    Transmission fluid

    My wife’s 2013 2.0 Ecoboost Escape owners manual says the first transmission fluid change is scheduled at 150,000 miles. I just did a triple drain and refill running through 12 qts of new LV fluid. Her odometer is at 26,850. Look at this fluid comparison between old and new. The old stuff is...

    Brakes Brake fluid change

    I’m getting into a brake fluid change on my 92 LX. The picture shows I have the master cylinder cap off and you see the float in there. Can I just reach down in there with needle nose and pull that float out? The reason I want to do that is I want to start by siphoning out as much of the...

    Electrical Contour fans wiring

    I have the dual contour fan assembly on my 92. The setup has been controlled by the DCC variable speed controller and I liked it very much but I think that controller has failed and considering the cost of replacing it I’m looking for other options. I understand the Taurus fan wiring is a...

    tuning with Moates

    Hi gents, it's been a while and I hope you all are well. I had a bad injector a while back and had gone back to NA. In the near future I want to go back under boost. I now have new 42LB injectors and also had the MAF recalibrated and I have a data sheet for that. I have ready to utilize...

    Electrical upgraded fuel pump wiring

    For those of you who have upgraded the fuel pump wiring, what gauge wire did you jump up to? Also, about the inertia cut off switch, did you bypass it or accept it's designed amp rating? I'll be using a Foxbody inertia switch on a non ford vehicle as a safety to cut off pump in the event of...

    Tape deck and amp

    What are the factory premium radio / cassette head unit and under seat power amp worth these days? I think I also have the dash and door speakers. Might be putting it all up for sale. It’s the original stuff from my 92 LX.

    Convertible top motor

    This part has a good pump but the electric motor portion works intermittently. When it decides not to work you can knock on it with a wrench and it will work again. Is it easy to take these apart and repair or would you say this part is junk and should be scrapped?

    Factory h pipe

    Is the factory h pipe for the 93 Cobra and the other 5.0 LX and GT’s the same part? Are they really as valuable as this eBay seller thinks they are? I have a complete intact factory h pipe from my 92 5.0 LX and it has only 60k miles of use on it. What is it worth...

    Oil pressure sender

    I’m want to replace a suspected wonky oil pressure sender. The stock one I’m removing is a larger metal canister type. The standard motor products replacement part available at Rock Auto looks different. The case looks smaller and is plastic. Is this replacement part the correct one even...

    Exhaust Want to add cats

    I’m looking to add cats to the aftermarket exhaust on my 92. 1. The car has dyno runs with 400hp at the wheels and I don’t want to restrict that. Can this be accomplished? 2. I would like to retain my existing exhaust components and splice the cats in. I currently have shorty headers, x...

    hatch lock removal

    I'm trying to remove the hatch lock cylinder. I have the rivet removed already. I pried down on the retainer and it came down about 3/8" but its difficult to get it down further. How far down do I have to get the retainer in order to pull the cylinder out? If the retainer clip is being...

    Forced Induction V3si pulley change

    On the front of the V3 pulley is the plastic cap that when you remove it, it voids the warranty. I understand why Vortec puts it on there but certainly it's possible to change the pulley properly and not harm anything. On the other hand, what are the ways you can do damage by improper pulley...

    Foxbody values

    Since used car prices are higher now, does that higher market value also apply to our Foxbody cars? Or are we still just a niche market for whatever it happens to be worth ?

    Electrical playing radio with engine off

    Consider you have a fully charged standard group 58 battery in your car and a sound system with 200 watt head unit and a 250 watt sub woofer. Roughly how long could you run this sound system at high output level without the engine running before depleting the battery enough that the car...

    fuel cutoff inertia switch

    I've never had problems with the inertia switch on either of my Foxbody cars. I assume they are pretty reliable. Are they as reliable as I think? I'm asking because I might want to use one on another vehicle I'm working on. It's an LT1 - 4L60e from a 94 Z28 in a 79 Malibu wagon. The...
