    Ford Tech Question

    All of this is scary, but when I go to my dealer they have been pretty good. I actually have some faith in them. Never tried to sell me stuff, but then again I know what I need and don't buy into service tricks. Now I'm concerned about getting my KC clutch installed there. I'm debating...

    Going to install Spark Plugs, have some Qs

    I wouldn't go too cheap on the torque wrench...after all you only need it once. Get the clicker type. I got a Kobalt at Lowes for $50-70...can't remember, but it is great...goes 10-100 lbft or whatever it is. I torque to 13 just like the bullittarchive(about 1/16th turn after hand tight)...

    Clunk sound coming from under dash?

    Does not sound like a front end issue. I don't know of any front end issue with mustangs. Eventually the tie rods go bad, but over 100k. Maybe U joints, but you can check those yourself. Not sure about tranny mounts, but I think you can check all of that and make sure they are tight...

    how long have you owned your 4.6L for?...

    Got it in May of 99 with 5 miles and still runs great 7 years later with 105k. Will probably keep it until it falls apart.

    need some assistance...

    When I took my rear seat out I found something interesting. There was an extra door latch laying in there...the little black thing inside your door jam that holds the door shut. Guess ford left it as a surprise.

    Unreliable power on Diablo

    Definately do not max the fuel to the lean side...that is crazy not knowing where you are at. If you leave the fuel as-is and max the timing you will be fine.

    Which way is up for UPRs....

    You might want to give UPR customer service a ring before you do that. I guess they could go the other way as long as nothing is hitting. I'd see what they say first.

    Which way is up for UPRs....

    I actually had the same question when I put mine on, but I think it made more sense the second way. That is how mine are on...with the little crossover piece on the top.

    99-04 cars 3rd gear question...

    My stock clutch has 105k on it and I have also about had it. It has a mind of its own and is hard to launch anymore. For normal driving, it still works fine though. I'm thinking King Cobra...

    ANyone Ever Use Meguiars Next Generation Tech Wax? ANY Problems?

    I just used NXT for the first time on my '99 Atlantic Blue GT. I personally thought it was the easiest wax to put on and take off that I have ever used. Very little residue also. It also gives an extremely mirror like shine that I haven't noticed before. I have heard it doesn't last long...

    Routine Maintenance

    I would just change the coolant and probably a new fuel filter. Tranny fluid is really overkill on a manual at your miles. I'd leave it alone. Air filter of course if you've never done that it is past due. I wouldn't bleed the brakes either unless you are bored and want to spend money. Not...

    DiabloSport Predator

    Yes. What exactly doesn't work? Were you simply unable to export and re-import? I don't think you actually modify the tune...just export to PC using the DSDownloader and then back to car at which point you can advance the timing again to 10%. I was just wondering if the timing would be at 0%...

    Royal Purple...really worth it?

    I wouldn't have a problem switching at 45k miles. In fact I probably would, but I'm at 100k so no dice.

    DiabloSport Predator

    Anyone ever tried exporting your current tune(with timing maxed) to your PC and then importing it back as a custom tune? Then maxing the timing again? Essentially you could then go to 20% more timing advance. I have been contemplating doing this as I run the Factory HP Tune with the timing...

    Removed Rear Cats

    I don't think you are losing torque. You are probably increasing it, but it is now higher up in the power band. This subject has been beat to death in some other posts.

    JLT RAI vs CAI

    I have the JLT RAI and like it. There are pros and cons to both and if you are just staying NA then it doesn't really matter. I didn't want a bend after the MAF and there is less risk(albeit not much) of water/debris with the underhood setup. Also, easier access than a filter sticking in the...

    Help me settle this arguement

    Go with the K&N drop in if you want to save money. You'd be much better off spending money elsewhere. HP difference is not the issue as the stock intake really isn't bad. If you had a 4v then you would see more gains, but you don't. If you just want to spend money and get some better looks...

    Ford Modular motors...question...

    I'm pretty sure mine does the same thing and I have done these same crazy things to listen. I found that if I get down under the car while running i hear it coming from the oil pan/engine area. It has done that for as long as I remember and no problems. I have 103k.
