    Tsbs After Warranty Expired?

    Does Ford still perform TSB repairs after the warranty is out? I have he rattling inspection cover on the bellhousing. I tried to fix it with some foam tape between the cover and bell housing, which bowed the top in and it started scraping against the flywheel. On top of the fact that it still...

    Got A Leak Today :(

    After a torrential downpour, somewhere in the passenger side, water came in behind the kick panel in the front footwell. I believe my smart junction box got wet because the radio won't turn off when I open the doors even with the key out. I pulled the cowl, and there is no debris or even water...

    Thruxtons no longer in production?

    I'm hoping to get wheels/tires before the end of summer, and liked the Thruxtons but they're out of stock everywhere and not on TSWs site anymore. I also like the Godspeed Omegas but they won't fit with a big brake kit. That wouldn't matter much now but I would like to upgrade in the future...

    :( Won't run after tune and CAI install

    Installed my JLT CAI and loaded up the tune from Bama, and now the car won't run :( I'll have to call Bama in the morning and try to troubleshoot. Only 18K on the odometer, the MAF is positioned correctly, and the TB looks pristine clean. And for the record, not bashing Bama. Their...

    Basics of tuning...

    Is there a guide to this anywhere? I've used search, and maybe haven't gone back far enough, but coming from the pushrod crowd, I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to tuning. So afraid to do something wrong and hurt my car. Thinking about picking up a Diablosport Predator, but should I wait...

    I've left the fold

    Sold the GTS a few weeks ago. HATED to see her go:( On the plus side I just picked up an '06 GT. Needed something reliable, the GTS had been mothballed for 5 years, and my truck was nickel and diming me to death. It was time to make a change. (Meanwhile most people are probably thinking, WHO the...

    New S197 for me!

    Just picked up a 06 GT with only 7K on the clock. Lots of the old timers will remember me, for those that don't, I was strictly a pushrod guy. I'll be using search as much as possible, but forgive me if I ask the random dumb question....

    Possible purchase tomorrow...will I wish I hadn't? Tranny ?

    I'm in a situation where I pretty much have to buy a car in the next day or so. I was looking at Ford Fusions, but happened upon an '05 GT. The only problem is, it's an automatic. I'm one of those that said I would NEVER buy a car like this with an auto, but I'd much rather have a stang again...

    Burning alternators!??

    This is actually about the 5.0 in my truck, but I'm hoping someone can help. The alternator went bad in my truck, and I've had to replace it 3 times since in 3 months. The voltage regulator is new with each alternator. What could be causing it to burn up repeatedly? The battery is old but I've...

    Block question.....

    Just pulled the absolutely clean and spotless engine out of my 93 F-150. Someone had previously rebuilt it, everything on it was new, but obviously they screwed up somewhere. Had no compression in the #7 cylinder. Pulled the head to find a chunk of piston missing, and a gouge in the cylinder...

    For the first time ever, the stang has a home!!! It's been parked in my parents side yard since Aug of last year. Finally moved it to the new house last night. First time I've driven since it was parked, my dad moved it around and started it every week to keep it from suffering from the long...
