    Finally got around to everything. (overheating issues + adding usb port)

    Oh really? I was wondering about that... I figured bondo wasn't the best thing for it. Its just what I had available.

    Finally got around to everything. (overheating issues + adding usb port)

    For almost two months now my stang has been crippled to the point I can't drive on the highway long enough to get anywhere. (Still got me around town and to work fine) My heater core was shot, my radiator was near fin-less, my thermostat housing was seeping coolant (warped), brakes were...

    when flushing my cooling system what radiator hose do I take off?

    Heh... Just pick a heater/radiator hose and do something... Unless you have the engine running and are going against the flow I wouldn't think it could harm anything.

    Replaced heater core - now the blower isn't working

    Heh... I mentioned it to my boss today because he's pretty good with Fords. He had it figured out in no time. I neglected to fully screw in the bottom bolt that holds the whole HVAC on. (the blower's ground) (Got tired of laying upside down with absolutely no room and decided it wasn't...

    Replaced heater core - now the blower isn't working

    I've checked everything I can see. I just unplugged the blower from the connector behind the glove box and checked it for power. Its live so there is power going to the blower as far as I can tell. Maybe the problem is on the side of the wire that connects to the blower. Theres really not that...

    Replaced heater core - now the blower isn't working

    I replaced my heater core today (all I need to say :bang: ) I tried to test it...no blower. I looked in from the glove box and checked the connections (everything was good) I checked the fuse...good too. I reached under the dash and behind the blower to find where the orange and...

    when flushing my cooling system what radiator hose do I take off?

    I'm tearing my car apart to replace the heater core at the moment. If its the heater core you want to flush just remove the upper and lower heater hoses from the engine side. Put water in the upper and drain from the lower. If your hose clamps are not in great condition I would recommend...

    when flushing my cooling system what radiator hose do I take off?

    If you just mean the radiator all you have to do is open the drain at the bottom of the radiator. I've never flushed more than that so I don't know the exacts. The top radiator hose isn't going to be open (thermostat). So theoretically IMO you would take the top heater hose off and you could...

    Adjusting the winshield wipers?

    My winshield wipers have always been a little high. The drivers side more so. I've looked in a haynes manual and searched around but I can't find how to adjust them. Now they are hitting the side. I think the haynes manual said something about it and it sounded like a common sense...

    To me it sounds like something is up with your transmission. Just a guess though.

    Vacuum issues - Rough Idle - Advise me

    My engine has never idled perfectly. It was horrible when I first got it but a quick replacement of the FPR fixed that. It used to idle around 1500-2000rpms but at some point in the last few months it has went down and now it idles around 900-1000rpms. (Which is a pretty normal idle as far as I...

    Good colors for a fox body stang?

    I like the sonic blue. :nice: The hatch foxes are so much sexier. :( I think I'll go for dark grey or sonic blue. Leaning towards the blue now unless someone posts an equally awesome picture of a dark grey stang. I saw one quite some time ago in a forum. I think he was wanting to see how...

    Good colors for a fox body stang?

    I have an '88 Mustang LX and will have it painted in a couple months. Its white at the moment and needs a paint job to begin with. I would like to change the color. I'm thinking grey at the moment. I've also seen yellow and blue ones that I liked. If you have time could you post a few...

    Did my head gasket just go?

    It seems awkward that the coolant would have appeared there. There wasn't any coolant on the cover before that last bolt. But anyways if its impossible I guess the coolant is from the hose. I don't understand how but oh well... :shrug: Edit: I didn't mention that I checked and the radiator...

    Did my head gasket just go?

    Update: I fixed the hose and ran the car for about 5 minutes - nothing to report. It sounded a little different but I think its all in my head. (not the head in my car :p) This thing just has to last me about 3-4 more weeks.

    Did my head gasket just go?

    LOL, Hmm....I Have no idea what I'm talking about and I was taking a wild guess? :nice: In that case I guess its the valve cover bolt?

    Did my head gasket just go?

    Today on my drive to work I noticed a burnt smell so I popped the hood and found a heater hose spewing. I have my heater core bypassed and it was spewing next to the firewall - All over my transmission and spark plug. I found a small cat food can laying around so I put that by it to redirect the...
