    Bought a truck, may have made a huge mistake! Help!

    It has been a while since I have replied to this one. On Friday I was driving the truck to work (with the check engine light still on) and it stalled out on me at an intersection. I was pretty pissed about that to say the least. I got my landscaping stuff set up on a different truck and had...

    Bought a truck, may have made a huge mistake! Help!

    Took it in to get serviced today. Dropped it off around noon, they said it would be ready at 5. Picked it up and the check engine light is still on. I know they drove it, I looked at the mileage before I left it there. I looked into the Ma. Lemon Law and they have three strikes to fix any...

    Bought a truck, may have made a huge mistake! Help!

    I was starting to come around to the truck. Starting to like it, then the check engine light came on? Possible lemon? Possible out? The check engine light was not on when I test drove it. I am going there tomorrow, I think I might be ok to sneak out of this deal. Freddie

    Looking for new Otpima Battery-Red or Yellow?

    Which one do I want? I am replacing my old red one which did pretty good. Are there any advantages to the yellow one? My lights dimmed when I idled, which is somewhat due to the under drive pulleys. At $200 a pop, I want to make sure I get the best one. Thanks Freddie

    Anyone ever dye interior parts, mainly seats?

    Paul, I have the Torino 2's with the 4pt harnesses. I also have the same hood as you. Looks like we have similar taste. Very cool! I painted my air bags but thats as far as I have gone with interior design. There is that Dupli-color ad on tv where the guy paints his red civic si's seats...

    Pics from lowering

    Looks very cool! Way better than my stocker sits. Its funny how much the front wheels are pulled back by the stock suspension designs. Lowering our cars without a K-member really exemplifies how much Ford was off when they built our suspension in when was it...1976? I want to just slap...

    Do I have a short in the wiring in my drivers side door???

    Its been a long time since I've removed the door panel but IF I remember correctly... There is very little to removing the door. Get a flat head screwdriver and gently remove the plastic insert where the window/lock switches reside. Remove any screws/clips hiding behind that. Unplug the...

    will this car ever be reliable? problems!

    For a while my tach was jumping around at start up. I ended up braking down in the middle of the worst place at the worst time. After removing a lot of things and repairing them it turned out to be my coil. I'm not saying that this is your problem, its just that it sounds a little bit similar...

    Does anyone have a picture of a mustang with a trailer hithch or pulling something? Although it would be great to have that capability, it may look really really ugly which ultimatlly may change my mind. Still, I would blow the entire race track away rolling in there with a loud ass...

    Ummmm... How Can I Put A Trailer Hitch On This Thing?

    I race go karts (CRG Road Rebel w/ a 125ccRotax) and I have this crazy idea that I can use my Mustang to tow my kart to and from the track. I may be able to get a 8x4 open utility trailer for real short money. I got this idea from a photoshot of a yellow Z06 trailering its racing tires into...

    Hood Pins..

    Opal, I have that same hood, I like the look of the pins. I like the safety idea behind them even more. Can they be moved even further towards the front of the car?

    Wheels and tires are ON!!!!!!!!!!! (PICS)

    That thing looks dirty, very cool. Now you just have to drop it a foot or two. (Dont worry your not alone, I have the same 4x4ness on my stang) Ford should reissue springs to all of us sn95ers to bring our stangs down from the sky.

    Does anyone have any pics of our cars painted in Flat Black?

    See this looks kind of cool! Can someone do a little cut and pasting? This would look sweet with a S281 body kit. What finished rims do you guys think would look the best?
