I need to know the length of the trans dipstick from a C4 in a 1965 C-code mustang. I've done some searching, but can't seem to find a solid answer. The one I have is clearly wrong because the bottom of the stick has been hacked off. Length seems about right, but there is no "full" mark. So...

Just sharing an easy fix. My 2005 GT went into failsafe mode yesterday. Searched for possible causes on line first, and everything points to the TPS or throttle body. Turns out it was a bad battery. That was the short answer. Here is the longer story. It's a 2005 GT with an Edelbrock...

Hey all, I had a 1970 Mustang fall into my lap recently. Long story short, got it from an old friend. This is a California car with almost no rust, and my friend had to get rid of it quick because he is moving to the east coast. He bought it back in 1986, and we assume it was from the original...

My 2005 GT is giving me some trouble. When I try to start it, it has to crank over for 3-4 seconds before it fires. And sometimes it just barely starts, then sorta bogs and stumbles for a couple of seconds before it evens out. It used to fire really quickly. The strange thing is that once I...

I've got a SCT X3 tuner with 3 tunes and the JLT cold air intake for a 2005 GT. I pulled it all off because I upgraded to a supercharger. This was a fantastic upgrade and added decent power on a budget. I'm asking $200. Make me an offer. I'd rather sell it locally (SoCal) so I don't have to...

I've got a 1965 with a 302 from a 93 Fox Body. This is a project, and I don't have the a/c compressor mounted yet, I need a temporary compressor just as a place holder until I actually install the a/c system. I'm planning on a Vintage Air system, but I don't want to pay for a new compressor...

I'm currently selling my 1998 Harley FXSTC so I can buy a project car. So, if anyone is interested I'll trade it for a Mustang... I'll either trade straight up for a 65-70 Mustang of similar value, or I'll trade for a junky project + cash... Actually I prefer a junky project + cash... Anyway...

I'm getting ready to do a bunch of maintenance on my 05 GT because I'll be hitting the 100K mark any day now. One of the things on the list is new shocks & struts, but I'm not sure if I need them. I don't see any obvious leaks, and they don't have any extra bounce. The driving has been mostly...

I'm having some trouble with the auto-drop feature on my 2005 GT. A while back we got some rain here in SoCal, and it caused the auto-drop on the passenger side to freak out. When I would open the door, after about 20 seconds, it would go up, then down, then up, then down, and eventually end...

I've got over 70K on my 2005 GT, and the plastic headlamp covers are looking pretty bad. No matter how much I wash them, they still look dirty because of all the tiny scratches. Prior to this car, the only thing I've ever had to clean on the front of a car was chrome... So does anyone...

Just a couple questions about regular maintenance. (I'd check my owners manual, but it was stolen along with my CDs and spare change) I'm at the 40,000 mark on my 05 GT. At what point should I flush the coolant system? When should I re-pack my wheel bearings? (or are they sealed?) It's...

So from what I gather, the 1/4 mile time for the GT500 is 12.7 @ 116... Seems to me that 500 hp should get you closer (or into the 11's). Is it because of traction problems? Or are the numbers underestimated on purpose? I'm only curious because my last car was a 65 Nova with approx 450 hp...

I've heard a lot of complaints about the "cheap plastic interior" on the new mustangs. Personally, my 05 doesn't seem cheap to me. Can someone enlighten me as to what would make the interior less "cheap"? I mean, really, what else would they do? Make the dash out of steel like the 60's...

I had the skipping problem with home burned CDs and it was cutting the end off of store bought CDs. So, I took it in for the 10K maintenance and asked them to fix the radio under the TSB. Well... they replaced the radio and 3 minutes after leaving the dealership it started skipping again...

So we all know about the front end popping problem. My question is, what exactly does it sound like? Is it a constant pop, pop, pop type sound when turning? I'm asking because when I make a u-turn at slow speeds and I turn the wheel all the way to one side or the other I get a single pop...

this may have already been said, I didn't do a search... but I heard that the 2006 had an optional 18" wheel... I didn't bother to see what it looks like until now... is it just me or does it look a LOT like the GTO rims?

I didn't realize the title would rhyme until I was done typing it... Anyway, is anyone else annoyed by the fact that when the key is in the ignition it dangles down and rests on your right knee? It's not like I carry a bunch of keys, I only have the Mustang key, alarm, and 2 other keys on the...

I went to the GM Auto Show in Motion this weekend. Basically, GM puts out all their cars and trucks and lets you run them on different courses. They also have a few sample cars from other manufacturers (like BMW and Mercedes). So I was hoping to have the chance to run the Mustang and GTO on...

(other than replacing the head unit) I noticed that my Shaker 1000 skips on my burnt CDs and once in a while on my store bought CDs, but I think I see a pattern. When I'm driving along listening to CD in slot 1, then switch to the burnt CD in slot 2 it doesn't skip. Then, if I park the car...

I don't think calling the 05 Mustang retro is exactly correct. I think American is more like it... follow me for a minute. If you look back at the history of American designed cars, the 05 Mustang is more like a continuation of the Mustang than a Retro design. At some point in the 70's...
