    150 wet kit on stock motor, safe?

    Did you see the thread on "Intermittant Detonation" ??? N2o is just drugs for your engine... Install N2o on an engine that experiences detonation "anytime" and you can kiss your pistons and maybe your engine good-bye...

    2006 Saleen 281SC

    I just got all the poop off of Saleen's website I guess my presumption was that they were in the 2006 model year production just like Ford..

    Warranty Problem

    While I agree in your premise that "they should be getting the same rate" - etc - My experience comes from having worked as a mechanic (called Techs these days) in the dealerships.. Are you saying that there is no longer a delta between warranty labor rates and shop labor rates? What is...

    backlash and turning torque

    Backlash is only one of the parameters used in setting up a rear end. You will get all the specs for pinion depth and backlash along with the new gears. For an installation kit that will make the job go much easier, I would go to Jegs or Summit Racing. You will also need a dial indicator with...

    Drive by wire

    My 2002 Avalanche 2500 8.1l has it as well... Buddy's 2003 GMC 2500 has it on the 6.0l engine. Pretty sure that the same holds true for the Cadillac Escalades.

    Warranty Problem

    This is not entirely true... While my information is more than just a few years old since I've worked in the industry - I believe that Ford, GM and Chrysler (Can't speak for the imports) all have two different labor rates. There is a Public labor rate that is charged to the general public...

    Just traded my 67 GTA for an 2006 "Pony Package"

    While I'm happy that you're getting a new car, I think your GTA has investment potential that far eclipses that of the 06. That dealer should have traded you even up or given you some money to boot for your rare and daily appreciating car..

    Green Dash Lights - Change to White (Mod)

    Sorry man - but I've had a 2005 dash cluster in my hands and there are no "replaceable" dash lights as you would expect there to be from earlier cars. While the link you posted has some cool stuff - it does not have the surface mount LEDs that are required to modify the 2005 Mustang...

    Drive by wire

    It's controlled by a dual element throttle position sensor at the throttle pedal and a feedback stepper motor at the throttle body. The ECU reads the position of the throttle pedal and positions the stepper motor accordingly. GM has been doing it for a long time with good results. Why do...

    Fit and Finish - How's your's holding up?

    Green Dash Lights - Change to White (Mod)

    If your wiring harness supports it - you can buy the IUP/MyColor cluster and control switch quadrant and install them. The Speedometer head will need to be recalibrated to the vehicle and the mileage set by Ford (Dealer).

    Body mods complete!

    Hi Glen.. Not to Hi-Jack the thread but... I bought the one-piece louvers. I thought there would be less chance of rattles... No rattles at all - perfectly silent. The fit is fair and the finish is okay too. I hope the plastic latches hold up.. FAST-N-Yellow - we're gonna be picking...

    Green Dash Lights - Change to White (Mod)

    Sorry to have caused a ruckus with my question... I've got some experience in surface-mount soldering technology, but have found that the auto-manufacturers typically use flexible mylar for circuitry and this is pretty difficult to work on without damaging it.. I guess I was hoping that...

    Post Count - Doesn't always update... Why?

    Thanks for the info... Not a big deal to me - I was just curious..

    ring gear and pinion whine

    I agree that your diff needs to be set-up again... It will only get worse and not better. The longer you let it go like this, the gears will wear and you will not be able to re-set the clearances and have quiet gears. Unfortunatley - now you have to go back to the shop that did it and...

    Green Dash Lights - Change to White (Mod)

    Okay - I can't seem to find it.. Somewhere there was a thread (I thought it was this forum) where someone had the mod to change the green dash lights to white (like they are when your headlights are turned off)... Anyone know where that thread is or have instructions for the mod...

    What would you change on your S197

    So where in the heck are the heated seats? How about the interior trunk release button? Retro is nice but returning to hideous green dashlights? Adjustable headrests (fore/aft) would have been nice.. Other than those - I really like my car...
