    Glassback

    We have them on the lot and frankly I'm not that impressed. It does come with a manual shade but it is chintzy IMO. Its a screen like material and is not stretched very tight on the shade frame. I can see it flapping if riding with the windows down and the shade closed. I'm in Texas and the cars...

    what oil are you running?

    I'm 2200 miles into a run on the Mobil 1 0W20 and have seen no noticible gain in fuel economy. The car has 8400 miles on it and I changed out the factory fill at 500 miles with new Motorcraft 5W20 and FL820S filter. Switched to M1 5W20 at 3000 miles and tried the 0W20 at the 6k change. I've...

    08 GT transmission noise

    Funny you should mention the rear axle 69mach. Mine has a slight under power gear whine from 65-75 mph. I haven't tried Mobil 1 in the rear end yet and wonder if it would help. I sure hate to tear into it under warranty if this is common on these cars. Anyone else have a little whine? :shrug:

    Age check.

    Well I guess I fit the "older" trend. I'm the big 5.0 liter....50 here. :rlaugh: My first new car was a V8 Mustang at 16 in high school. For those of you old enough to remember, that was the infamous Mustang II ! Man what a hot rod that was! :rlaugh: This is my 8th one over the years and they...

    3V Spark plug change hell

    I agree on the top tier gasoline. I changed the plugs out on my 05 F150 5.4 3V at 30k miles and they came right out with no problems. They actually looked almost new with no gunk on them at all. I only used Shell gas in it so am doing the same in the Stang. I really believe its worth it over the...

    08 GT transmission noise

    I saw nothing in the manual about not using synthetic in the transmission. I too am using the new Mobil 1 multi vehicle ATF which says it meets Mercon V specs. It does shift much smoother especially when cold so I'm going to risk it. My guess is if I run into problems who is going to do a UOA on...

    spark plug change

    Yes thats true. I should have made that clearer. Some of the early build 08's will have the AA engine code and old style plugs. The AB code engines will be the new style head and plug. These were produced after 11/30/07. Sorry for any confusion.

    9005s in the fogs

    Did the same thing in my former F150. The 9005 is a high beam bulb however and doesn't have the shield coating on the tip of the bulb. This means you will probably blind people and get flashed a lot. Wasn't so bad on the truck cause the lights were low in the bumper. I just put Silverstar 9145"s...

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    08 GT std trans, 3:55 gears. Car is bone stock with 8k miles. My commute is 30 miles one way with 25 of that at highway speed. Mine's averaging 22.5-23.0 every tank. I make a highway run to Austin (190 miles roundtrip) approx once a week at 75-80 mph and it averages 28.5 mpg every time. Needless...

    HELP!!!

    :lol: You're screwed! Seriously though, is it only on that one rim or is it on the other one on same side? My guess is you got in something on the road...Lord know's what! :rlaugh: Don't know what else to suggest but hopefully it not the clearcoat stained. Good luck with it!

    Matching Fog Lights to Factory HID

    Yep its me! :D Yeah I actually got lucky for once and sold my F150 to a friend BEFORE the resale tanked! LOL Got enough to pay cash for a new toy and am loving it. I'm trying real hard to not let the mod bug bite like it did with the truck! :rolleyes:

    Matching Fog Lights to Factory HID

    Whats up Thump? Haven't seen you since the ole f150online days! :D I'm hoping my silverstars last a while since they light up everytime I unlock the car. With the factory HID's the foglights light up instead of the headlights when using the keyless entry. Guess Ford figures its better than...

    Hi gang..new member here.

    :cheers: Thanks guys! I know I know...we all love pics. Will try to figure out how to post them on here and get some on soon. This is my 8th Mustang over the years and must say the S197 is by far the best all around ponycar of them all!

    spark plug change

    Wish I could find the pic of the new head. Its posted on this site but haven't tried the search function yet. Basically the plug hole is threaded right down to the combustion chamber now just like the old days. They got rid of the non-threaded "tube" part of the head that the plug used to go...

    08 GT transmission noise

    Just a thought for the original poster. I too thought my new 08's tranny was a little noisy and hard to shift when cold. At about 3500 miles I switched it over to Mobil 1's new multi vehicle synthetic fluid. It meets the Mercon V spec and made a big difference in shift quality. It also seems to...

    Hi gang..new member here.

    It was quick. Ordered March 19th, built on April 21st, and delivered april 30th! I was very happy with the timeline. It was fun tracking it by rail all the way from Michigan to Texas. :D Oh and thank you for the welcome!
