    Alarm going off within minutes of locking the doors.

    This just started. It's really wet here right now. Rain that's freezing. A while back I would have strange electrical problems where when the car was frozen and I would hit the unlock driver door button from the inside the horn would honk a single honk. Almost guaranteed when it's frozen...

    GT exhaust on a v6?

    Hey guys. I have an off-road "H" pipe that I've used on my '98 GT. A guy that lives 100 miles away from me wants to buy it for his '04 v6. I told him that I'm not so sure it would fit. It looks like the headers on both the GT and the v6 are 1-5/8" diameter but I'm not so sure about fitment...

    1998 GT - fuel gauge strange light

    Anyone know what is going on here? About a month or two ago I was driving and on my fuel gauge, just a small portion of the "F" and a small portion of the line above the "F" lit up really bright with a green light. Then it changed to bright blue. Not the whole "F" and not the whole line above...

    In car cameras for convertible mustangs

    Does anyone have an in-car camera in their convertible? I have a '98 GT 'vert and am thinking about putting in front and rear cameras. I don't want it to look too ugly. I'm thinking the front may have to be mounted on the passenger side "A" piller since my driver's side has gauges. Maybe the...

    How do I remove the central junction box on an 02 Explorer?

    I can see the fuse side but the relay I need to get to is on the other side. How do I pull it down? I'm not seeing it.

    How much would you charge to change out a fuel pump?

    It's on a '98 Ford Windstar Van. 3.8L engine and 10 pounds of sugar in the gas tank... and you have to do it on the side of the road by an apartment complex and a zombie army of crack heads...

    Scratch the Cats or spank the monkey?

    This sucks... it all started out with me getting some water into my tail pipes (or I think that was what it was) and the car started to run like crap and the CEL came on. P1131. So, over time I think I'm blowing out the water and little by little the car is coming back to normal. Now there is...

    Grinding the Swaybar... bad idea?

    I was under my Mustang earlier and finally found where a scraping noise is coming from. Sometimes when I do a fast hard start or have a lot of weight in the back seat, I would hear a scraping noise on take off. I found that my rear sway bar on the ends is scraping my exhaust pipes on hard take...

    Banana in the tail pipe...!

    Okay, not a banana but crap... I had the car pointing down our steep driveway and washed her. I wasn't even thinking when I was spraying under the car. Now it seems I have water in my cats... The smell is bad, the car is running rough and the CEL just came on. Could this do real damage or...

    Steering squeal question...

    Generally speaking... what would cause squealing once you turn your steering wheel all the way one way or the other? It only happens when the end is reached. :shrug:

    Where to get 01 Cobra fuel pump?

    As the title says... I'm looking for a fuel pump for an '01 Cobra. I'm looking for something cheap yet good quality. Anyone have any leads?

    Need answers quick! Nitto 555R 315s water box or no?

    I'm getting ready to go to the track in a couple hours. I have new Nitto tires on my car. NT555 245/45R17s on the front (9" wheel) and... NT555R 315/35R17s on the rear 10-1/2" wheel. Should I run them through the water box? Or do a quick non-water box burn out to clean them off?

    Let's talk octane booster...

    Do you use it or have you used it? Did it help in any way? Is there a down side to it? :shrug: I have a blower and I'm lucky if I can get 91 octane here. I tried some and it seemed to make the car smoother. What do the rest of you think?

    2011 Spring Race Thread...

    Anyone going to take their car to the track this Spring? May 13th is our first day so I'm sort of getting ready. I'll be going to a track south of here instead of Bandimere 100 miles to the north. We'll see how it goes. Post up on Spring time track time... (I'll be back with my stuff if...

    94-98 those that put on the Mach 1 chin spoiler...

    Getting ready to attach mine. Did you guys completely take off the stock one? I'm missing the center piece but it looks like the side pieces are rivited on. I think if I leave any of the old one on that it would look tacky from the wheel well. What did you guys do? :shrug:

    More eye candy... pics...

    So you saw the pictures of my new wheels. After I mount some Nitto 555Rs on them in a couple months I'll take pictures of the whole car. http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/833569-those-who-have-had-wheels-delivered-ups.html#post8396990 I also bought a couple MSD Blaster Coil Packs... Not...

    Anyone here swap their KB pulley?

    I'm going to go from a 9lb (3-1/4" I think) to a 12lb (3" I think) cause our air is so thin up here. Do I have to use Kenne Bell's pulley or is there alternatives? And will any pulley tool work?

    Those who have had wheels delivered by UPS...

    Those who have had wheels delivered by UPS... UPDATED W/PICS! When they arrived did you have the driver wait while you inspected all four of them? I'm sure the driver won't be here for awhile yet so hopefully someone can tell me if it's kosher to hold the driver up. TIA

    Do you have a narrow band A/F gauge? I have a question...

    I've had my Auto Meter narrow band Air/Fuel gauge forever sitting in my A pillar. So the other day I finally hooked it up. I attached the ground to the frame. I attached the switched power to the radio power in. And I took the signal off of the Bank 1 upstream O2 sensor at the PCM. It works...

    Changing brake pads... where to grease?

    Hey guys! I'm supposed to know this but I missed that day in class. I'm replacing my brake pads all around. I have the synthetic grease. Where do I put that on the calipers? Anywhere else like the back of the pads? I tried looking it up but couldn't find the answer. TIA :flag:
