    Radio time! Polk audio?

    Im going to be installing a new radio system in my 2004 mustang with mach 460. Ive already decided on a Pioneer AVH-P3300BT head unit. I have an exile 4 ch amp that I'll be running. Im undecided on speakers. Doing some poking around on crutchfield I found a set of polk audio mm6501 (Polk Audio...

    Any plans for your Stang in 2010?

    I've already started to plan out and order parts. My problem is, and anyone in the philadelphia area can attest to this....all this damn snow!!! It won't be gone till june!! I've got a set of Steeda pullies to install for now. Next will be 3.73s, bassani mid length headers, and hopefully by...

    Max power on stock PI heads?

    I think above 14 PSI your going to run flow/efficiency problems. To get the most efficiency, you need to upgrade your heads and cam. A bigger cam will bump up your power levels, but the heads can only flow so much. If you're going through the trouble and expense of installing a forged...

    A/C gettin kind of weak.

    This is NOT good advice at all. The cans you buy over the counter contain sealants that WILL lead to premature failure of A/C components. Being a ford tech, I have fixed my share of backyard mechanics a/c "repairs". Using that crap is like using fix a flat to attempt to perminantly fix a tire...

    NGK iridium vs platinum

    Best thing I can say in this thread, being a ford mechanic is MOTORCRAFT, MOTORCRAFT AND MORE MOTORCRAFT. Unless your using a blower, get motorcraft plugs, absolutly nothing wrong with them; and as stated before, make sure you torque them to spec otherwise you'll find yourself at the dealership...

    Brown crap in coolant keeps comin back!

    If it where my car here's what I would do... Disconnect the rad. hoses. Remove the thermostat, reinstall the housing. Take your garden hose nozzle off, and stick it in the upper rad hose (going to the t-stat housing) and turn it on. Let the water run through the engine until it comes out the...

    How much do you owe on your Stang?

    I owe 10k on my used 04 GT with 39,xxx miles. I love my stang and all, but I can honestly say it was a dumb move when I decided to get it 2 1/2 years ago.

    I think something is wrong with my cobra =( (pic included)

    I'm not sure about the gearing and inter-changeablity of the IRS and SRA, but if you go to the yard, I'm sure you can get a rear thats loaded. If its an 8.8 from a 99-04 then yes, it will be posi. Wouldnt hurt to pop the cover off and inspect the gears for chips and the fluid/case for metal...

    ABS and clutch light

    I would say if you had your traction control turned off with a tuner, this could likely be your problem. If you had a sensor ring that was cracked or bad, you'd likely have false ABS activation, or you'd hear the ABS accumulator come on whenever you hit the brakes, and possibly even have...

    Stock Springs and Cams?

    The stock springs are fine for a stage 1 cam; some stage 2 cams are even okay with stock springs. Its when you start getting into the higher RPM levels that you want to consider changing your springs. The reason you want stiffer springs for higher RPM applications is to prevent valve float...

    Prochamber Vid

    Nice sound. I always liked the sound of the pro-chamber, I opted for the bassani o/r x pipe, its just "meh" IMO, I shoulda went with pro's. Are those the HID lic. plate lights you have there? If so, do you like them? Worth the $$?

    oxygen sensors

    Switch them if you want, tell you the truth, I don't really care what you do. Call a ford dealership and ask what the part numbers are for a front o2 sensor and a rear o2 sensor. Compare the part numbers then find out for yourself if they are the same.

    If the serpentine belt breaks..

    anyone have sequential tail lights?

    Yea, definitely not rice. I have them on my car, and I really like them. Got them for free, they where actually for an 05-09, but I cut the resistors off and spliced them in. Maybe I can take a vid of it later and post it. As far is making them brighter, I would actually also like to do this...

    2nd o2 sensor in 15k miles, suggestions?

    So my check engine light came on, had a p0133, o2 sesor 1, bank 1 slow to respond. I hooked up the IDS to my car, pulled up the pid and verified slow switching. I replaced the sensor, and all is good. Only problem is, I replaced the same sensor about 15,000 miles ago for the same issue. I know...

    getting hotter than oustide air from vent

    Well, it seems like this is something no one can sway you from. I said it before, and I'll say it again, not a good idea, however, its your ride, its your money. No, there is no particular valve made for this, unless you re-design your cooling system to work like the LS. But I'd say the...
