    Carbon Fiber clutch packs in diff, Do I have a problem?

    I had the diff rebuilt with the FRP carbon fiber clutch pack kit, new FRP 3.55 gears, shims and bearings. I also used royal Purple fluid. After about 4K I checked the fluid and noticed small granuals of the carbon fiber material in the fluid. Is this normal after break in? It's runs smooth...

    moaning coming from the rear only when turning left or right while coasting

    I'm hoping this is not the case. It's not a constant noise. I've narrowed it down to right after the brakes are applied and then released. For instance, it made the noise when pulling in and turning to park this morning, but after sitting for a few hours it did not make the noise when I...

    moaning coming from the rear only when turning left or right while coasting

    That's got to be it... I didn't realize that the calipers were making contact all the time. I figured that it only moaned when you were braking Time to get a good set of LCA's and ditch the quad shocks so that I can put the anti-moan brackets on

    moaning coming from the rear only when turning left or right while coasting

    Would it just start all of the sudden? I installed MM poly steering rack bushings (no offset) and a 03-04 cobra steering rack with cobra ends about 18 months ago. I haven't heard anything until I started messing with the rear

    moaning coming from the rear only when turning left or right while coasting

    I'm pretty sure it's coming from the rear. I thought at first that it might be from the front but I really listened to it this morning and I think it's more from the rear. You may be onto something with the breaks. I had new cobra calipers and the cobra rear break kit installed with the...

    For you electrical guys.

    You shouldn't need to mess with the battery cable or tee off for the sending unit. But the bolt on my negative battery cable I think was 7 mm Assuming your oil filter neck has the extra port near the original oil pressure sensor just use that one. There's pictures of that setup all over...

    moaning coming from the rear only when turning left or right while coasting

    Like the title states I have moaning coming from the rear only when turning left or right while coasting. I thought it was in the front, but I'm almost positive it's from the rear. The noise is louder when turning right. It's still there when turning left, but fainter. I just had the...

    How do I tell if my diff is slipping?

    got 3.55's, new bearings and the carbon clutch pack kit installed. It's nice and tight now with no whine or noise. I also needed rear breaks and calipers so I had them throw on the cobra rear brake kit and a set of black cobra calipers.

    No $$$ for Mods...?

    I've made it through 8 years of ice, snow and bad traffic here in Jersey with no problems. Most of that time was on bald gatorbacks too. But, if I had to store it for the winter I would watch football and read MM&FF

    getting my first stang

    If it still has it's original shocks/struts I would replace those and add an eiback pro kit set of springs with energy suspension isolators. Chances are after 10 years those shocks are hammered. The suspension setup in my signature works very well. I think it ran me around $550 for shocks...

    Talked off a ledge

    I almost sold mine to keep my 93 FD RX7. But in the end I just couldn't f'n do it. That twin turbo was expensive to maintain anyway. I was happy as hell when any bill for the FD was under $1000. Fastest car I ever owned though

    Battery Drain (Not A Stang)

    I had a similar problem in my wife's 99 G20. It drained an Optima Red top down to 11.5 volts. When you would jump it and check the alternator it would put out 13.2 With just the AC on it would kick down to 12.9 So we figured it was the alternator. I let sears test the charging system and...

    How do I tell if my diff is slipping?

    Will do.... I'm going to take all 4 rims off this weekend and scrub them down with simple green on both sides. I'll check then. I did find a nail in one of them, so the term visable must be taken lightly Ha ha ha. Since the Nittos are softer and grip harder my gas mileage took a hit. I...
