    Coolant Smell

    I had the heater core on my f-150 blow on me when I was going to work one day. All I did was bypass it by looping the hose inside the engine compartment from the inlet to the outlet port of the heatercore. Granted I had no heat, but the air didn't work either, so I didn't care for it anyways...

    water + CAI =..?

    I live over Near Tampa, and as you know lately we've been in a drought. But about two maybe three days ago, it rained the hardest I've seen it in a long, long time. Well I accidentaly drove through a huge puddle and submerged the front of my car( since it's lowered as well) I was scared silly...

    Strange whirring sound

    I have a similar problem with my car. But it's so slight, you have to purposely be as quiet as possible to hear it. I thought it was the clutch, but it doesn't get any louder but seems to go along with my RPM range. Anyways, I just attributed it to mechanical noise. P.S. when I push the...

    I think i screwed up

    If you want to do it right, it won't hurt. However, I put a UPR short throw shifter in my car, and I never used any gasket or seal. I works fine, no leaks, and I've had it on for about 7k miles so far. One of these days, I may get to to, but until it leaks i'm not worried.

    Serpentine belt diagram

    He's right, I forgot about that, I was used to seeing it on my 94' f-150, but forgot about it on the stang.

    buyer help!

    Your probably 100% correct on it, motor had 42,000 miles when I bought it and blew it at 45,000 in change. Too late to go to Ford and complain seeing it was a little over a year ago it happened. Plus doubt they woulda done anything, not only cause it was 6 years old, but also because it's...

    buyer help!

    Actually what is was, a piston was slaping around in the cylinder, and I from what the mechanic was saying, it was too much(be it vibration, or whatever) it cracked. The rod didn't go through the block, which leads me to believe him. I've still got the stock plastic manifold on my car, and...

    4.6 or 5.4?

    I'd stick with a 4.6 but if you crave a 5.4, get either the lighting set up, or the cobra R. My logic is the air intake manifold runners. The cobra R setup was great and flow like 200+ cfm, and the lighting is badass too.:nice:

    buyer help!

    don't do what I did: I bought my 2000 gt from a used car lot, then about a month later when the warrenty runs out, throw a connecting rod racing a conv. mustang gt. on another note, If you get one 5spd is the way to go, they're just more fun to drive. There are differences in the motor...
