Ok, I just got my replacement hose from the Ford dealership this time, this hose did not have a restrictor in it??? Anyways, i put it on there and Ill see how long this one lasts. I think what Forced2dV8 said may be right, im gonna try to open up the pipe that the heatercore coolant return...

anyone else?

Hmm, i just replaced the radiator cap, is there a way to test it? And i dont see how the restrictor would keep the heater core from blowing up b/c it should be on the exiting side, not the entrance side??

Does anyone know if I have to get a hose that has that restrictor in it, or can I just get a steel braided hose w/ no restrictor??

This is the second time in a couple months that I have blown the coolant hose that returns coolant from the heater core back to the engine, the "S" hose. Inside the hose there is a reducer, to the best of my knowledge I am installing it correctly b/c it would be difficult to install...

lol, yeah, i guess its not the rear end, im at a loss as to what it is, thats why i need a shop

Well I changed the fluid today. I had a mechanic take a look at the gears once I got the girdle off, and all the gears look good and there were no metal shavings. He also said my Universal Joints and Spider gears looked fine. There was no play in the driveshaft either. I took it for a little...

will do, i just went and bought 3 quarts of Mobil1 synthetic gear oil, then some Friction Modifier stuff, some Ultra Black RTV, and a Felpro Gasket

Im lookin for a good shop that can work on my 92 5.0 mustang. I do most things myself but if something major goes wron I wanna know of a good shop, I.E., I think my rear end may be going out right now. Im in Ft Walton Beach, near Eglin AFB, thanks:)

Well I didnt get to get it on the lift today b/c the hobby shop was closed. I think im gonna go get a new gasket, gear oil, and RTV and just replace it tommorow anyways.

ok will do, any other ideas of what this may be?

My rear end is grinding, at first I thought it was nothing but now it is doing it worse, started doing it really bad 2day. At first it would grind a little when starting out from a dead stop as I released the clutch. Now it does it for a second when im going around a corner at slow speeds. It...

they dont sell it here..... Most people are saying they use 10W 30, which is cool w/ me, Id prefer to use that weight anyways. But I just didnt know if it is ok to run a 40weight for atleast 2 years, and then bump it down to a 30 weight

Ok, so the previous owner has been putting in Mobil1 synthetic 10W 40 for the past two years. They do not have Mobil1 fully synthetic 10W 40 here anymore, and was told that they stopped carrying it, I went to all of the local parts store and was told the same thing. If I really wanted to im sure...

seems that way, if it wasnt a 100% fix it was atleast a 95% fix and I recomend it

Update: So far (knock on wood), I have not had any more surging since I replaced that spacer. I did at first once or twice, maybe everything trying to get adjusted, ECU or whatnot, I dont know, but it hasnt surged since then. I also did the cooling system flush and PCV/groumet/ and screen...

ok, thanks for makin it easy for me!! I feel better now that you guys think I have 3.73s, I felt like the previous owner had bamboozled me for a little bit there. I will count the driveshaft revolutions as soon as I get to the lift to do the tranny fluid. Thanks, you guys are awsome!!!!!!!!

Hmmm, ok, I dont wanna go that route, dont feel like droppin the tranny. So what's the general consensus here. Do you think I have 4.10 gears or what. The previous owner said they were 3.73s but I dont know. I really dont know what gears are in there

^^that is the chart I used to figure out that I needed the 23 tooth white gear. It says it its not 100% accurate but I figured it would only be off by a few MPH's, not 10. So is there another tooth I should try to correct it. Would the 21 tooth red one slow it down by 10MPH?

How do I do that?
