    Differential Fluid Change

    Mine was changed at about 5k with the install of a new ring and pinion I changed again recently at 35k with Royal Purple. (I should have done it again after R&P breakin but didn't) The fluid was quite funky and had more solids than I would have liked to see. After 3k miles on the Royal...

    Burning oil at startup

    Mine started blowing smoke on cold starts at <10k miles. I've since switched to full synthetic Mobil 1 which doesn't seem to produce much (if any) smoke when it burns. Problem solved....LOL

    I just tried this trick tonight. I have stock pulleys and an 07 gt . Used 680K6 for $17. 1/2 inch breaker bar, screwdriver and a printout of the belt path diagram. 10mins. Easy job! Thanks for the help!!! Track sucked tonight and 92% humidity. Worse than usual times so I have no...

    Fuel gauge problem.

    I have had issues with my fuel gauge not registering properly since new. If I leave the key in the "on" position when filling up the gauge doesn't register a full tank for quite a while. SCT says to remove the fan and pump fuses to reduce the likelyhood of a low voltage condition during...

    how many passes have you gotten

    I have roughly 75-100 passes on the car. (haven't counted slips) 38k miles The clutch feels like its near end of life. The differential oil showed a good amount of clutch pack wear at last change. The LCA poly bushings failed.

    Hood... What gives?

    I have a decent amount of hood movement at 100+. Tightening the rubber stops helped a bit but did not eliminate the issue. I have spent a good amount of time in the problem speed range and the hood has never dislodged. Tested to 150 with nothing more than movement. I have run the car at the...

    Winterizing Parking Brake

    Unfortunately the car is no longer covered by warranty. Even worse, the dealer I mentioned seems to be the best within a reasonable distance.

    Winterizing Parking Brake

    Has anyone found a solution to the Parking Brake freeze up issue? The solution I got from my Ford dealer was to not use the E-brake when it's cold out. LOL My car is stick and my curbless driveway is on a hill. I am hoping that I won't need to carry pieces of firewood in my trunk to chock...

    Tire Pressure Monitor fault

    I believe that tpms is now a federal mandate. Probably due to the number of accidents caused every year due to under inflated tires. Also, under inflated tires cause lower mpg and increase tire wear. I get a tpms warning when at the track with 2 wheels with no sensors on the back. I also use...

    whats with the trap speed?

    I am using the M/T 26x11.5 R17 ET streets @ 14psi. Getting good hook (still some spin) also getting some wheelspin inside the tire. These are shorter than stock. I would personally have preferred to go with a bit taller tire but these work well. You should knock a few tenths off that 60'

    whats with the trap speed?

    With the 4.10s and tune I am shifting in the 6200 range and hit the traps toward the top of 4th IMHO tires alone will probably buy you 3-5 tenths based on my experience with my car, your mods and based on your 60' time. I'm not sure how much time the tune will buy you, but the butt dyno says...
