach 1 with a 3650. I read that 5th gear in the...
