    Took the stang for a spin today

    Yep. I drove mine a couple of days ago. It's been cold here in KC and we received our first snow a couple of weeks ago. It's suppose to warm up for few days and I plan on driving the stang. I have some last minute xmas shopping to do and I'll be using the stang for that. It's very easy to...

    someone stole my rims!!!

    Man, I'm very sorry that this happened to you. I hope that you find your wheels. It's a shame that we work hard for what we have and someone takes it from us. I've had things stolen from me but not wheels. Was there any other damage done to your car? I wish I could help you out here. I...

    Battery Drain (Not A Stang)

    Just wanted to give you guys a update. I borrowed a DC amp/volt meter from one of the techs I work with. Those guys have all the toys. After doing some testing the car doesn't seem to have a slow battery drain. The amp meter show very little amps being used while the car was turned off. I...

    Thumbs up to the self car-wash spot free rinse

    Have any of you tried the Mr. Clean Auto dry car washing kit? I was thinking about buying one of those for home use. It comes with a filter that you use to rinse the car for spot free results. Pearl02.

    explain the numerical value of gears???

    I agree with you 100%. However, I did use the phrase "all things being equal" the car with 4.10's will finish the quarter before the one with 3.73's will. If you start to throw in other variables, then the one with 4.10's will not always finish ahead of the one with 3.73's. Good post. Pearl02.

    explain the numerical value of gears???

    Yea, what he said. With all things being equal(cars and drivers other than gears) the car with the 4.10's will get to the quarter mile quicker. Pearl02.

    99 GT bad miss at 2000 rpm

    I was gonna suggest that maybe you had some "trash" around the filter of your fuel pump. When you filled the gas tank, the gas dispursed away from the fuel pump filter. However, you said your a/f gauge was reading rich when the "miss" started. This throws my theory out. If this was the...

    first 4.6 for me, odd problem

    Just wanted to keep you guys updated. I switched the rear sensors around and driven the car for almost a week. No cel as of yet. Tomorrow I'm going to hook up my scan tool. After I switched the sensors around I still had a pending code. I believe this was due to the pcm not completeing it's...

    first 4.6 for me, odd problem

    Update: I flip flopped the rear 02 sensors this afternoon. I started the car to put it on the ramps and I noticed the cel was off this time. The pcm still had the p0430 code still stored in it. I cleared the code after I got the sensors swopped. I drove the car about 30 miles tonight. No...

    first 4.6 for me, odd problem

    Thanks man. I will flop the sensors this weekend. It's odd that the wire harness on the 02 sensors have different guide tabs. The connection on the sensors are also differnent colors (one is blue the other pink). I'll keep you guys posted. Pearl02.

    first 4.6 for me, odd problem

    Well, I have a MRT catted H-pipe on the car now so no more coverage for the stock cats. I've had the MRT on for 5 months. I was going to just flip the senosr but the guide tabs on the sensor wire harness offset differently. The only way to do is to break tabs. Other than that I believe the...

    Going to Test drive a 2010

    The GT I looked at had some type of handling package that came with 3.73 gears. I believe it was another 1200 for the package. I'm not sure what else comes with this package. Pearl02.

    Going to Test drive a 2010

    Glad you enjoyed the test drive. Did you get your 50 bucks? Your a braver man than me. If I test drove that car, I would probably buy it. I'm staying away from them right now. I recently went to one of the local ford dealerships to buy a key for my car. I saw a pretty decked out 2010...
