    What hidden **** have you found in your used Mustang

    I found a pack of cigarettes in the trunkwell of my '01gt. It was just over a year old at the time (2002). I ended up smoking them. (Pack of winston lights). T/K

    4.6L 01+ mileage

    Like he said, I have a 4.10'ed '01 gt with 90% city driving with about 15mpg average. If you factor in a little highway driving, then you're looking at about 190-220 miles per tank. T/k

    What hidden **** have you found in your used Mustang

    Shortly after I bought my 85 GT (2003), I saw something in one of the A/C vents. I pulled over to look at it more closely. It turned out to be a pack of JOB cigarette rolling papers. Still in there to this day because apparently it is "sliding" around in the ducts and I can't get to it. I...

    Police are getting new license plate recognition technology - Video inside

    I wonder if the cop can use his discretion on pulling people over. (If it is mandatory, then nothing else would get done. More law enforcement would have to be hired just to keep up with demand). I'm only half joking on this -The machine would go into "overload" around my parts.

    cold starting problems '01 gt

    Hi, I have an '01 gt that dies right after start up. The only way to keep it running is to lay into the throttle for a while. Once the engine is warm, start up isn't usually a problem. I've checked all my under hood hoses, etc. I checked the pcv valve, seems ok. One weird thing that I've...

    5 speed vs's automatic

    I like both. My first mustang was an automatic and I swore I'd never get a mustang with an auto again. So when I bought my 2001 GT, made sure it was stick. It is fun to drive,now, however, I think I want to go back to automatics. I like auto for the fact that they will destroy a stick...

    Injectors/ and oil capacity questions

    I have a 2001 gt. The owners manual says five qts engine oil. If I fill any more than 5 qts, the car is overfilled and will burn oil.(so I know this to be the correct amount) However, From what I am told, other late model gt's require 6 qts. Is there a different oil pan used on 02 - up gt's...

    Digital display

    I'm looking for the procedure to display rpm's, and mph through the odometer on 99+ stangs. I've done this before but can't remember how to do it. Anyone have the procedure? Thanks in advance.

    Having a problem with doors on an '01 gt

    Very interesting replies. Thank you. I'll try rotating the wheel. If that doesn't work, then it's new wheels. Does anyone know if the door has to come completely off in order to change them?

    '99 Mustang GT - Reverse Lights not working!

    I really don't know because the dealer did it. -I didn't do it myself. It doesn't sound too difficult though.

    '99 Mustang GT - Reverse Lights not working!

    Most likely it is the connection in the tranny. I had the same problem with my '01 and it was repaired under warranty.The part the dealer replaced was called the reverse switch( I have the T-45 transmission), That was like 2 years ago. Now it's out again, but, I'm too lazy and cheap to get it...

    Having a problem with doors on an '01 gt

    driving me nuts. Both passenger and drivers doors are making a "cracking" sound when closed. I think it might have something to do with the wheel on the lower hinges. I've lubricated the hinges but they are still making the sound. Has anyone ever heard about or experienced something like...

    How long did stock tires last you?

    Good point. They are f'n expensive.

    How long did stock tires last you?

    Not necessarily true. It's a performance tire. They are all made of a soft rubber, so they'll hold the road, but wear very fast. So far, I've had 4 different brands on my car- they all have worn out quickly with not that much abuse either.

    What color coolant?

    I have a 2001 gt and just the other day I checked my coolant for the first time and it was a dark green color. I know this guy who has a 2004 gt with yellow coolant. He says its the high mileage stuff. Did my car not come with the same fluid as the '04? Just curious. Do Mustangs come with...

    How 'bout that traction control?

    I have mixed feelings about it. Lately, it seems like the TC is so sensitive, it is constantly coming on. I leave it off now in the snow but not so much in the rain. One thing that sort of bugs me about it is that I forget to turn it off sometimes at start-up and then when I tear @#s out...

    new to this genra of stangs 2000gt traction control

    My mistake!, It is actually "RDS" or (radio data system feature) and not "ABS". It looked like ABS to me and also someone told me it turned the abs on/off, but they were wrong and I was mistaken also. The Feature RDS actually recieves text information from FM based radio stations.

    new to this genra of stangs 2000gt traction control

    I've had my '01 for almost three years now, and just recently discovered that you can turn the ABS on/off thru the radio. But for the life of me, I can't figure out why anyone would disable the ABS system.
