    X Vs. H Pipe.

    I had a Bassani offroad X pipe on my supercharged fox body and I loved the sound of it outside the car, but absolutely hated it from inside the car. Sounded horribly raspy and kind of like you have an exhaust leak (I didn't). As much as I liked the sound outside the car, I will never have an X...

    Speedometer Way Off!! Need Help

    It's your rear tires. Your stock tires had 10" of total side wall height (actually called "section Height"), and your new tires have 7.6" total sidewall height. If the car came with 18's and you now have 20's, that means you gained 2" in tire diameter from the wheel change, and then lost 2.4" in...

    How Do I Remove Oil Control Valve Solenoid Grommet

    Thanks for the reply, and yes, I'm replacing the oil control solenoids. The service manual states that you remove the grommet without removing the valve cover, then remove the single screw holding the oil control solenoid at the bottom. I agree with you however that it can't be done with the...

    How Do I Remove Oil Control Valve Solenoid Grommet

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to replace my oil control solenoids on my 174,000 mile 2005 Mustang GT purchased in Feb of 2005. The shop manual says simply to remove the grommet around the oil control solenoid, but I've bent the metal tabs up on the grommet and clamped a vise grip on each tab, then...

    Brake pedal noise and problems with A/C on

    Pads and fluid changed, symptoms are gone Changed my brake pads (used Hawk HPS) and flushed out all fluid and put in Castrol DOT 4 fluid, and my creaking and mushiness in hot weather are now gone. It has been four days and no sign of the prior problems. FWIW, my stock pads had 121,000 miles...

    Brake pedal noise and problems with A/C on

    NOT A/C related on my car. I confirmed yesterday that my symptoms occur without having run the A/C at all. It appears to be ambient temperature that sets it off, so running stop and go errands in warm weather will make it occur all of the time now. My symptoms, btw, are exactly what you...

    Brake pedal noise and problems with A/C on

    I have the same problem exactly I have the same symptoms exactly, although I didn't make the link between the A/C and the occurrence of the problem. I just thought it was heat related. Mine did it last summer a few times after I'd been driving more than an hour in hot weather, but when the...

    Take a look at my "Carastang"

    I opened the bore diameter up with a bore bar on a milling machine. Before I moved into management many years ago, I was a machinist.

    Take a look at my "Carastang"

    Not a "bolt-on" Guess I should mention that the Mustang Wheels don't bolt on directly to the Dodge. The center hub bore on the wheels had to be opened up by .03.

    Tune & Exhaust note?

    Just wanted to say that I've noticed this too, but I can't figure out how the tune can have such a dramatic effect on exhaust note. On my car with stock exhaust and JLT with Bama tune, it's a night and day improvement in sound.

    Lower Ball Joints problem?

    In my area Goodyear dealers can't be trusted with anything other than changing tires, so I would not be concerned at all about what they think. The dealership mechanics are far better trained and if they say you don't have a problem with your ball joints, it is EXTREMELY unlikely that they...

    ford racing gears

    What you heard about Ford gear sets is usually true. You can almost always use the original shims and your depth and lash will be fine. Having said that you always want to double check to make sure after the install.

    2005 GT won't run

    Mustang runs again! Thanks to some suggestions, my car is running normally again. I emptied the fuel tank and then put 5 fresh gallons of gas in. At the same time I also reloaded the stock tune and then it started right up. Put the car back to the Bama tune and everything is back to normal...

    2005 GT won't run

    Thanks for ideas--I'll try some tonight Thanks everyone for the ideas you've put forth. I'll try some of them out tonight. If anyone else has any ideas, please put them out there too. A failed crank sensor does seem like it could cause the things I'm seeing. BTW, I changed the fuel...

    2005 GT won't run

    After years of reading this forum and occasionally providing answers for folks, I find that I need some help. My 2005 GT with 90K miles (I bought it new but I drive a lot) refused to run yesterday completely out of the blue. Got home from work the night before, parked in my garage as always...

    Miles traveled past empty?

    I've run mine down past zero miles many, many times, and I've gone as far as 16 miles past zero. When I fill the tank right at zero miles I always get just over 15 gallons into the tank, which makes me believe there is a one gallon reserve after hitting zero miles. Although I've done...

    Jumping out of gear

    Your shifting fork is bent. Usually happens due to shifting too hard in a car without a positive gear shift stop (nothing to stop the gear lever from traveling too far and bending the fork), although I had it happen on my wife's Nissan and I'm sure she didn't abuse it. However, if I was the...
