    O/D Off In City?

    Will keeping the OverDrive off when driving around town, burn out the transmission (Auto)? I own a 4.6 GT 'Vert and I when I have the O/D off in the city, it picks up faster from the start, and it sounds "meaner". I heard rumor that it burns out the transmission fast with O/D off. True...

    Orginal Sticker/Copy?

    Greetings, I own a '00 GT 'Vert. I know this is not a Technical question, but does anyone know where I can get a copy of my orginal sticker for my car? (exact sticker) Although I did buy the car "new", it had a few miles on it. The dealership's owner drove it around for a while before I...

    macco Paint?

    Here is my experience with Macco. I own a 1966 T-Bird which, at the time, was not painted. I brought it into a Macco and had it prepped and painted. It also needed some bodywork, a new passenger side rocker panel, and about a 6 ich hole in the passenger side front fender needed fixing...

    4.6 vs 5.0??

    Please forgive my ignorance, but why would a 4.6L V8 Mustang have more horsepower then a 5.0L V8 Mustang? On another note, could someone please explain to me what a Mustang "Fox Body" is? Again, sorry for my ignorance. Some guys at work have 5.0 L Mustangs and their HP is not as high as...

    Bird $hit + Paint = Pi$$ed

    Actually, I did that, too! :rlaugh: :rolleyes: Top was up, though, Thank God! It seems birds LOVE a 'Vert when the top is down. It happened to me one time when the top was down.(Not under a tree, though) I got back in time to see a "white mess" on my leather seat. I am glad it did...

    Does anyone have these markings under their hood? **Pics**

    I have similar markings on top of my fuse panel. (in the engine compartment) They were there when I bought my car new. No accidents since I bought it.... I think they are just factory markings. Good advice about the carfax check, though. StangVert00

    "Idiot" Light/Cruise Control?

    I have a '00 GT 'Vert. It does have Cruise Control, but is there an "Idiot" light to tell you that it's "On"? Every other car I have driven with Cruise has some kind of light that tells you the Cruise is "On". Does this light not exist, or do I have a burnt bulb somewhere? Thanks...

    Bird $hit + Paint = Pi$$ed

    Good advice. Bird crap eats paint, very fast. On a lighter side.... Be thankful you don't have a 'Vert and the top was down. Now THAT would be a big problem! :rolleyes: StangVert00

    Bugs on Bumper

    Well, I will probably get a little heat from this suggestion, but try a LITTLE WD-40. I used it to get all the bugs off of my '00 GT 'Vert front bumper a few years ago. I drove into a swarm of them who were trying to escape the fires in Florida. (I was on the Interstate.) I felt like I was...

    Howling noise at highway speeds??

    Good point! Thanks! :nice: Yes, mine are stock gears. But the more I think about my situation, the more I tend to think that it's the whisting of the new tires that is causing this with me. If it was warmer weather, I'd "drop the top" to see if I could hear the noise that way...

    Howling noise at highway speeds??

    Interesting.... I just posted a similar Thread a few minutes ago. I have a '00 GT 'Vert. I noticed the high pitch noise coming from the back (center) on the highway at around 65-80mph. I don't hear it driving in town. I had my tires replaced a few months ago and I think that may be the...

    Whistling Noise Hi-Speed

    Greetings, I have a '00 'Vert GT. I bought 4 new tires about 3 months ago, and since then, I have noised a high pitch whistling noise coming from the back (sounds like it's in the center) when I am on the highway. When I slow down to about 35-40, the sound disappears. The tires I...

    has anyone took off you GT bagdes

    When I bought my GT 'Vert new in 2000, some kids had taken off the GT emblems, both on the fenders and on the back trunck lid. (In the dealer's lot prior to signing the papers) When they replaced the GT emblem on the trunck lid, they did not level it correctly so it's off a few degrees. Some...
