    Dim Light on Autometer gauges?

    Auto Meter site says an LED bulb can't be used with the clock . . . may try it anyway, though.

    Dim Light on Autometer gauges?

    I was considering upgrading my stock gages in the '92 to the Auto Meter Ultra-Lite series. I also thought they would be a nice addition to my '65 project. Before doing the full upgrade, I decided to buy just the clock to see if I liked the look of the Ultra-Lite series. (The clock on my after...

    Power Steering Heat Exchanger?

    What type of driving conditions would warrant installation of a heat exchanger (cooler) in the power steering system? Seems like it would have to be a lot of yanking & banking to need it.

    Can the odo mileage be "turned back" on a late model?

    Duh! I wasn't asking anything about CarFax. That wasn't the subject. If I was interested in the car after seeing it, THEN I would have gotten my own report. Why pay money unnecessarily?????? Maybe you have it to burn; I don't.

    Can the odo mileage be "turned back" on a late model?

    No question that sticker wasn't on there 60 seconds after I drove off. It's not that hard to overwrite EEPROM with the right interface & software. Just don't know how hard it is with late models. This guy had some high-end European models, too, so it would certainly be within his means to...

    Can the odo mileage be "turned back" on a late model?

    No, didn't run my own CarFax. After seeing it, I wasn't that interested.

    Can the odo mileage be "turned back" on a late model?

    Anyone know if the electronic odometer can be "turned back" on a late model 'stang? I was looking at a 2003 GT yesterday and the reading was 80k, but there seemed to be an awful lot of interior wear for just 80k. The wife's 2002 that we traded in a few months back had over 100k of hard...

    Gapping Plugs???

    I recently purchased a set of Autolite XP Xtreme Performance spark plugs. The instructions on the Autolite web site says to check and correct the gap as necessary (just like I've always done with every other plug). The gaps in the new plugs all needed to be adjusted. But then my usual...

    Whats the deal with mustangs these days

    My story: Actually did something similar. (Advice to follow.) Had a Fox body mustang 5.0 5-Spd. Had my dad's old truck. The old truck gave out and the miles were piling up on the Mustang (200K+). My thought, "Hey, why not replace both with one?" Sold off the old truck and bought a 2003...

    Don't ever sell your Fox

    That's one thing that urks me so much about having to sell my '89. I bought it new via special order in March '89. I knew every that had ever been done to it, and exactly how it was maintained. Buying another one now is just a crap shoot. :(

    Don't ever sell your Fox

    That'll work. One of the reasons I let go of the '89 so easily is that I would like to have another '68 and restomod it up to my content. Still miss the Fox, though.

    how hard is the converstion

    Best to be patient and wait for what you want. There's a complete turnover in the used market every two to three months. It'll be cheaper in the long run.

    Don't ever sell your Fox

    Sold my '89 LX 5.0 about a year and a half ago, even though I had read and heard numerous times in this forum and may other places how people regretted selling theirs. Biggest mistake I ever made. :bang: There's no other car out there, new or old, that can match the Fox Mustang's "fun...

    Fox with aftermarket power sunroof?

    Just because it's a factory roof and has drain tubes doesn't mean it won't leak. Fist, you've got to keep dirt and debris out of the tubes. I had the factory popup/removable roof on my '89 Mustang, and it did leak. Once because of a stopped up drain, and almost continually around the latch...

    Fox with aftermarket power sunroof?

    That's a chance you take, but not necessarily true. The wife had an aftermarket power roof installed in her '90 Cougar. She did it through the dealer at the time of purchase, though it was installed by an independent company. The dealer covered it with the usual new car warranty, PLUS a...

    Solid Axle vs. IRS weight?

    I'm in the market for another Musting since selling my last one. And, I'm on the fence about whether to look for one with IRS, or stay with a solid axle. My '89 had the stock solid 8.8, but we also had a '97 T-Bird with IRS. In many ways, the T-Bird was more well behaved (handling & ride)...

    Solid Axle vs. IRS weight?

    I'm sure this asked been asked and aswered before, but my search didn't turn up the answer. What is the difference in weight of a stock sold axle vs. a Cobra-type IRS? Anyone know? Thanks
