    My 2011 Mustang GT prem..........

    When did you put your order in? I'm thinking about ordering one next weekend and I'm in Fernandina so I'm assuming the travel time would be around the same...that wait has got to be killer, though.

    2011 Mustang 5.0 GT order/buy price

    The dealer I spoke with here in Florida said even with the X-plan I could get the $500 rebate they're doing along with any rebates that come up during the 6-8 weeks they're building my car.

    2011 Exhaust - What should i get?!

    Isn't Magnaflow the only game in town for the '11s? I'm gonna wait for Flowmaster to come out with something. Mustangs with Flowmasters is kinda like T&A for me.

    exhaust

    The cut-out-the-cats solution is what the previous owner did on my '02. You can trick the computer out of throwing the code with a set of MIL eliminators for like 50-70 bucks for the plug-in ones(try americanmuscle.com) or you can make some yourself. They make splice-in ones that are cheaper...

    my 5.0 finally came in after almost 2.5 months!

    So what's the deal with custom ordering a car? I like the idea of the car being delivered directly to me and no jagoffs getting their greasy mitts on it (aside from me, of course). Do you pay a hefty premium for custom-ordered? Is there still the same bargaining/haggling?

    2011 Mustang 5.0 GT order/buy price

    I've heard of people getting them for $500 above invoice but after a serious session with a salesman here they only came 500 off sticker. As you might have guessed I'm still driving my '02....My plan now is to wait for the 'new' factor to die out while I save up a downpayment.

    Valve cover gasket install....

    The bolts on the outside closest to the firewall. The rear one there's just too much stuff in the way and the one before that is pretty much blocked by the strut tower so I'll need one of those sockets that can work at an angle and then we'll tackle this thing. Like I said, though, I...

    Valve cover gasket install....

    Well at this point I'm going to leave this to someone who belongs performing the task. Actually the bolt closest to number #1 cyl (the one where the COP had oil all over it) wasn't even hand tight so I tightened it in line with the other ones...gave it a little drive around (long enough to get...

    Valve cover gasket install....

    Anything else I need to know before I get in here and %$#@ this thing up?

    Valve cover gasket install....

    Yeah, they came with the gasket so I'll change those too...good to know.

    Valve cover gasket install....

    So I put RTV on the valve cover, attach the gasket, and put two dabs of RTV on the head at the front where the timing chain is....no RTV anywhere else on the head?

    p1639 code, could this have been the problem all along?

    Welp, so far so good. Only time will tell. I've got the original PCM and I'll check that tonight. They were nice enough to give me an extra key and fix my dodgy drivers' side window no charge....of course, they also found a misfire in cyl 1 that they wanted 350 bucks to fix but that's...

    p1639 code, could this have been the problem all along?

    No tune. Just took it to the dealership for a reflash and they claim the PCM was from a Ranger, then when they tried to reprogram it it wouldn't accept any codes....now I need a new PCM. This is very very fishy to me and I feel like they just fried my PCM and want me to foot the bill....

    Rough idle, worse MPG, dying at red lights, shaking....

    IAC didn't do it....car threw code P1693 so I'm guessing the PCM reflash might be the ticket.

    p1639 code, could this have been the problem all along?

    My '02 GT with '03 engine threw this code: P1639 "Vehicle ID Block Corrupted: Not Programmed" Car dies at idle, at speed, no rhyme nor reason. Sometimes if I leave the key in the on position long enough the odo will --------- and then the fan comes on. This was happening before the engine...

    Rough idle, worse MPG, dying at red lights, shaking....

    Gave that two good cleanings....think I'll replace it once today's paycheck hits.
