03 rag top V6 in excellent condition and like to keep it that way. I had a 96 rag top and it still had the original top nine years old in great condition. Keeping it in our garage plays a major role in keeping the top in good condidtion, but during the day it sits in the sun sometimes and being...

"I searched and this is what I found." Thanks much.

03 rag top, any one know of a good protectant for the top?

White exaust smoke could be steam. "It doesn't have water in the oil." You can have a blown head gasket and never get water in the oil. "if you let it run for about five minutes it will wet the grass with gas out the tailpipe" If that wetnes was gas it would be running extrememly rich and...

Can't say that many drivers compete with me but then I give them no reason to, but I know of what you speak about some speeding up when you're passing. We have a lot of ricers here to with the dippy looking tin spoilers, fancy wheels and those awful chain saw mufflers and of course the...

What with having had a V8 I suspect you'd be heavy footed on the V6 and all we get is 16 around town, auto tranny uses more gas so I'm happy with 16 plus this time of year AC always on here in SC. Early mornings and late evenings we put the top down but it's just to darn hot to drop it in the...

03 V6, 3.8, automatic tranny, 'vertible with 23K miles on it using 87 octane and I get 16 town and haven't measured it on the road. No freeway driving here, rural roads and some four lanes but not freeways. We had a 96 V6 3.8 stick shift 'vertible and it got 18 town and 21 on the road...

We had a 2003 T Bird and the hard top weighed 80 lbs and that's a two seater car. Mustang with rear seat the top would 'prolly be half again as big and weigh 150 lbs or more and that would be a lot to handle to lift it off the car and keep from putting a nasty scratch on the trunk. Not all that...

"It's not just ricers, EVERYone does that to me.." There you go Red98, seems like it chops their meat to be passed by a 'Stang. I'm an older guy and have disciplined myself thus; I pop in a Jimi Hendrix CD, do the speed limit, set the cruise control and the rest of the world be damned...

First car 1954 Ford CustomLine V8 with stick & overdrive. Still in high school, worked summer packing tomatoes and made enough to buy it for $700. Chuck Berry was the main rock n' roll man and had me a hot red headed cheer leader for a gf and those days we didn't have AC either . . . . WHEW...

96 V6 ragtop 117,300 mi, runs like a charm and uses NO oil. Matter of fact, completely dry underneaath, no fluid leaks. :nice:

http://www.rotella.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=experience&Number=1842&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 Shell Rotella T is one of the best and if you don't live in extreme cold you can use 10W-30 no sweat. I recently found WalMart 10W-30 Super Tech FULL Synthetic oil $11.88...

"but what is the “performance” difference, is there any?" I wondered the same thing and after doing the research I decided not worth mucho more bucks for "performance" shocks and struts for my 96 vert. Not into high performance and Monroe had a $60. rebate when you bought four of anything...

It will be about 3 MPH slow. Bigger tires less tire revolutions.

Just put all new on my 96 rag top and after checking prices running the numbers I did Monroe's and got a $60.00 rebate and I am *very* pleased with the ride and handling. Ones that came on it had 116K miles on them so completely shot and after they put new on I thought I had a different Pony...

96 V6 rag-top, new struts and shocks made a world of difference in the ride, needed new tires and went for the good stuff and woo-hoo what a difference in the ride and handling characteristics. Not cheap but definitely worth the money and I highly recommend. They put 40 lbs in them and I let...

Oh yeah, that'll work, a rabbit aggrivating a Pit Bull. I don't think so Tim . . . . :nono:

96 V6 - I got the whole assembley for $155. from Advance Auto lifetime guarantee long as I own the 'Stang, but far as I know it wasn't heavy duty. Wouldn't be that bad of a job but the Y exaust pipe has to come off. I let a tranny place do it and think total was $275. parts and labor. Been in 2K...

Well if it don't fit it ain't the right one. Here's the one you need and it sure doesn't look like the one you got. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38634&item=7971755529&rd=1 Sorry have the hassel to go through but sounds the seller misrepresented their...

Surely you can get it filled in Orlando. ??
