    Alpine X001 Mustang Wallpapers For You

    I posted this in the 4.6 forum too and just came to think of that some of you guys in here may also be able to use these wallpapers I made for my Alpine X001 car stereo. These wallpapers will work with all X001 models (and maybe other Alpine models, I haven't tried). If you want to see more...

    Mustang Alpine X001 Wallpapers For You

    I just made some wallpapers for my Alpine X001 car stereo and thought I'd share as Alpine really doesn't have many to download. If you want to see more pictures of the car in the some of the wallpapers it's on my website myfordmustang.com. Your manual will have instructions on how to install...

    Changing the oil

    Thanks a lot for the photo you took. I was changing oil at the same time, and could not locate the oil drain bolt and was cursing the Mustangworld photo to hell. Now it's done though :).

    Fluid Evacuator Question

    The description of the product states that accessories are included for draining engine oil or transmission fluid directly through the dipstick tubes by vacuum. I read several reviews on Amazon where people used it for extracting oil through the dipstick and it seems to work great for them.

    Fluid Evacuator Question

    I came across a Fluid Evacuator and was wondering if any of you have ever tried it for changing oil? I wouldn't mind making it a thing of the past to have to raise the car and get under it every time. Click here to see the product Edit: I was having a brainfart. Of course I would still have to...

    My New Mustang Gallery Website

    That was both for the front and rear. They added some bolster to my seats - e.g. I noticed my front seats had more padding added on the sides when I picked it up, thus making them a bit more bucket seat shaped. They can also add heating pads, massage pads and numerous other color...

    My New Mustang Gallery Website

    Thanks for the comments! 281CI96Coupe> I did consider the chin and Mach 1 grille delete, but so far have decided against it - as far as the grille, I have always liked the honey combs, but never say never. Superhereaux> The seat install was $1,400.

    My New Mustang Gallery Website

    During the last 8 months my car has undergone several changes. To show the final results, I built a website with a gallery/wallpapers and guestbook. If you have time, please take a look at http://www.myfordmustang.com. What started it all was my black paint going bad (spider webbing) after...

    Help! My car will not start

    I just wanted to give an update to those who asked. The dealership diagnosed the problem to a faulty fuel pump, so I will have that fixed Monday. The reason the gauges were moving all the way to the right were because the battery was pretty much dead from trying to crank the engine. Thanks...

    Help! My car will not start

    I didn't have any welding done. They just painted the whole car. Good idea though. They called me from the dealership telling me they wouldn't be able to look at it until tomorrow. I'm wondering why they make appointments, as I made one for Tuesday and now they are not getting to it until...

    Help! My car will not start

    Not yet. I had it towed yesterday and they are looking at it today. I will update with news when I know more - probably this afternoon or tomorrow.

    Car problems just got worse (ignition issues)

    I did try and jump start the car and while it did solve the clicking noise, it still will not start. I have previously let it sit overnight and had luck starting it again the next day - one time I did what you also suggested and drove a 15 minutes trip to charge the battery. I returned home...

    Car problems just got worse (ignition issues)

    Nevermind, I think I found it. The cables seemed solid. Without ranting about Ford's lack of quality, it bothers me that my wifes old 100.000+ miles car is idling in great shape next to mine, which has less than 23.000 miles on it, always been garaged, always serviced etc. but can't start...

    Car problems just got worse (ignition issues)

    While checking the connections I wanted to have a look at the starter too, but somewhat mechanically inclined, I just can't find it. I checked the Haynes manual and the Ford technical service publication, but with no luck. I have it on jack stands and I am looking mostly on the right side for...

    Car problems just got worse (ignition issues)

    I didn't know low voltage could cause that, but it gives me hope that I *may* not have to use a tow car tomorrow. When my wife comes home I will try jump starting the car and see if that will help. Meanwhile I could spend my lunch break jacking up the car to check the starter. I recently had...

    Car problems just got worse (ignition issues)

    I found some information suggesting the noises I am hearing is due faulty connectors, e.g. on the battery (which I checked) and starter (didn't check). Seems like I have to put my car on a tow truck tomorrow :(

    Car problems just got worse (ignition issues)

    I had just posted about my car not being able to start at random intervals. When it finally started it had rough idling (less than 8 cylinders it sounded like). This morning I was going to take it to the dealership, but wanted to unload my Diablo Predator's custom tune (only thing changed was...
