    Aftermarket Stereo With Mach 460

    I have a Pioneer head unit in my 2003 GT. I bought it from Crutchfeild, so it came with the necessary harness and plate to fit in the opening. It’s a little tight behind the radio so just make sure you tuck the wires in carefully so as not to pinch the wires.

    Rear Suspension

    Thanks. I plan on replacing the rear upper and lower control arms. Only makes sense if I damaged the bushings. This time I’ll make sure the weight of the car is on the suspension before I tighten the bolts on the control arms.

    Rear Suspension

    The car was on jack stands when I did the rear shocks. But I remember dropping the rear axle to fully extend the shocks. The jack stands were on the frame of the car not the axle. So I’m guessing the control arms are getting suspension wind up as you call it.

    Rear Suspension

    Hello, I have a 2003 GT Coupe. I noticed not long after I put Eibach sway bars and Bilstien shocks all around(including quad shocks) the suspension in the rear started skweaking like the car was 60 years old. It seems to only make the noise on roads that are bumpy. Not pot holes but bumpy...

    02 Stock Alternator Amps?

    Get a good alternator from PA Performance. These are all new ( only the housing is rebuilt) I have a 175 amp unit from them with the heavy gauge wire kit ( recommended). I have not had any problems since. My factory alternator started going just after the warranty on the car expired.

    02 GT Headlights seem very dim HELP

    Go to American muscle, they have great HID conversion kits for headlights and fog lights. Be warned though, you will not have high beam / low beam. It's just one setting. When you flip the high beams on there is a motor built into the lamp which aims the lamp upwards slightly giving the effect...

    Oil change time for my new 02 GT, time vs mileage on oil changes?

    Changing your oil is a lot cheaper than rebuilding your engine. I use motor craft filters and have been using Mobil 1 5w20 since the car came out of factory warranty, a long time ago. No problems. I change my oil every 5000 miles or 3 months whatever comes first.

    Electrical Hid Kit For My '99 Gt Headlights & Fogs

    I have had HID lights since 2011 and I bought the kit from American Muscle. The lights do not have low beams. What they do when you switch to high beams is there is a motor on the lamp which adjusts them to a higher position to make the light beam shine straight out rather than slightly down for...

    Quick X Pipe / Catback question

    I bolted in my cated x-pipe, mid pipes, and the entire Cat back pipes with 3" tips in one afternoon. Just make sure all the pipes are where you want them before you tighten them up. Be prepared to go back under after a initial drive to check that nothing came loose. I put my exhaust on my 2003...

    Mach 460 "BAD" error

    Try dissconnecting the head unit from the power source and then plugging it back in. The unit may have to reset itself internally when its powered back up. Otherwise it sounds like you fried some of the circuits.

    Its not bad. It pays homage to all the previous Mustangs in its design. Too bad Ford would probably not build it.

    Help with camshaft position sensor issue...

    gaerisch I am having the same problem on my 03 GT. I replaced the sensor but the code came back after a few startups. I noticed now for about a year that my alternator has been making whinning noises, especially when drawing alot of amperage (e.g.-headlights on, A/C on, and the defroster). The...

    P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor circuit fault

    Hello, I,m new to this forum but my 03 Gt has started giving me the same code. After 4 years and several mild bolt on mods, I figured something would go wrong. I read several forum articles that owners had the same problem and it was because of a faulty diode or regulator in the alternator. I...
