    Thinking about lengthening my steering shaft

    No help, only sympathy. I have the same problem with long arms. Ford did a piss poor job when it came to driver comfort. How does your right knee feel after a long ride resting one the edge of the center stack? Happy New Year.

    did a little interior work.

    I agree with the boney knee thing. It' a complaint of mine since new. Extra padding would be nice.

    Something loose in front end.

    Not my issue either Jason. I have yet to find anything that seems to be a real fix for this nagging wide spread issue. Today I found a new cure at another site. An a-arm support bar. Apparently it's used on converts and the Shelbys. BMR also makes an aftermarket piece. I thought COOL, that may...

    )))XM Radio(((

    Has anyone installed an XM or other sat. radio tuner in their stang? If so, what location did you use to mount. And what about antenna location. I'm considering putting one in, but not don't want to do any hole drilling on exterior to mount antenna. Thanks

    More good stuff - TSBs

    afixer, thanks so much for posting these TSB's. I went in yesterday for the ever present axle whine & popping in front end. I took these with me, What a suprise! The tech writer didn't get defensive or offended that I had brought copies with me. I typically have very bad luck getting dealers to...

    Detailing tips

Has UV protection, more subtle shine than armorall and NO Silicone. It's available at marine supply stores like west marine and some auto supply. This...

    VIN question

    Okay, I guess I should have been more explicit. The 8th digit is the engine code. I went to Ford Fleet and entered my VIN. It came back with a 4.0 in my 05 GT. I can assure everyone it does in fact have a 4.6. I was just wondering what code anyone else has for the 8th digit. I'm guessing the...
