Hey everybody....long time since I've been on here. Blast from the past. Anyways, I am rebuilding a T5 and I figured this crowd would be the most knowledgeable. The problem I am having that I can't shift into reverse. With the shift fork cover off, I will try with all my might to manually...

Basically, with a tester like that, I can test the fuel pressure anywhere in system (not just at the shrader valve) on practically every car on the road today. You never know what car is going to come in and if you can't fix the car, then you don't get paid.

I could be wrong, but I'm almost positive that the compressor turns on in the A/C positions and defrost. Not in any of the other positions.

I agree with the poster above. Even it is manufactured under the name "Ford Racing", Ford will never cover it and your powertrain warranty would be gone. But adding a power-adder, regardless of manufacturer or installer, would void your Ford powertrain warranty. And alcohol injection does...

Since you're in Florida, you don't need to worry about freezing temperatures, you should use a 70/30 mix of water/ethylene glycol (green coolant). I live in southern CA and I use this ratio in my vehicles. 70/30 is good for warm climates since water is a better carrying away heat then coolant...

When checking fuel pressure, hook up the gauge to test port with the car off. Then turn the key to the "on" position. The pump should prime and the pressure should go up to about 40-45 psi. This pressure should hold steady even after the pump stops priming. If the pressure starts to fall...

Only possible if the hunting idle only happens when the A/C is on.

Impact guns are used everywhere to install wheels. I use torque sticks everyday. If the user is competent, the rotors will not warp.

Agreed. Being a dealership technician myself, if someone comes to me with an aftermarket part and I don't like, I'm not going to install it. If that part fails, the customer is going to blame the installer and not the part and expect free work to put in another one. I put in OE parts and only...

Signal voltage and reference voltage should be the same, KOEO or KOER.

Air pump seized. Just use a shorter belt and all will be good. Taking it off will only save a few pounds and could come back to bite you if you live in a state with a stringent smog program.

If you're going to go through the trouble of swapping rear ends, why don't you just go with an 8.8 or an aftermarket 9 inch?

Other way around.

The charging voltage at the battery should be the same as it is at the alt. You have a 1 volt drop between the two. Not good. Also the battery voltage with car off should be 12.6v. If you have 12.23v then it is only about 70% charged. I suggest you rectify these problems before you proceed.

Well I'm fairly new to the mustang family (bought my first about 2 months ago) and I have a question. My heater has never put out any sort of heat, but since the temp gauge never climbs past the L on NORMAL, I figured the previous owner removed the t-stat. I live in southern california, so the...

Alright, I did a search and had no luck. I'm looking for some seat brackets to fit my 88 GT. I have stock seats but both seat brackets are all bent out of shape from some "plus size" previous owners. Both seats sit crooked in the car. At this point, I don't have the cash for aftermarket...

I know Hurst is really famous for their shifters, and make several for the T5, but nobody ever mentions them. Its always about the tri-ax, pro 5.0, B&M and now the MGW. Is there a reason why Hurst isn't as popular? I like the look of the shift boot not coming all the way up to the shift knob...

I don't think Ford would put the GT motor in the Cobra. It doesn't seem very reasonable to think that someone would pay six figures for a GT when they could get the same power from a Cobra for $35k. I don't think Ford would even approach the 500hp mark with the Cobra. GT sales would be...

I agree. That's why I'm probably going to go with a Dart block when I stroke it and blow it. (that doesn't sound right)
