    TSBs, should I?

    UPDATE: TSB's, should I? I wish I had a dealer around here like 'svttech76.' I say that because of the following: I went to the dealer (where I purchased) to explain my issues and set up a time for them to look at it. I had the TSBs in hand and explained EXACTLY what the problems are. I'm...

    Anti-lock brake lamp

    I have never seen any notification for ABS in the dash WHILE it is 'on.' I have felt it working through the pedal, of course; but never any ABS light notification. I have seen the traction control light come on repeatedly in slippery conditions (or when I forget to turn it off!) :D

    TSBs, should I?

    I have found the following TSBs of issues I have experienced with my vehicle: 06-19-2 8.8 LIMITED SLIP AXLE MOAN-GROAN NOISE DURING LOW SPEED TURNING MANUEVERS (SUPERCEDES 06-12-11) Not all that big of a problem, but a bit bothersome nonetheless. Does this issue prematurely wear the part...

    17" OEM GT Wheels

    17" Premium Painted Cast Aluminum Wheels I hope this is the right forum for this. But I'm looking for a set of OEM wheels & tires off the GT. I thought this would be the place to find someone with a set of take-offs that they'd be willing to sell at a reasonable price. I'd be even more...

    Loud Sloppy Clatter in 05 GT

    I also have an odd vibration/noise on my 06 Mustang that occurs in similar fashion to what you are describing. It's sort of a clattering metal sound that only happens when the car is cold (sitting overnight), and will only happen for maybe five to seven minutes after starting the car. I only...

    My shimmy thread

    This is, I beleive, exactly what happened to me. I don't recall a specific incident that instigated the issue, but I did notice a shimmy that got progressively worse when braking and sometimes driving. I have another post on the subject, but long story short: I went to the dealer and they...

    Steering Shake

    REVISED: Steering Shake First some facts: 2006 GT manual 11000 miles Bone stock 17" Std Wheels - original tires Problem: I developed a small shake in my steering at freeway (60mph+) speeds after rotating my tires. My initial thought was that my front left tire was out of balance. I...

    Paint Defect

    Good call bigcat. I spoke to the body shop today. He says the panel would have to come off, sand, prime, and color the affected area, then clear the whole fender. Two full days and it'd be done... Sounds like I'm getting my problem fixed! The only thing would be one fender with an extra...

    Flame red vs torch red

    I went with Tungsten (but who didn't apparently).. Red Fire is a richer, less noisy red. 'Classy' color; bright, but subdued slightly. Torch Red is very loud, look at me, cliche sports car red... If 'look at me' is what you want, Torch is your answer. Reminds me of the Ferrari red...

    Shaker 500 issues!!

    I've had problems with burned CDs that I burned too fast (48x). Especially mp3 discs; they would have all sorts of skips, silence, jumping around to different songs - all sorts... The solution seemed to be burning them at a very slow speed - 16x or LESS... I've not had a problem with songs...

    Paint Defect

    I haven't spoken to dealer yet, but as I see it, this seems like a warrantied thing. HOWEVER, it looks like it could be quite a hassle to get repaired, and may be more trouble than it's worth!? I don't think I'll be trading this vehicle in for a new(er) one any time soon, so some type of...

    Paint Defect

    Found a paint issue on my fender while washing it yesterday. It's along the fold at the top of the fender well on the driver's side front wheel. It appears as though the color coat was applied, then before the clear, some liquid/dirt of some kind was hanging on that edge. The clear went on...

    Mustang GT or 350Z?

    Between the two, as a DD, I think you'll have more fun in a Mustang. The noise, power, head turning... And if you need to take 3 people somewhere, and luggage, this car can do it. I looked at the 350Z, RX-8, and the Mustang GT when I went shopping. RX-8: overpriced (I think) at 6'4"...

    Fuel Gauge Problem

    I'm not sure the circumstances under which this is occurring in your car, but it has happened in mine. The tank is usually 1/2 or less and sometimes after hard acceleration or cornering the guage will drop to E and the warning will come on the dash - *ding* '0 miles to E'. It usually won't...

    Winter and my GT

    Don't worry, as soon as the snow stopped falling, I cleaned it off entirely. Snow makes ice; ice is very hard to get off a car. Fresh wax and rain-x make it quite easy to remove the snow. I haven't used sand/weight in the trunk. We don't have snow on the roads long enough around here to...

    Winter and my GT

    Garage it for the winter? Nope. Luckily it was 55F here on Tuesday, got a nice wash, wax and rain-x'd the windows! Good timing I'd say. :) I figured some would get a kick out of this picture. 7" of snow here today.

    05/06 Mustang GT Center Wheel Caps

    I think every manufacturer feels the necessity to get the company logo onto every vehicle. In this case, they skipped it on all the body panels and grille. So what's left is the wheels. The good news is you can get new wheels, or new caps are available... Do these work? (I haven't looked...

    Does the 2005+ go in the snow?

    FWD, RWD, 400hp, 100hp, doesn't matter. Driving in snow is all 100% driver and 10% car. Anything will drive in the snow as long as the driver can handle it safely. In a snowstorm you see everything from 4WD Jeeps to FWD Saturns in the ditch; it's all about the driver. I've driven a Porsche...

    Two Weeks Notice

    I'd have to agree with our original poster. Two weeks and 600 miles later, I couldn't be happier! I haven't experienced the gas filling issue, but my radio does skip frequently on MP3 discs; even when the car ISN'T moving! The looks, comments, sound of the car, all very exciting! :D...
