    How to upgrade to Shaker 1000

    can't help on conversion but I think it may be cost prohibitive (at least in the near future because of the newness and lack of used parts) I have a '05 GT with the shaker 1000 and my dad has a '06 with the 500, there is a big difference I have heard many suposed audio experts say that...

    First oil change

    just some thoughts about filter wrenches you get what you pay for (no cheap china made tools please) no rubber strap wrenches for the first change if its a good metal type strap wrench with swival, the metal strap part will grab evenly around filter and not colapse it, even when very...

    New Mustang GT Fender Badge

    looks good, but I would prefer a 4.6 badge in Billet Aluminum, I think more people relate to 4.6 then 281 (I have over heard someone ask what S281 on a Saleen stands for at a car show) do a survey, have a choice! That said, I like my stock GT emblems

    Stock tire rotation

    on the statement "why re balance them if they feel fine or dont vibrate" sometimes you just get used to a minor harmonic vibration and everything feels fine, but after you have them rebalanced and rotated the car drives smoother the balance can and will change slightly as the tread wears...

    How much Trann Fluid is to much T-3650

    where is the fill, on side/front or side/rear I think the car needs to be level (like on a lift) to get good reading, I would go to the spec. amount why did you change so early, did you put in something special?

    Is Ford still using the H/C Trap?

    quickest test to see if trap is there is simply squeeze the rubber tube next to the plastic air box, if its soft you don't have it.

    Looking for info engine swap on 4v

    if your trying to swap in a mod 4v engine like out of a cobra into a '05 mustang platform then it should fit like it was made for it, I think Ford planed for this from the begining, reason being the FR500 5.0 liter cammer and the 5.4 Shelby if you do this do it to a V6, do you have modern...
