    dealership trouble part 2!!

    What dealership did you get it at? I have been shopping for a '05 up GT in Memphis lately too, I live just across the river. I test drove one at Dobbsm on Mt. Moriah about 2 weeks ago that had 15K on it but it had already been modded so I passed.

    Couple of questions about '08 GT

    Is it true the Spark Plug issue has been fixed on all '08 models? And what is the stock rear gear for an '08 auto GT?

    May be reunited with my first Mustang!!!

    Well I went and looked at my old fox today, couldn't wait for saturday. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is it was trashed! I would have had to get a loan from my credit union to get it and then spent a fortune on the interior alone before even getting to the trashed out paint job. So...

    May be reunited with my first Mustang!!!

    Not the Po-Po anymore LOL. As far as not knowing if you want your first stang back, I might not either. When I had it towed it was looking a bit rough. I can't wait to go take a look at it. Even if I don't get it because of condition, I'm hell bent for another fox!

    May be reunited with my first Mustang!!!

    Ok some people may remeber me around here. I had an 87' GT I daily drove for around 6 years. Two and a half years ago I went to work as a police officer and was making more money so I decided to buy a brand new Tacoma as a daily driver. Well I worked long hours and the 5.0 set under a cover...

    spark plug change

    Could be one of the reasons the Ford Motor Company is losing money left and right.

    spark plug change

    I have had a few mustangs over the years and am seriously considering getting a new one, but reading threads like this kinda discourages me from buying one. I would think any modern engine should be able to achieve 100K on the original plugs. All of the post about changing at 15K and all has me...

    Unmployed and back on Stangnet.

    Well I hope some of you guys remember me. I havn't been around here in a while. last year I went to work as a Police Officer and for some reason decided to sell my stang (needed cash). Well after a little over a year of having a blast being an officer and working 50-60 hours a week I resigned...

    rear main seal

    If I looked under a 5.0 fox and the rear main WASN"T leaking I would be suprised. Mine has leaked the whole 5 years I have owned it. My rear main seal and intake leak combined don't leak enough for me to add more than half a quart in a 3 month period so I just ignore it. As long as it isn't...

    How good were the carbed 2.3 engines?

    LOL @ 21 sec 1/4 mile. I used to have a '93 4 popper with the FI 2.3 and it was pretty tough. I am just looking at this for a beater so I may go check it out further thanks.

    How good were the carbed 2.3 engines?

    I found a 4 speed 2.3 II for sale for $800.00 the body isn't perfect , but it's ok and the interior is pretty nice. Are the carbed 2.3's pretty reliable? Good gas mileage?

    Does this sound about right for in town gas mileage

    I sold my 2.3 beater recently so I am back to my GT as my DD. I filled up last friday and the filled up again a mminute ago to see what I was getting. All week around town stop and go driving with the A/C blasting I got 16 MPG. Does that sound about average? Also I have an AOD and I lock OD out...

    Electrical Gauges, Mechanical Gauges, I need help deciding please.

    I agree 100% when I had my short sweep autometer electric oil pressure guage I didn't really find it any easier to read than the stocker. The width of the needle seemed like about 5 p.s.i. I like my full sweep mechanicals because I know EXACTLY what my oil presure is down to the last pound...

    Electrical Gauges, Mechanical Gauges, I need help deciding please.

    As for my gauges I have one of the plates that mounts them under the radio. I just routed my lines through the rubber boot around the steering column and then behind the console to the gauges. By mounting them there I don't have any tight bends and it was an easy installation.

    Oil Pressure PSI>>> Is 23 Good?

    23 p.s.i at hot idle int he middle of the summer with a 30 weight oil is fine. I run 10W-40 in mine in the summer and if I set and idle and the oil gets really hot it will sometimes dip to right at 20 p.s.i

    Electrical Gauges, Mechanical Gauges, I need help deciding please.

    I also prefer mechanical gauges. The full sweep is alot easier to read. As for not kinking the copper hose you just have to be carefull mouting it and it's a good idea to sheath it in something like rubber vaccum line so it doesn't rub anything. I had electric autometers before switching to...

    need help, can find correct fitting!?

    Yeah the one that comes with it is threaded for a SBC , but Summit has the fitting you need for a SBF. I had read about this on the board before and ordered the extra fitting with my gauge from summit. I bet like Hissin said though you can get the correct fitting at any parts store.
