    Battery - Dead, dead, dead...

    Noticed a very slight pause when starting up the past few days. When I say very slight, I mean it. Someone not familiar with the cr probably wouldn't have even noticed it. Got to work yesterday, parked, and sat in the car for 5 minutes getting my stuff together. After a few minutes, the...

    Care with the 4th to 5th shift 2011 5.0 6M

    Yes, I have felt the shifter try and go into the wrong "gate" several times before but always at normal driving speeds. This is the first time it happened when I had my foot in it. I'm looking at that new Steeda shifter, (video shown elsewhere) and plan on putting one in. This is the first time...

    3.73's. Yeah, it was the longest 2 seconds not sitting in a dentist's chair I've ever experienced. ;-)

    Care with the 4th to 5th shift 2011 5.0 6M

    Whooee... Just got the car back from Ford. Messing around on a deserted part of the freeway on the way home from work and I missed 5th, at red line in 4th, and slipped back into 3rd. Not good. Speedo lit up like a video game and the car slid around out back like someone had layed down some...

    New 5.0 Owners With CAI/Tunes

    Well, it seems as though I was one of the very few that got a malfunctioning SC3. Worked through it with Gus, a very nice fella by the way, and the thing is on it's way back to Steeda with the promise of a quick turn-around for a new one. Ah well, I guess I'll just have to keep driving the...

    Mystery Bluetooth Device in my Used 05 GT

    Yep, looks like a Bluetooth alarm combo or some such. Have you traced the wiring back to it's origin? If it's wires to nowhereville then the prior owner, or maybe the dealer where you got it, removed the guts and left the "Head" unit in place for cosmetic reasons. Speaking of cosmetics, get...

    New 5.0 Owners With CAI/Tunes

    Steeda CAI went together and installed perfectly. My problem is the programmer. Pretty sure I did all the right steps in the correct sequence, from updating firmware to turning the key to on when instructed. No read with an error code displayed on device, 1038, at least I think that was the code...

    Post Pics of Your Mustang

    Bought this Candy Red beauty from Galpin Ford in the SF Valley. Part of the deal was a 1.5" lowering kit installed by their shop GAS (Galpin Auto Sports). That's where the TV show "Pimp My Ride" is/was filmed. Before: After: And: I like it. :D Car has 3.73's, 6 SP...

    ATTENTION: Owners of 2011 Mustangs with a shimmy/vibration in the car/steering

    What do you feel is causing the "shimmy"? I've got about 1100 miles on a two week old, brand new (to me) car and haven't noticed anything. The steering is a bit different than I'm used to but I just chalked that up to it being "electric". Does the shimmy present itself in certain sutuations...

    New to Forum, not new to Mustangs

    Just bought a new, 2011 5.0 Premium from Galpin Ford in Red Candy Metallic, 3.73's, and a soon to be installed 1.5" lowering kit from their GAS Department. Love the car so far, just about everything I thought it would be. I drove the Automatic but loved the Stick. Not sure yet if I'm going to be...
