    Brakes Rear Pads Tight

    Replacing the rear rotors, guides and the pads on my 01 gt, the new pads are extremely tight in the guides and do not want to slide freely like the front, is this normal? How tight are they supposed to be? Thanks for any advise.

    Looking For Honest Mechanic

    Yea I did that and came up empty handed. Sucks being a girl cause mechanics either think you are gullible and stupid or despise you cause you like cars and can understand what their saying even if you don't know all the terminology. Guess i will have to just take a chance and more than likely...

    Help With My Stereo System

    Hi, I have a 2001 gt which has the 460 mach sound system. Thought that was gonna be good but don't think that any more. 1st there is no base at all,so thinking one of the amps is bad, but which one, are the 2 amps different? Then there is the head unit, it will not play cd's and the volume is...

    Need Engine :(

    I wish I could do the work myself, but do not have a lift or even an engine hoist. Weather I get a used engine, new crate motor or rebuild this one, I would have to pay someone. Unless I fall backwards into some money! But in reality, I really like my car, she has just under 140k miles, I do...

    Need Engine :(

    Hi y'all, I have a 2001 gt. Just got her for Christmas last. I think she is a solid car, except the motor. She will puff blue smoke once in awhile, am on my 3rd iac valve. So I know she has some blow by. She has no body damage to speak of, does need a paint job, ac compressor is weak but may...

    Iac Vavle

    I want to say thank you for your help and advice! I want to pursue and figure out the problem,make it right! This is my first mustang and I love her! But the husband is being skeptical and says that if it is blow by that it's not worth putting an engine in, and would rather me get rid of her and...

    Iac Vavle

    Thank you for the read. Napa did give me a new one, it's on, working fine. But I am going to look into some of those possibilities. I'm kinda hoping it's that I am unlucky in buying bad (new) parts! But I really do appreciate the link and the help, very informative, if not a little over...

    Iac Vavle

    Hello All I have a question. Still learning about my mustang. The IAC valve went bad, it was 14 years old, can't complain. Got a new one from napa, it was bad right off the bat. Traded it out for another one, that was more exspensive. It is 2 months old and it has gone bad. My question is : if...

    Have Problem !! Timing Cover Replacement !

    Thanks for the great idea of the junk engine. :neat: As soon as I can I will do that. Yes we have a garage, air compressor, air tools, power tools, but can't do mechanical work in the garage cause the husband paints cars in there, can't do both in the same space, contamination! The husband has...

    Have Problem !! Timing Cover Replacement !

    Thank you Three50won! The job is done, correctly too! Didn't have to pay a fortune for labor just to have something else broke in the process. The last mechanic put a small tear in the leather of the driver seat and put 2 gouges in the window tint of the passenger door. That is why I will learn...

    Have Problem !! Timing Cover Replacement !

    Wow, really! If your so competent at working on this engine and you see that I replaced the timing cover, which means one must remove the valve/cam covers, then you should therefore know that I was speaking about the transmission filler tube, for short the trani filler tube ! BTW, I am a girl!
