    need a jack and spare...

    Natasha Wondering if anything was ever worked out on this? We ended up paying out of pocket and bought a spare tire, wheel and jack/tools and would love to be reimbursed for something that should have been there with a car of this caliber/price.

    Not happy with Ford product or service

    Anyone think its odd that the exscessive squeeling and return of gear noise are both in the rear end? I know it shouldnt be related....but..... Maybe axle issues of some sort putting strain on the gears and rotors/calipers? Seems remote...and probably just coincidence......but.....

    2008 GT500 or 2011 Mustang GT?

    I would go with the '11, unless the coolness of having the GT500 means a lot to you. That said, I would probably wait just a while longer and see what the next version brings if I didnt have to decide right now. In any regard, its a nice "problem" to have....LOL....good luck!

    Blown Motor with 11k miles

    Maybe the OP should have checked their oil -- but there is no way that the engine "used" 3 quarts of oil in 6k miles. Likely the dealer who did the oil change screwed up and underfilled it....by 3 quarts!!!!!! Even if it did use that much oil in 6k miles, there is a major engine issue...

    Problem with American Muscle hood struts!!!!

    AMChrisRose I just received a credit back on my credit card for the original purchase, which is the way the CSR suggested- said I should just send everything back and wait till the new brackets are available, and then re-order. Can you let me/us here know when the new brackets are ready so I...

    Problem with American Muscle hood struts!!!!

    Chris, I could really use your help. LOL I sat on the phone again for the third time and explained (or tried to) what you had said here to the tech I talked to....and he seemed to understand. But today I got a THIRD set of struts with the incorrect brackets. Since you guys do not allow UPS...

    Problem with American Muscle hood struts!!!!

    Thanks everyone. I contacted AM via phone again per their email. I explained what Chris Rose said here and the person on the phone said they would contact their warehouse to see what the deal was and get back to me. That was a couple days ago. Havent heard back yet. But I got an email...

    Problem with American Muscle hood struts!!!!

    Ok, so I went back to their site and looked at some the closeup pictures. So the directions are wrong then? My directions, and the ones on the site, clearly show the inside of the angle facing the fender -- the owner pictures on the site show the brackets sitting like an "L" on the fender, and...

    Problem with American Muscle hood struts!!!!

    I cant seem to see the pictures folks here have posted. But "upside down" ? Can somone describe this? I tried matching up the brackets every way shape and form and the only way the hole would line up with anything is if the bracket sticks up ABOVE the level of the fender .......and then the...

    Problem with American Muscle hood struts!!!!

    I purchased a set of the black hood gas struts for my wife's 2011 Mustang as a Christmas gift. I went to install them today for her and was disappointed to find that the fender brackets do not fit. The bolt hole is waaaaay off and will not work. The bracket appears to need to be about a...

    Starkey fog light kit

    Well, thats just dumb. Why a company wouldnt do that. Anyways, the kit is easy if you have any mechanical skill at all. I used ramps to get the front end up.......mine are standard height ramps and they dont fit under the 'Stang on "level" (flat) ground....I pulled the car into my...

    Starkey fog light kit

    Sorry for the delay. Here is a pic....it really looks stock. The directions are very clear and easy to follow....maybe conbtact Starkey and see if they will send a PDF of them? Pricey, but there is something to be said for ease of install and OEM looks.

    GT In snow?

    None of what you say is necessarily wrong. We all have different experiences. In the same way you have to learn how to drive a RWD in the snow you have to learn how to drive a FWD in the snow. All else being equal though, FWD , with the weight over the drive wheels and pulling instead of...

    GT In snow?

    By "more maneuverable" do you mean in executing fishtails? LOL I have been stuck behind more than a few rear wheel drive cars on hills around here waiting for them to park the damn thing so I can get around them in my FWD or 4WD. If you are "passing 4x4s and Jeeps in ditches" it is because...

    GT In snow?

    I know the OP wont want to hear this, but I also agree with the folks. A rear wheel drive car , even with studs, will NEVER be anywhere near as sure footed on snow like a FWD or AWD/4WD is. Unless its a super heavy car. My wife's 76 Nova 4-door (back in the late 80s) with studs was a tank but...
