If I get a flat, I'm certainly NOT going to call Roadside Assistance and WAIT an hour or so for someone to come out and put my spare on for me. This is the whole reason mechanically inclined people like me want a spare ... DIY. One of the reasons cars like the Mustang V6 are begining to...

One other thing most people don't realize is when you use the sealant, both the tire & TPMS sensor will need to be replaced. Also, any hole fixable with the sealant could also be fixed with a plug; provide you can find the leak. Benefit of plugging a tire is it can be later fixed...

For a spare that fits over the Brembo's, read this thread ... 2011 Mustang GT with Brembo package and full spare - Ford Mustang Forums You will still need to get a complete JACK KIT from a 2005-up Mustang (V6 or GT, see attached). From a Ford dealer it is all loose parts (no kit) ...

They definitely look best on V6, GT/CS, and Shelby's. Before I ordered my car in Feb 2010, I had only seen HID's "in person" on one 2010 Mustang and it was a Grabber Blue GT. It was hard for me to picture them on a Kona Blue MCA V6 that I planned on ordering, so I was really on the fence as...

It's all in black and white in the 2012 Order Guide and in the FRPP catalog: 2012 Mustang Order Guide - The Mustang Source - Ford Mustang Forums M4204-T31, 31 Spline Torsen Diff, $589.00 MSRP: Ford Racing Performance Parts What ... did you think I just make this stuff up ?? Doug

The Torsen diff. is std. on the Laguna Seca and opt. on the base Boss 302 ... the way I read it, it will NOT be a factory option on regular GT's. The Torsen diff. has been in the FRPP catalog for a while now, but I think the Boss 302 is the 1st useage of it on a Mustang from the factory...

Update ... Filled up today ... 409.2 miles / 12.967 gal = 31.55 MPG ... 2nd best to date. At the time of fill up, computer was showing "52-MI to E" and "29.6 AVE MPG". Total miles on car to date is 8282.2. Here is a summary of my commute MPG to date: WEEK 1: 28.81 MPG WEEK 2: 29.10...

Would not surprise me a bit either, but it would probably only be the 2.73 axle as it is the only "V6 only" assy ... the opt. 3.31 is std. in the GT so I think even the bean counters would see the logic of not having two different 3.31 axle assemblies on the production line. As far as the...

Just did a little research on FRPP, American Muscle, & Late Model Restoration and based on what they show for replacement axles & LSD: 1994-04 std. GT had 28 spline, but the '03-04 Mach 1 got 31 splines 2005-up Ford switched to 31 Spline Axles for all GT's which would mean we have 31...

Update ... Filled up today ... 416.7 miles / 13.304 gal = 31.32 MPG. At the time of fill up, computer was showing "47-MI to E" and "29.7 AVE MPG". Total miles on car to date is 6478.6. Here is a summary of my commute MPG to date: WEEK 1: 28.81 MPG WEEK 2: 29.10 WEEK 3: 29.46 WEEK...

I think you guys missed the point the OP was trying to make with this thread ... when you add the PP on the configurator, it removes the wheels altogether, so it better FLY as it has no rolling stock on the ground !! Doug

10% ethanol is the NORM in Wisconsin too, but 100% gasoline is still available at some stations. Ethanol reduces MPG and is generally NOT GOOD for gasoline powered vehicles or portable outdoor equipment. All newer vehicles are designed to operate on E10 (10% ethanol), but it can create...

I'm running 91 Octane Premium as it is the only fuel available in my town with NO ETHANOL. If there was ethanol free 87 available, I'd probably be running that or at least ways been able to try both and see if there is any difference. Doug

Tried something new this week ... had 30 miles on it from driving around town, and decided NOT to top it off Sunday night. Figured I've been seeing around 50 MI to E when filling up each week, why can't I do this extra driving at the begining of the tank ?? Filled up today ... 442.4 miles /...

Had seen a few spares & jack kits on e-bay BEFORE my car arrived in mid May but had been checking it off & on ever since and there has been nothing. Had my dealer check what he could do and all the items are purchased separately (including tire & rim) and it was going to cost over $350. I...

Update ... Filled up today ... 410.3 miles / 12.956 gal = 31.67 MPG ... a new best. At the time of fill up, computer was showing "54-MI to E" and "29.9 AVE MPG". Total miles on car to date is 4692.4. Here is a summary of my commute MPG to date: WEEK 1: 28.81 MPG WEEK 2: 29.10 WEEK...

The external identifying difference between 31 & 28 spline axles on 9" axle shafts was always solid center on wheel pilot on 31 vs. cast recess on 28. If Ford is still doing this on the 8.8", then I've got 28 spline on my V6. The std. 2.73 axle assembly could have 28 spline axles & diff...

The dealer's invoice from Ford also includes an FDAF (advertising fee) and fuel charge that you do not see on that price list. FDAF varries by region, but in my case (N.E.-WI) it was $486.00 and the fuel charge was $45.60 ... these are part of the "Real Invoice" and costs the dealer must...

All '11 V6's get an 8.8" differential. The 7.5" was fine in the '94-10 as an OPEN differential (as all left the factory), but borderline when up-graded with a Traction-Lok especially behind a modded six. The last year a 7.5" Traction-Lok was used in a GT was 1985 and Ford had warrenty...
