    Best Way To Do Struts On A Sn95?

    I get what you're saying, but my point is that the Milwaukee one has a much higher torque rating and its cordless, so its actually useful for guys like me who dont have an electrical outlet in the places we work on cars.

    Best Way To Do Struts On A Sn95?

    I dont think the pidly HF electric one will do the job, but this here Milwaukee cordless elctric impact wrench is rated up to 450 ft/lbs. : For $169 to your door, this doesnt look like a bad deal.

    Best Way To Do Struts On A Sn95?

    Thats not a bad idea. I got about $30 worth of stuff that I need to return at HF. Might not be a bad idea to see if I can pick up an electric impact.

    Im sure the impact wrench would work perfectly, but I dont have one or easy access to one. I tried vice grips, but I only have the smaller size and they didnt hold well enough.

    Best Way To Do Struts On A Sn95?

    I could use the $100+ it would cost for an hour or more of labor for the shop to do the struts for a lot of other better things.

    Im thinking about changing out struts on my 99 GT this weekend. My big issue is the 22mm strut nut atop the assmebly in the engine bay. Ideally, I would like to break this nut loose before I pull off the strut as opposed to taking it off after the stut has come off. The only problem is I've...

    Help: 99 Gt With 01 Motor; Possible Blown Head Gasket???

    UPDATE: No blown head gasket. Shop checked for a blown head gasket and said nothing indicates such. Apparently car was overheating because of a lack of coolant. Topped off coolant and car runs fine. Thanks for the input everyone.

    Help: 99 Gt With 01 Motor; Possible Blown Head Gasket???

    Right on. I hope its as simple as a bad water pump. Im going to have the shop do a compression or leak down test today to see if the motor is in good condition internally. As far as the flooded plug well, I know for a fact one of them got flooded with gas when I was pullling the intake. I...

    Help: 99 Gt With 01 Motor; Possible Blown Head Gasket???

    Before describing the problem, let me give some background on the car. The car is a 99GT 5spd coupe that had an 01 4.6 SOHC swapped in after the 99 motor blew. During installation, the tech broke a coolant line coming out of the heater core and went ahead and plugged it up (seen this on other...

    Ordering suspension tomorrow (good combo of parts?)

    Save your cash and don't waste money with CC plates. If your going with C springs, you wont need your CC plates. C springs will not lower the car enough. CC plates are a waste of money on anything with a 1.5in or less drop.

    As I posted previously... forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=574339 Anyway, as I suspected the crank position sensor was the key here, the crux of the problem was a nagging short along the wires leading to the CPK. That and a couple of fuses were blown. After having the wiring shorts and...

    Recurring problem please help!!!

    Thanks for the input, but I junked the plasma booster a long time ago, a few weeks after I first got it - I forgot to take it out of the sig. The crank wheel has the proper clearance - checked and rechecked that with a feeler gauge - if I remember correctly it should be .12 to .80 according...
