    Noise from the rear end 03 GT

    Ok, so after reading that TSB I am not wondering...is the fluid in the "pumpkin" seperate from fluid in the axles? Never even thought about that being a possibility. And I am experiencing popping from my rear as well, and always have, but I believe it is the UJOINT. Check that

    Dead Speedometer After Battery Jumped

    Well I tend to be a half empty kind of guy....When I had my battery tested it had lost a few cranking amps, but evidently it is ok to operate the car. Car still running great today. I dont know much about the Speed Cal; it was already on her when I purchased. Being how annoyed I get about...

    Dead Speedometer After Battery Jumped

    What the hell is going on...I jumped my car(not sure why it was dead yet)...ever since then she is not good. Speedometer will not budge.

    calling convertible owner

    calling convertible owner

    ghetto doesnt describe it...that is a first step to converting your stang to a BEATER, if you ask me... I also have a leak, from what I read 7 years is the norm for a top to last. I would be contacting the company of your current top.

    In other words, should I be able to compress my shock with this test or could it be a mounting location problem?
