    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    Hang in there Ticket, it will all work out in the end. Good things happen to those who wait, and are patient. I can't believe that you won't eventually benefit from this, Ford doesn't want any bad publicity, nor does the dealer. I'm sure this is a high priority issue to them, although it...

    Different Gas Station.. More Power?

    Glad I could brighten your day (or night). Isn't it always intriguing when you see someone burst out laughing while they're sitting at a computer? I'm notorious for it myself, I always have people asking what the heck's so funny? I just wave them off and try to regain my composure. :D

    Different Gas Station.. More Power?

    Michael, what an idea! You know, you may be right on the nose here. This store is close to my house, so I'm in&out of there all the time. I HAVE noticed a new truck driver delivering the fuel. You should see this guy! He fits the stereotypical "truck driver" image to a T: Big guy with a...

    Different Gas Station.. More Power?

    A very interesting Thread... It's such a coincidence that I decided to read this thread today. Scott from Jersey who shouts Exxon Gas is crap - man can I relate!!! :notnice: Perhaps it is the change in seasons, and gas formulations are being altered, but for the first time EVER I...

    T5 whining/howling?

    I've owned my 91 5.0 for 4 years now, 1,2,& 3 have whined since the day I drove it home. Hasn't gotten any worse, hasn't gotten any better. Put some good synthetic fluid in there and forget about it. :nice: Just my 2 cents.. :flag:

    Drove a new GT today

    KidTwist, I just wanted to say your review was excellent - i.e. very well written and thought out. :nice: It's amazing how much praise there is for the chassis / suspension.... how much different it is from the previous generation. I can only imagine the improvement this platform has over...

    how will this combo ride???

    I have the FMS "B's" with KYB GR-2 combo. It's no Caddilac, let me tell ya. If I were to do it over again, I would purchase an adjustable strut/shock combo. The Foxes are notorious for having a stiff ride overall, don't forget...

    wandering car after ford 17x9 cobra r wheel install

    BowTieK, Yes, I would imagine 44psi a bit cheeky, and you're probably right. I leave the rear rubber at 35, front around 40ish. Either way, it does help. The tires don't look overflated, i.e. if you look at them from the side, they still have that slight "lip" protruding where they...

    wandering car after ford 17x9 cobra r wheel install

    When I purchased a new set of Firestone Firehawks, I wasn't aware that you can pump those babies all the way up to 44psi! I was running 33'ish or so, and the Fox Body wander was worse than ever. After pumpin them up to 40-42, the ride is much straighter. Anyway, the quality of your tire...

    Power Steering Pump / Quick Ratio Rack

    James, I'm gonna have to agree with you about the quicker rack. After an initial "break in" period, where the driver has to get used to the added responsiveness, he learns that this rack really does make a difference in the overall feel of the car. Almost feels like a big Go Cart, for lack...

    Power Steering Pump / Quick Ratio Rack

    I didn't like it at first.... way too "touchy" I thought. Now, I'm kinda getting used to it, and like it. The normative thinking is that the standard ratio is best for our cars though. -B-

    Power Steering Pump / Quick Ratio Rack

    Thanks James, Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. So, as I understand it, your pump started whining immediately after you replaced the rack to a quick ratio? That's exactly what happened to me anyway. I used to have underdrive pullies, but now the stockers are back on since the...

    Power Steering Pump / Quick Ratio Rack

    I can't find any info in the archives about my question: I replaced my rack & pinion with a quick ratio / high performance rack, but have not replaced the power steering pump. Is there in fact a different pump to handle the quick ratio racks, or will I be OK with the stocker? :shrug...
