    MRT Hood Struts - Just Installed!

    During the last few inches of travel, the struts (actually gas springs) are pushing straight rearward on the hood. Little if any upward force. Shuts same as before. I prefer the look of mine tho http://www.modularfords.com/forums/2005-mustang/first-mod-39302.html?highlight=mod

    AC not cooling that well

    Once the inside of the car is cooler than the outside temp, push the recirculate button. That causes the a/c to pull air from inside the car instead of the hotter outside. The a/c can only lower the air temp about 18 degrees per pass, so If its sucking in 108 deg air the best you can hope for is...

    Diablo/Pred/etc and Automatics...

    I have the xcal2 and it has fully adjustable shift points up AND down, predator does not. The xcal2 also eliminates throttle lag, instead of gas and wait...you gas and GO. The adjustable shift point screen (on the pc software) looks like a graph with 8 color coded lines, 4 for upshift, 4 for...

    Suggested Mods?

    I highly recommend the Xcal2 programmer over the preditor. It does a much better job of getting rid of the throttle lag especially if you have an auto. Also recommend tunes by Bamachips.com, I have his basic 87 octane tune and the difference was night and day. .

    AC not cooling that well

    Is it a hard top or vert? I have heard of verts being hard to keep cool. Also, are you in heavy traffic? You have to be moving 30+ mph or so for the ac to work well. .

    Two words, warranty sucks I'm with bigcat, Do it yourself even if it is under "warranty" our local dealer kept our truck for 3 days and the trained monkeys they have couldnt find a problem, I got home and found it within 5 minutes, popping idler arm. Recalls and major warranty work, let...

    Stereo Question

    I would go skipper 500 and do what 06GTVert said. WAY too much money for a speaker and amp. Still factory look and a much better system, aftermarket stuff has warranty too. IMO the ford warranty is all but useless, have you tried to have anything fixed? They will always find a reason not...

    My pass. side rattle is fixed...here's how!

    Why would you want the dealer to handle it if you have already fixed it yourself??? I agree it is almost always better to do it yourself, most "mechanics" are idiots.

    Detailed writup on how to drop your 05 stang cutting the stock springs

    By my rough calculation,and assuming the spring went from 6.5 active coils to 5.5 I get a new rate of 201 lbs/inch and about 2 inches shorter. Which is almost exactly what the aftermarket ones are rated at. All springs follow a formula, the laws of physics do not change when bubba cuts it...

    test Drive

    Glad to see someone finally say something about that. Waaay too much car for an inexperienced driver. IMO, Inexperience + any car = an accident waiting to happen. and, Inexperience + fast car = BAD accident waiting to happen. Dont take my word for it, read the statistics....

    What are my rights?

    30anniv, I dont have a solution to your problem. But I would try to isolate the problem area, since you say its heat related, Try running some clothes dryer duct from your vents to the ecm you spoke of and keep it cool and see if it still does it, if it does, its probably somewhere else. It...
